Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms across 2,159 square feet gives you genuine room to spread out. Three full baths mean no one is waiting in line on a busy morning. The 2006 build year puts the bones in a comfortable era — past the older-home quirks, but with years of life ahead. Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are each about seven minutes away, which is a commute most people in this region would take in a heartbeat. Indian River Park sits just down the street.

NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Elder Avenue sits in a quiet residential pocket of western Chesapeake, Virginia, close to the Portsmouth city line. The streets here are lined with single-family homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s, giving the area a consistent, established feel. Lots are generous by Hampton Roads standards, and the pace is unhurried. Indian River threads through the area, and the parks along its banks are easy to reach on foot. Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, yet it manages to feel approachable and low-key. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 64 and Military Highway connect you to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth in under 20 minutes. Anyone browsing homes for sale in Chesapeake will notice that this zip code sits right at the crossroads of three cities, which makes daily errands and commutes unusually flexible. The city's mix of suburban calm and urban access is a big part of why the 23325 zip code holds steady appeal.
