Why this home stands out
New construction in an established Chesapeake zip code is a rare combination, and 1699 Bancroft Road delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this four-bedroom home arrives with modern systems, current energy codes, and a layout sized for real life — not a renovation project, not a compromise. Haven at Centerville gives you a true neighborhood feel without the age-related unknowns that come with older housing stock.
HAVEN AT CENTERVILLE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Haven at Centerville sits in the heart of Chesapeake's Greenbrier corridor — one of the city's most consistently sought-after pockets for a reason. The surrounding streets are a mix of established tree-lined blocks and newer infill development, giving the area a layered, lived-in character that purely new subdivisions rarely achieve. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and that scale translates into breathing room: lower density, more green space, and a pace that feels genuinely residential even as retail and employment hubs stay close. The 23320 zip code anchors you near Greenbrier Parkway's full retail corridor while keeping you clear of the congestion that plagues more urban Hampton Roads addresses. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake consistently rank this part of the city near the top for livability, and the numbers back that up — short commutes, walkable errands, and a neighborhood that holds its character year after year.
What's nearby
Daily life runs smoothly from Bancroft Road. Greenbrier Mall and the surrounding retail strip along Greenbrier Parkway put grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and big-box shopping within a five-minute drive. For coffee, local cafés and national chains dot the corridor in every direction. Chesapeake City Park — one of the region's largest municipal parks — is a short drive away and offers trails, sports fields, and open green space. Interstate 64 access is close, connecting you to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the broader Hampton Roads metro without a complicated surface-street maze. The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is just seven minutes out, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in roughly nineteen.
