Why this home stands out

What sets 1408 Elder Ave apart is the combination of square footage, lot depth, and location that's genuinely hard to find at this price point in the area. At 2,380 square feet with four bedrooms and three full baths, there's real breathing room here. The 0.34-acre lot gives you outdoor space that most nearby properties simply can't match — and with Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth both seven minutes away, the commute math works out beautifully.

NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Norfolk Highlands sits in the northern tier of Chesapeake, right where the city quietly meets Portsmouth — and that border location is genuinely one of its strengths. The neighborhood has a grounded, established feel: mature trees, mid-century homes with real lot sizes, and streets that have been home to working families for decades. It's not a flashy new-build community, and that's exactly the point. If you're browsing houses in chesapeake va for sale and want something with roots, Norfolk Highlands delivers. Chesapeake as a whole is one of Hampton Roads' largest cities by land area, which means you get suburban breathing room without sacrificing access to the broader metro. Norfolk Highlands specifically benefits from quick connections north into Portsmouth and east toward Norfolk, making it a practical base for anyone whose life pulls in multiple directions across the region.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from Elder Ave. Beasley's Farm is just 0.6 miles away for fresh and local grocery options, with Lempira #2 at 0.7 miles and Food Lion at 0.9 miles rounding out your grocery choices. When you want a quick bite, Billy's Burgers and Dogs is half a mile out. Green space is genuinely close — Indian River Park North and Rokeby Center is 0.5 miles away, Blue Heron Landing Park and Plymouth Park are both within 0.7 miles. East Coast Gym and Drop Fitness & Wellness are each under a mile for your fitness routine.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Seven minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and seven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — that's a rare double-base commute win. With four bedrooms and three full baths, there's space for a growing family, a home office, or a dedicated guest room for visiting family. VA loan eligibility makes a home like this even more accessible, and BAH rates in this zip code align well with the area.

For families upgrading

If your current home is feeling tight, 2,380 square feet across four bedrooms and three baths is a meaningful step up. The 0.34-acre lot means real outdoor space — room for a playset, a garden, or just a backyard that doesn't feel like a postage stamp. Norfolk Highlands is an established neighborhood where the lots are generous and the streets are quiet, making it a natural fit for families ready for more room.
