Why this home stands out
Being built in 2026 means everything here is genuinely new — the systems, the finishes, the bones. You're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance or outdated layout. At 2,032 square feet across four bedrooms, there's real room to grow, and the half-bath keeps the main living areas practical for daily life. Add in a seven-minute commute to USCG Finance Center Chesapeake and you have a home that works hard on every front.
NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market
1724 A English Ave sits in Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast and a place that consistently earns high marks for livability. This part of Chesapeake has a grounded, residential feel: established streets, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay put. The city itself offers a rare combination of suburban calm and genuine urban access, with downtown Norfolk just a short drive north and Virginia Beach's oceanfront reachable in under 30 minutes. Chesapeake's infrastructure is solid — roads are well-maintained, the parks system is extensive, and the city has invested steadily in greenways and recreation. Indian River winds through this part of town, giving the surrounding neighborhoods a softer, more natural character than you'd expect this close to the metro core. For military households, Chesapeake's central position between multiple installations makes it one of the most strategically located cities in Hampton Roads.
