1207 Kay Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

This 912-square-foot home sits on a manageable lot in a neighborhood within quick striking distance of two major military installations. The 1950s bones are solid, and the floor plan is straightforward: three bedrooms, one bath, and a layout that rewards thoughtful updates. You'll find Chesapeake homes for sale in this price band often require work—this one's no exception, but the bones and location make it worth the conversation.

EDGEWOOD SQUARE and the Chesapeake real estate market

You're in Chesapeake, a sprawling city that blends suburban neighborhoods with industrial and maritime character. This particular block has that working-class, mid-century feel—modest homes, tree-lined streets, and neighbors who've been here a long time. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's largest city by land area, stretching from the Elizabeth River to the North Carolina border. Getting around is straightforward: major roads like Route 17 and I-664 connect you to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the wider Hampton Roads region. Daily errands—groceries, gas, dining—are minutes away. The waterfront and parks are accessible but not immediate; you're inland here, focused on proximity to work and base life.

What's nearby

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is five minutes north. USCG Base Portsmouth sits about six minutes away. The Elizabeth River is roughly two miles south, offering water access for recreation. Grocery stores and pharmacies cluster along nearby commercial strips. Restaurants and coffee shops dot the surrounding neighborhoods. Local parks provide playgrounds and green space within a short drive. The wider Chesapeake area has trails, boat launches, and waterfront parks if you venture a bit farther.
