1712 Ohio St, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

What sets 1712 Ohio Street apart is the combination of genuine early-twentieth-century architecture and an almost unbeatable proximity to Norfolk Naval Shipyard — three minutes by car. Four bedrooms in a home this age and this close to two major installations is a rare find in the 23324 zip code. The bones here carry more than a hundred years of Chesapeake history, and that's not something you can replicate with new construction.

SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market

The 23324 zip code sits in the South Norfolk corridor of Chesapeake — one of the older, more established pockets of a city that often surprises newcomers with how much variety it holds. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and while much of it is newer suburban development, this part of town has deep roots. The streets here are tight-knit, walkable in a classic neighborhood sense, and carry the kind of lived-in character that comes from generations of working families putting down roots close to the shipyard and the water. You're right at the edge where Chesapeake meets Portsmouth, which means you get the quieter residential feel of one city with quick access to the amenities and employment centers of both. It's an honest, unpretentious neighborhood — the kind where neighbors wave from the porch and everyone knows the block.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Ohio Street. Mr Food Mart is half a mile away for quick grocery runs, and In and Out Smoke Shop and Deli is at the same distance if you need a fast bite or a few staples. Dollar General is just 0.7 miles out for household basics. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a three-minute drive — essentially walkable for some assignments — and USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes in the other direction. Downtown Portsmouth's waterfront, with its restaurants and ferry access to Norfolk, is a short drive north.
