1333 Boxwood Dr, Chesapeake, VA 23323

Why this home stands out

What sets 1333 Boxwood Drive apart is its rare combination of vintage 1956 character and an almost unbeatable position between two major military installations. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a six-minute drive; USCG Base Portsmouth is seven. That kind of dual-base access is hard to find among Chesapeake homes for sale, and the walkable cluster of restaurants, parks, and a grocery store within a mile makes the location work just as hard as the house itself.

BRENTWOOD and the Chesapeake real estate market

Boxwood Drive sits in a quiet, established pocket of western Chesapeake — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in Virginia. The streets here have a settled, mid-century feel: mature trees, modest lots, and neighbors who have put down real roots. Chesapeake stretches from the Great Dismal Swamp to the Elizabeth River, and this corner of the 23323 zip code puts you close to the working waterfront energy of Portsmouth while keeping the calmer pace of a residential neighborhood. City infrastructure is solid — Chesapeake's public works and parks system are well-funded — and the area draws a mix of civilian and military households who value short commutes and stable surroundings. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake will notice that this part of the city offers genuine affordability without sacrificing access to the broader Hampton Roads metro.
