VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

Meet 1601 Mary Lou Lane — a 2022-built, 3-bed, 2.1-bath townhome-style home in Chesapeake's Cardinal Meadows community. At 2,292 square feet on a compact lot, it delivers modern construction, a walkable food scene, and quick access to two major military installations.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 2022, this home skips the guesswork that comes with older construction — systems, finishes, and fixtures are all recent vintage. Cardinal Meadows sits in a pocket of western Chesapeake where a genuine walkable restaurant and fitness corridor has emerged right outside the door, which is genuinely rare for this part of the city. Three full floors of living space in 2,292 square feet means room to spread out without a large lot to maintain.

CARDINAL MEADOWS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Cardinal Meadows is a newer residential community in the western reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in the Mid-Atlantic. If you've been exploring chesapeake real estate, you already know the city's appeal: low crime relative to its neighbors, no car taxes on personal property, and a geography that keeps you close to everything in Hampton Roads without the density of Norfolk or Virginia Beach. Cardinal Meadows itself sits just off the Dominion Boulevard corridor, giving residents fast access to I-64 and the broader region. The neighborhood has the clean, cohesive feel of a community built in a single era — streets are tidy, homes are consistent, and the surrounding retail and dining development along the corridor has matured quickly since the community was established. Chesapeake's western side blends suburban calm with genuine urban convenience, and Cardinal Meadows lands squarely in that sweet spot.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from 1601 Mary Lou Lane. Breakfast options are steps away — Maple & Marley Breakfast Bar and Pho Yeah! are both within 0.1 miles, and Tap It Local is right there too for a casual evening out. Groceries are covered from multiple angles: a Walmart Supercenter sits 0.3 miles out, Publix Super Market at Dominion Station is 0.8 miles away, and Grocery Outlet adds a budget-friendly option at 0.9 miles. For coffee and smoothies, KENSLEY'S Açaí & Café is a short walk at 0.3 miles, with Tropical Smoothie Cafe not far behind. Fitness is well-served as well — Tidewater Jiu-Jitsu Academy and Ascend Bungee Fitness are both under 0.2 miles, and CrossFit Chesapeake is 0.6 miles out.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 10 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about 15 minutes — making 1601 Mary Lou Lane a practical fit for service members at either installation. A VA loan pairs naturally with a 2022 build since there are no deferred-maintenance concerns that can complicate appraisals. BAH rates in Chesapeake have historically supported this price tier well for E-6 and above.

For first-time buyers

A 2022 build means you're stepping into a home where the roof, HVAC, water heater, and appliances all have years of useful life ahead — that's a meaningful advantage when you're managing a first purchase. Cardinal Meadows keeps exterior upkeep manageable on a compact lot, and the walkable dining and grocery options mean you're not wholly dependent on a second car from day one. It's a low-friction entry into chesapeake va real estate.
