Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 136 Bella Drive apart is the combination of size and relative newness — 2,811 square feet built in 2016 means you get the room of an established neighborhood home without the maintenance surprises that come with older construction. Five bedrooms give you genuine flexibility, whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or space that simply grows with your household over time.

VIRIDIAN RESERVE AT HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market

136 Bella Drive sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast and consistently ranked among the safest and most livable in the state. This part of Chesapeake carries a suburban feel with genuine walkability baked in: restaurants, coffee, and fitness are steps away rather than a drive across town. The Great Bridge corridor nearby adds a layer of local character, with independent businesses alongside the everyday conveniences you rely on. Chesapeake's southern zip codes tend to attract buyers who want space — both inside their homes and around them — without sacrificing proximity to Hampton Roads employment centers. The city's infrastructure investment in this area shows in well-maintained roads and accessible green space. Whether you're commuting north toward Norfolk or staying local, 136 Bella Drive places you in a part of Chesapeake that feels established and connected without feeling crowded.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from 136 Bella Drive. Harris Teeter is half a mile away for grocery runs, and when you want a meal without cooking, The Stockpot Chesapeake, Almighty Meals, and Studly Brewing Company are all within a tenth of a mile. Morning coffee is covered by Pale Horse Coffee – Great Bridge right around the corner, with a Starbucks Coffee Company just down the road at 0.5 miles. Fitness options are equally close — Jazzercise Chesapeake South Hickory Fitness Center and CrossFit Krypton are both nearby, and The Little Gym of Chesapeake is a half mile out for younger family members.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 11 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about 21 minutes — both well within a practical daily commute. A VA loan can make a five-bedroom home like this one more accessible than many buyers expect, and the size means you have room for the full household, including any extended family visiting during a PCS transition.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and three full baths across 2,811 square feet gives a growing family genuine room to breathe. Built in 2016, the home avoids the deferred-maintenance cycles common in older construction, so your energy and budget go toward living here rather than catching up on repairs. The nearby Little Gym of Chesapeake and walkable dining make the surrounding area just as family-friendly as the home itself.
