1302 Portlock Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

What sets 1302 Portlock Road apart is raw proximity — Norfolk Naval Shipyard is literally six minutes away, and the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is seven. For anyone whose daily commute runs through either gate, that kind of drive time is genuinely hard to find among Chesapeake homes for sale. Add a manageable footprint, a 1965 build with solid bones, and a city that keeps property taxes competitive, and this address earns a second look.

PORTLOCK TERRACE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Portlock Road sits in the Portlock section of South Chesapeake — one of the city's older, established residential corridors that grew up alongside the shipyard economy in the mid-twentieth century. The streets here are quiet and grid-like, lined with single-family homes on modest lots, and the pace of the neighborhood reflects that working-class steadiness. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means you get suburban breathing room without sacrificing access to Hampton Roads' broader job market, waterways, and amenities. The 23324 zip code anchors you between the Elizabeth River to the north and the rest of Chesapeake spreading south — a location that keeps downtown Norfolk within easy reach while you still come home to a slower, residential rhythm. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often find that Portlock offers one of the shortest commutes to the shipyard of any neighborhood in the city.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are straightforward from 1302 Portlock Road. A Food Lion anchors grocery runs nearby, and the South Military Highway corridor puts a wide range of retail, dining, and services within a short drive.

Downtown Chesapeake's government center and the Greenbrier commercial district are both reachable in under twenty minutes, and downtown Norfolk — with its restaurants, waterfront, and medical facilities — is a quick hop across the city line.
