1404 Chesapeake Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

What sets 1404 Chesapeake Ave apart is the rare combination of genuine square footage — 2,410 feet across four bedrooms — and an almost unbeatable position relative to two major installations. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a three-minute drive; USCG Base Portsmouth is four. For households where commute time to the gate genuinely shapes quality of life, that proximity is hard to replicate anywhere else in Chesapeake.

SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market

1404 Chesapeake Ave sits in the South Norfolk corridor of Chesapeake — one of the region's most historically rooted communities, developed in the post-war era and still carrying that mid-century neighborhood character. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and the blocks feel lived-in and established rather than cookie-cutter. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means you get a genuine small-neighborhood feel without sacrificing access to a full urban amenity set. The South Norfolk pocket specifically has seen steady reinvestment over the years, with a tight-knit community identity that long-term residents tend to hold onto. You're in the heart of Hampton Roads, with easy reach to Portsmouth, Norfolk, and the broader metro — yet day-to-day life here moves at a noticeably calmer pace. If you've been browsing homes for sale in Chesapeake, VA and prioritizing both space and location, this address checks both columns.
