Why this home stands out
What sets 1701 Chilhowie Circle apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,480 feet across four bedrooms and three full baths — and an almost absurdly convenient location. Three separate grocery stores sit within half a mile, a Starbucks is just around the corner, and multiple parks are a short walk away. For a 1987 build, the floor plan gives you real room to breathe without the upkeep of a sprawling estate.
BRIGADOON and the Virginia Beach real estate market
Chilhowie Circle sits inside the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach, one of the city's most established and centrally located districts. Kempsville grew up through the 1970s and 1980s as Virginia Beach expanded inland, and the result is a mature, tree-lined community with wide streets, solid brick-and-frame homes, and a genuine neighborhood feel that newer master-planned developments can't quite replicate. Neighbors have been here for decades, sidewalks connect to parks, and the retail corridor along Princess Anne Road and Kempsville Road means daily errands rarely require a highway. Virginia Beach as a whole offers a rare mix — oceanfront recreation, a strong military presence, and a diverse dining and cultural scene — but Kempsville gives you the quieter, more rooted side of that city without sacrificing access to any of it. You're roughly central to everything: the Oceanfront is about 20 minutes east, Norfolk is 15 minutes west, and Chesapeake is just across the southern border.
What's nearby
Everyday convenience is genuinely hard to beat here. Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and ALDI are all within half a mile, so a last-minute grocery run is never a production. When you'd rather let someone else cook, ZENSHI Handcrafted Sushi and Sakatomo Sushi are both 0.3 miles away, and Little Caesars is right there for easy nights. Starbucks and Wawa are equally close for your morning routine. For fitness, Higher Vision Studios, Planet Fitness, and Natural Bodyz Fitness 24/7 are all under a mile. Brigadoon Pines Park, Brigadoon Park, and Brigadoon Woods Park form a green belt within a mile, giving kids and dogs plenty of room to roam.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about eight minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a straightforward 15-minute drive — no bridge tunnel required. A VA loan can make this four-bedroom footprint even more accessible, and the three full baths mean multiple schedules can run smoothly on early-departure mornings. Kempsville's central location also keeps options open if orders ever shift to another Hampton Roads installation.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and three full baths in 2,480 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and then some. The Kempsville location puts parks, groceries, and restaurants within easy walking or biking distance, which matters more once you have a full household in motion. This is the kind of home where the layout actually matches how a busy family lives, not just how a floor plan looks on paper.
