Why this home stands out
What sets 1703 Landsworth Street apart is its rare proximity to two major installations — Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a three-minute drive and USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes out. For anyone whose daily life revolves around either base, that kind of commute is genuinely hard to find. Add four bedrooms and two full baths across a solid 1962-era footprint and you have a home that works hard for the people who live in it.
SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market
Landsworth Street sits in a mature, established section of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that spans more than 350 square miles and consistently ranks among the largest cities by land area on the East Coast. This part of Chesapeake carries the quiet confidence of a mid-century neighborhood that has been lived in and cared for across generations. Streets here are tree-lined, lots tend to be generous, and neighbors tend to know each other. The 23324 zip code places you squarely between the working waterfront of Portsmouth and the commercial energy of downtown Norfolk, yet the immediate surroundings feel residential and grounded. Chesapeake as a whole offers a compelling mix: suburban calm, genuine community character, and access to the full Hampton Roads metro without the congestion of living right at its center. Daily errands are manageable, commutes to the shipyard are almost non-existent, and the broader city gives you room to breathe.
What's nearby
Everyday conveniences are well within reach of 1703 Landsworth Street. The Western Branch and Portsmouth corridors offer grocery options, pharmacies, and quick-service dining within a short drive. The Elizabeth River Trail system and City Park provide outdoor space for walks, runs, and weekend afternoons outside. Portsmouth's Olde Towne district — with its restaurants, coffee shops, and waterfront views — is just across the city line. Norfolk Naval Shipyard itself is three minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is four. For anything larger, the broader Hampton Roads highway network connects you to Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Suffolk without much effort.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Three minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Four minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth. For an active-duty family, that math changes everything — more time at home, less time in traffic, and a VA loan that can make ownership here genuinely accessible. Four bedrooms gives everyone their own space, and Chesapeake's stable neighborhoods mean you're planting roots somewhere worth staying.
For first-time buyers
A four-bedroom, two-bath home with 2,000 square feet of space in a quiet Chesapeake neighborhood is a meaningful starting point. The 1962 construction means solid bones and a well-established street. If you're connected to one of the nearby installations, a VA loan could make the path to ownership here more straightforward than you might expect — and the commute math is hard to argue with.
