1604 Cullen Ave is a five-bedroom, 3.1-bath home built in 2011 in Chesapeake, Virginia. At 1,900 square feet, it gives you real room to spread out. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about four minutes away. This address puts daily life within easy reach.
Most homes near Norfolk Naval Shipyard sit in older stock. This one was built in 2011, so the bones are newer and the layout reflects how people actually live today. Five bedrooms and three full baths across 1,900 square feet is a generous count for the area. Three parks land within a half-mile. That combination of newer construction, bedroom count, and walkable green space is hard to find this close to the shipyard.
SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market
Cullen Ave sits in a quiet residential pocket of south Chesapeake, just across the city line from Portsmouth. The streets here are lined with single-family homes on modest lots, and the pace is unhurried. Cascade Park is two-tenths of a mile away, and Atlantic Avenue Park is just a short walk beyond that. The neighborhood has a working-city feel — practical, rooted, and close to everything that matters. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and that size means real variety. You get suburban calm without sacrificing access to jobs, shopping, or the waterfront. The Military Highway corridor is nearby for big-box errands. Downtown Norfolk and the Elizabeth River waterfront are under fifteen minutes east. Anyone browsing Chesapeake homes for sale will notice that the 23324 zip code punches above its weight for commute convenience. Interstate 464 and the Berkley Bridge give you quick connections across Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Cascade Park is 0.2 miles away — a natural first stop for a morning walk or an afternoon outside. Atlantic Avenue Park and Lakeside Park add two more green spaces within half a mile. For coffee, Rich Port Coffee and Dunkin' are both about 0.6 miles out, and the 7-Eleven on the corner covers quick stops. Little Caesars Pizza and 33rd Precinct are right around the block for easy weeknight meals. Dollar General and Super Mart handle everyday grocery runs within half a mile. South Norfolk Martial Arts and RheuFit are 0.7 miles away for fitness options close to home.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about four minutes from 1604 Cullen Ave — one of the shortest commutes you will find in Hampton Roads. USCG Base Portsmouth is the same distance in the other direction. VA loan financing is common in this zip code, and the newer 2011 construction means fewer surprises at inspection. Five bedrooms give you flexibility when schedules shift.
For first-time buyers
A 2011 build means updated systems and less deferred maintenance to worry about right away. Five bedrooms and 3.1 baths give you room that most starter homes simply do not offer. Three parks within half a mile add everyday value without any extra cost. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Oscar Smith High School and homes for sale zoned for Rena B. Wright Primary School will find this address lands in both attendance zones.
