Why this home stands out
What sets 1424 Martin Avenue apart is its unbeatable proximity to two major installations — Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are both under five minutes away — paired with a walkable pocket of Chesapeake where parks, dining, and everyday errands are all within a half-mile. For a three-bedroom home built in 1981, the footprint is efficient and the location does the heavy lifting.
COUNTRY PLACE and the Chesapeake real estate market
1424 Martin Avenue sits in the South Norfolk corridor of Chesapeake, a historically rooted community that has been home to working families and military households for generations.

Atlantic Avenue Park is literally at your doorstep, and Cascade Park is just a two-minute walk away — green space is never far. Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area in the United States, yet this particular corner of it feels like a tight-knit small town. If you're working with real estate agents in chesapeake va, they'll tell you South Norfolk is one of the most affordable entry points into city homeownership, with quick access to the interstate network and both Portsmouth and Norfolk just across the city line. The broader Chesapeake market draws buyers who want Virginia's infrastructure without the congestion of its denser neighbors.
