Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is the lot. At 0.35 acres, you're getting genuine yard space in a city where that's increasingly hard to find — room for a garden, a fire pit, weekend cookouts, or simply breathing room between you and your neighbors. The single-story layout means everything you need is on one level, and the 1972 construction era typically brings solid brick-and-frame builds with wide rooms and practical floor plans that hold up decade after decade.
ALBEMARLE ACRES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Albemarle Acres sits in the western reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and a community that consistently ranks among the most livable in the Hampton Roads region. The neighborhood has a quiet, established feel: mature trees, wide lots, and streets where people actually know their neighbors. It's the kind of place that drew families in the 1970s and has kept them here ever since, with a steady mix of long-timers and newer residents who appreciate the calm without sacrificing convenience. Chesapeake itself offers a compelling combination — lower density than Norfolk or Virginia Beach, strong infrastructure, and easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads via I-64 and the Chesapeake Expressway. Whether you're commuting to a military installation, heading downtown for dinner, or just running Saturday errands, the city's road network makes it manageable. Albemarle Acres specifically benefits from its position near the Great Dismal Swamp corridor, giving the whole area a greener, more spacious character than you'd expect this close to a major metro.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from Pamlico Blvd. Grocery runs, pharmacy stops, and quick dining are all within a short drive along the Battlefield Boulevard corridor — one of Chesapeake's main commercial spines. You're also close to several parks and green spaces that take advantage of the area's natural setting, including access points near the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge for hiking and wildlife watching. The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is just seven minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a manageable 19-minute drive for those with ties to Portsmouth. Commutes in multiple directions are straightforward from this part of the city.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake and 19 minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard makes 1404 Pamlico Blvd a practical home base for Coast Guard and Navy households.

For families upgrading
If you've outgrown a smaller home or a tighter lot, this is the kind of address that gives you room to actually live. Three bedrooms, a half-bath in addition to the full bath, and 0.35 acres means space for everyone — inside and out. The single-story layout is genuinely family-friendly, and Albemarle Acres has the established, low-traffic feel that makes a neighborhood feel safe and settled.
