1213 Lakeford Pl, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a single-family home under 3,000 square feet is a rare configuration — it means flexible space that works as a guest suite, a home office, a playroom, or all three at once. Add three full baths, a 1986 build that sits in a mature, established neighborhood, and a nine-minute commute to USCG Finance Center Chesapeake, and 1213 Lakeford Place earns its place on any serious short list.

BRANDERMILL and the Chesapeake real estate market

Lakeford Place sits in the 23322 zip code — the southern tier of Chesapeake that residents tend to hold onto. Streets here are quiet and tree-lined, the lots are generous by Hampton Roads standards, and the pace feels genuinely suburban without the isolation that sometimes comes with it. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which translates to breathing room: lower density, larger parcels, and a city government that has consistently invested in parks and infrastructure. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge anchors the western edge of the region, while the city's network of trails and waterways keeps outdoor life close. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often land in this zip code specifically because it threads the needle between accessibility and calm — you're connected to the broader Hampton Roads metro without feeling like you're in the middle of it.

What's nearby

Etheridge Lakes Park is just 0.6 miles away — a natural anchor for morning walks, weekend afternoons, and the kind of low-key outdoor time that makes a neighborhood feel like home.

Daily errands along the Chesapeake corridor are straightforward, with grocery, pharmacy, and dining options clustered along nearby arterials — meaning most of what you need on a weekday evening is a short drive, not a production.
