About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Don't miss out on this waterfront Penthouse condo in the heart of Great Bridge. Relax on one of two huge decks overlooking your own private boat slip offering the epitome of coastal living. Once inside, you will find a light-filled open space great for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The updates, including the HVAC, low-maintenance LVP flooring, and fresh paint mean you can pack your backs (and life jackets) and move right in! The ample storage indoor and out (don't miss the walk-in attic inside the primary closet) adds practicality and function. The resort-style condo amenities are not to be missed- not only is trash, water, and sewer covered, but you also have a community pool, clubhouse, and ground maintenance to leave all of your free time to enjoy your new coastal lifestyle. The sellers are open to selling the new boat and floating dock for an additional cost.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 173 Harbor Watch Drive apart is its rare combination of walkable convenience and genuine historic surroundings. The Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways Historic Park is literally 0.1 miles away — a living piece of American Revolutionary War history that doubles as a scenic daily escape. Add a Kroger at 0.4 miles, a handful of dining spots within a few minutes on foot, and quick access to two military installations, and this address covers a wide range of lifestyle needs without requiring a long commute for anything.

HARBOR WATCH CONDO and the Chesapeake real estate market

Harbor Watch Drive sits in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake — one of the city's most established and well-loved communities. Great Bridge carries a distinct small-town character that feels intentional rather than accidental: tree-lined streets, a walkable commercial corridor, and a genuine sense of neighborhood identity anchored by its Revolutionary War heritage. The Great Bridge Lock Park and the surrounding waterways give the area a relaxed, outdoorsy feel that residents tend to hold onto for decades. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in the entire United States, yet it manages to feel approachable and livable rather than sprawling and anonymous. City services are strong, infrastructure is well-maintained, and the broader Hampton Roads region — with its mix of military presence, coastal recreation, and economic diversity — is right at your doorstep. For anyone weighing where in Hampton Roads to put down roots, the Great Bridge corridor in Chesapeake consistently earns its reputation as one of the region's most grounded and family-friendly addresses.

What's nearby

Daily life at 173 Harbor Watch Drive runs smoothly. Kroger is 0.4 miles away for groceries, and Alohahola Hawaiian Kitchen and Joyu Tea & Coffee are both just 0.1 miles out — perfect for a quick lunch or a morning drink without getting in the car. Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Panera Bread are within 0.3 miles for more grab-and-go options. Fitness is equally convenient: Riverview Wellness is 0.2 miles away, and both RISE Personal Training and Your Time Fitness (open 24/7) are under a mile. The Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways Historic Park and Great Bridge Lock Park offer outdoor space within half a mile.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly five minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about fifteen. That kind of dual-base proximity is genuinely hard to find in one address. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the stable, well-connected Great Bridge neighborhood gives military families the kind of community that holds up well across multiple duty cycles.

For first-time buyers

At 1,894 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, 173 Harbor Watch Drive offers real, usable space without the complexity of a larger home. Built in 1990, the bones are solid and the layout is practical. The walkable surroundings — grocery, coffee, parks, and fitness all under half a mile — mean you get a lot of lifestyle without needing a second car for everyday errands.
