Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

1601 Jackson Ave is a five-bedroom, three-bath home in Chesapeake, Virginia, built in 1987 and spanning 1,968 square feet. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about four minutes away. Three parks sit within a half-mile. This is one of the more connected addresses among Chesapeake homes for sale.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in under 2,000 square feet is a rare layout. The third full bath adds real flexibility — guests, a home office suite, or a dedicated space for the busiest mornings. Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are each about four minutes by car. Cascade Park is two-tenths of a mile on foot. The combination of base proximity, park access, and bedroom count is hard to replicate at this zip code.

QUINCY PLACE and the Chesapeake real estate market

1601 Jackson Ave sits in the South Norfolk area of Chesapeake, a tight-knit grid of modest single-family homes and tree-lined streets that have anchored this corner of the city for decades. The blocks here feel established. Neighbors know each other, and the sidewalks see real foot traffic. Atlantic Avenue Park is three-tenths of a mile away, and Lakeside Park is just four-tenths. That density of green space inside a walkable radius is one of the area's quiet strengths. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and it carries a distinct character — part urban, part suburban, with genuine neighborhoods rather than sprawl. Getting around is straightforward. Interstate 464 connects you north toward Norfolk and south toward the rest of the city in minutes. Anyone browsing homes for sale in 23324 will find that this zip sits at a practical crossroads of the region.

What's nearby

Cascade Park is the closest green space, just 0.2 miles out. Atlantic Avenue Park and Lakeside Park add two more options within a short walk. For quick grocery runs, Dollar General is 0.4 miles away, with Super Mart and Mr Food Mart both under a mile. 33rd Precinct and Little Caesars Pizza are each about half a mile for a casual meal. Rich Port Coffee and Dunkin' are 0.6 miles out when you need a morning stop. South Norfolk Martial Arts and RheuFit are both 0.7 miles away for fitness.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about four minutes from 1601 Jackson Ave — one of the shortest base commutes you will find in this part of Chesapeake. USCG Base Portsmouth is equally close at four minutes. VA loan financing is common in this zip, and the five-bedroom count means you have room to spread out from day one without waiting on a renovation.

For buyers drawn to character

South Norfolk has the kind of bones that newer developments skip. The street grid is logical, the lots are defined, and the neighborhood has a real identity built over decades. Five bedrooms in a 1987 build gives you space to shape the home around your life. If you are comparing homes for sale zoned for Oscar Smith High School or homes for sale zoned for Rena B. Wright Primary School, this block puts you squarely in both attendance zones.
