Why this home stands out

This 1972-built home sits on an established block with mature trees and steady neighbors. The layout gives you three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a compact footprint—efficient and straightforward. You're looking at honest bones and a chance to shape the space to your taste. The location punches above its weight: you're minutes from the shipyard, yet tucked into a residential Chesapeake neighborhood away from highway noise.

NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Hawthorne Drive is a tree-lined street in a stable, working residential area of Chesapeake. The homes here are modest, well-kept, and built for people who value proximity to work and community. You'll find a mix of longtime residents and newcomers drawn by the short commute to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and the affordability that comes with homes for sale in Chesapeake. The neighborhood has real parks nearby—Plymouth Park is just half a mile away, and Indian River Park North offers green space and recreation a short drive off. Daily errands are easy: Beasley's Farm for groceries sits a mile away, and quick bites at LA PARADA STREET FOOD or Billys Burgers and Dogs are under a mile. Chesapeake itself is a sprawling city that blends suburban comfort with working-waterfront heritage. You're close enough to downtown Norfolk and the Elizabeth River to feel connected to the region's maritime culture, yet far enough out to enjoy quieter streets and lower density.

What's nearby

Plymouth Park is a half-mile walk and offers playgrounds and open green space. Indian River Park North and Campostella Square Park are both within a mile, giving you multiple options for outdoor time. Beasley's Farm grocery is one mile away for your weekly shop. Quick meals and coffee are close: LA PARADA STREET FOOD and Billys Burgers and Dogs are under a mile, and 7-Eleven and McDonald's are nearby for grab-and-go. RheuFit gym is one mile if you're looking for a fitness option in the area.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Seven minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and seven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth. VA loan financing is common in this price range and neighborhood. The compact layout and established street mean minimal surprises—no major systems overhaul needed. You'll find strong resale interest here because the commute is unbeatable for shipyard personnel.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms give you solid sleeping and bath space without excess square footage to maintain. The straightforward floor plan works well for a household that needs separate zones without wasted hallways. A modest yard offers outdoor space without demanding constant upkeep. The established neighborhood means mature trees and quiet streets where you can settle in.
