Why this home stands out
The name says it all — Waterway Circle suggests a setting shaped by the water-laced landscape that defines southern Chesapeake. At 2,576 square feet spread across three bedrooms and three full baths, this is a home with real breathing room. The 1976 construction era means solid bones, generous room proportions, and the kind of mature lot character that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate.
WATERWAY ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the 23322 zip code sits in its southern reaches — a quieter, more spread-out corner where wooded lots and waterway corridors give the landscape a distinctly unhurried feel. Waterway Circle fits right into that character. Streets here tend to wind rather than grid, lots run generous, and neighbors tend to stay for decades. You're far enough from the urban core to feel removed from the noise, yet close enough to Greenbrier and the broader South Hampton Roads corridor that errands and entertainment are never a long drive. Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's safest and most livable cities, and the 23322 pocket is a big reason why — it draws buyers who want space, stability, and a genuine sense of place without sacrificing access to jobs, bases, and the coast.
What's nearby
Daily life flows easily from Waterway Circle. Grocery runs, pharmacies, and casual dining are all reachable within a short drive along the South Battlefield Boulevard and Volvo Parkway corridors. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is practically a neighbor, offering miles of hiking and paddling trails for anyone who likes their weekends outdoors. Chesapeake City Park provides ball fields, a dog park, and open green space. For a wider retail and dining mix, the Greenbrier area is roughly 15 minutes north and covers just about everything else.
