Why this home stands out

What separates 136 Bella Drive from the crowd is the combination of size and relative youth — five bedrooms across 2,811 square feet, built in 2016, means you get modern construction standards without the premium of new-build pricing anxiety. The floor plan has room for a dedicated home office, overnight guests, and a growing family all at once, which is genuinely rare in this part of Chesapeake.

VIRIDIAN RESERVE AT HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the 23322 corridor — anchored by the Great Bridge community — captures everything that draws people here: quiet residential streets, mature trees, and an infrastructure that actually keeps up with demand. Bella Drive sits in a pocket of the city where neighbors tend to stay for years, which gives the area a settled, community-oriented feel rather than the revolving-door energy of newer master-planned developments. Great Bridge itself has a genuine local identity — a drawbridge, a historic battlefield park, and a small-town rhythm that somehow coexists with quick access to the rest of Hampton Roads. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake consistently land in this zip code because it threads the needle between suburban calm and genuine convenience. Chesapeake as a whole leans residential and proud of it, with city services, low-density zoning, and a commitment to green space that makes it one of the more livable corners of coastal Virginia.

What's nearby

Step outside and the immediate block punches above its weight. The Stockpot Chesapeake, Almighty Meals, and Studly Brewing Company are all within a tenth of a mile — meaning a weeknight dinner or a casual Friday pint is a short walk, not a drive. Pale Horse Coffee in Great Bridge is equally close for morning rituals. Harris Teeter is just half a mile out for a full grocery run, and a Starbucks sits at 0.5 miles for those longer errand loops. Fitness options are genuinely varied: Jazzercise Chesapeake South Hickory Fitness Center is 0.1 miles away, CrossFit Krypton is under half a mile, and The Little Gym of Chesapeake — great for younger kids — rounds things out at 0.5 miles.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly eleven minutes from Bella Drive, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about twenty-one minutes out — both well within the commute range most service members target. A VA loan pairs naturally with a five-bedroom layout that accommodates PCS moves, remote-work needs, and extended family under one roof. Chesapeake homes for sale at this square footage and age are a practical fit for E-6 through O-3 households.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and three full baths in a 2016-built home means you're not compromising — everyone gets space, and the bathrooms don't create morning gridlock. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Great Bridge High School and homes for sale zoned for Southeastern Elementary School will find 136 Bella Drive lands squarely in that attendance zone, making this a logical upgrade address for households ready to stop outgrowing their current square footage.
