Why this home stands out
At nearly 3,500 square feet, 1717 Long Ridge Road gives you space that most homes in this price tier simply can't match — four bedrooms, three full baths, and a dedicated half-bath mean the layout actually works for real life. Built in 2011, the home sits in a sweet spot: recent enough for modern construction standards, yet past the early-ownership rough edges. Southern Chesapeake living at a scale that's hard to find.
HICKORY and the Chesapeake real estate market
Long Ridge Road sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast and consistently ranked among the safest and most livable in the region. This part of Chesapeake has a quieter, more spread-out character than the city's northern corridors: wider lots, tree-lined streets, and a pace that feels genuinely suburban without being remote. Chesapeake's Great Dismal Swamp, its network of parks, and the Northwest River Park are all within easy reach, giving outdoor-oriented households plenty to explore on weekends. Everyday errands are handled efficiently along the Battlefield Boulevard and Kempsville Road corridors nearby. The city itself is well-funded, infrastructure is solid, and the southern zip codes like 23322 tend to attract buyers who want elbow room without sacrificing access to the broader Hampton Roads metro.
What's nearby
Daily life from Long Ridge Road is straightforward. Grocery options, pharmacies, and big-box retail cluster along Battlefield Boulevard just a short drive north. The Northwest River Park — one of Chesapeake's most beloved green spaces — offers hiking, kayaking, and camping within about 15 minutes. Great Bridge, with its historic lock and waterfront charm, is close enough for a casual evening out. The Chesapeake Expressway provides a direct shot toward the Outer Banks when the weekend calls for it. Coffee shops and casual dining are plentiful along the Greenbrier corridor, roughly 20 minutes away.
