Why this home stands out
What sets 1707 Bancroft Road apart is simple: everything is brand new. Built in 2026, this 3,270-square-foot home hasn't seen a previous owner, which means no deferred maintenance, no aging systems, and no compromises inherited from someone else's choices. Four bedrooms and three full baths give you the kind of space that's genuinely hard to find among new homes in Chesapeake, VA — all within a planned community that's still taking shape around you.
HAVEN AT CENTERVILLE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Haven at Centerville sits in the heart of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in the Mid-Atlantic. The neighborhood is a newer development, which means clean streetscapes, fresh infrastructure, and neighbors who are all arriving around the same time you are. That shared newness creates a natural sense of community from day one. Chesapeake itself covers more ground than most people expect — nearly 350 square miles — blending suburban convenience with genuine green space, including the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge to the west. The Centerville corridor puts you close to retail, dining, and healthcare without the congestion of older, denser parts of the region. If you've been searching for new homes for sale in Chesapeake, Haven at Centerville represents one of the more compelling options available right now in terms of location, scale, and community design.
