Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 136 Bella Drive apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a post-2015 build date — you're getting modern construction standards, energy-efficient systems, and the kind of open, flexible floor plan that older homes in the area simply can't match. Five bedrooms means dedicated space for a home office, a guest room, and still have bedrooms left over for the kids. Three full baths keeps the morning rush manageable.

VIRIDIAN RESERVE AT HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market

136 Bella Drive sits in the 23322 zip code of Chesapeake — one of the most sought-after corners of the city for families who want suburban breathing room without feeling cut off from everything. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and that scale works in your favor here: neighborhoods feel spacious and unhurried, lots tend to be generous, and traffic rarely reaches the gridlock levels you'd find closer to the coast. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is practically in the backyard of the broader region, giving outdoor enthusiasts miles of trails and paddling routes. Locally, Greenbrier and Western Branch are the commercial corridors you'll lean on most — both are a short drive away and cover everything from major grocery chains to specialty dining. The city's newer southern growth areas have attracted solid retail and restaurant investment over the last decade, so daily errands are genuinely easy. If you've been searching for homes in Chesapeake, this address puts you in one of its most livable zip codes.

What's nearby

Day-to-day conveniences cluster quickly around Bella Drive. Greenbrier Parkway is your go-to corridor for groceries, pharmacies, and a wide range of restaurants — it's roughly ten minutes northeast. Chesapeake City Park offers athletic fields, a dog park, and walking paths for weekend afternoons. The Battlefield Golf Club is nearby for those who like to unwind with eighteen holes. Harbour View and the broader Western Branch area add additional dining and retail options to the south and west. Interstate 64 access keeps Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the broader Hampton Roads metro within a comfortable commute range.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is just eleven minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in about twenty-one minutes — making 136 Bella Drive a practical choice for active-duty households. Five bedrooms give you flexibility whether you're a single service member needing a roommate setup or a family that needs dedicated space for remote work during deployments. A VA loan can make financing a newer home like this especially straightforward.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current home, 2,811 square feet across five bedrooms and three full baths is the kind of layout that actually solves the space problem rather than just delaying it. Built in 2016, the systems and finishes are still relatively young — meaning fewer surprise repair bills in the near term. Chesapeake's 23322 zip code consistently attracts families for exactly this reason: room to grow in a city that keeps expanding its own amenities.
