Why this home stands out
Square footage alone tells part of the story here: 4,369 finished square feet across five bedrooms and three full baths gives every member of the household genuine room to spread out. Built in 1997, the home sits along Ballahack Road in southern Chesapeake — an area defined by larger lots, rural character, and the kind of breathing room that's genuinely hard to find this close to Hampton Roads' employment and military corridors.
PLEASANT GROVE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Ballahack Road runs through the southern reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia, where the landscape opens up into wide lots, mature trees, and a pace of life that feels distinctly unhurried. This part of Chesapeake sits in the South Norfolk and Deep Creek corridor — far enough from the congestion of the urban core to feel rural, yet still connected to the broader Hampton Roads metro by a handful of well-traveled routes. If you've been browsing real estate listings chesapeake va and noticed how much the city's geography varies, this address is a clear example of the southern end's character: more land, more privacy, and homes that tend to be generously sized. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and that scale shows here. The city is known for its blend of suburban neighborhoods, farmland preservation, and waterway access — and the Ballahack Road corridor reflects all three. It's a place where neighbors tend to stay for the long haul.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life along Ballahack Road is quieter than most Hampton Roads addresses, and the Mariner Community Recreation Center just one mile away is a genuine asset — offering a local gathering point for recreation and community events without a long drive. For broader shopping, dining, and services, the Indian River Road and Battlefield Boulevard corridors in Chesapeake are accessible within a reasonable drive and carry the full range of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and retail you'd expect from a city of Chesapeake's size. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is also nearby, giving outdoor enthusiasts direct access to hiking and wildlife observation.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 25 minutes from 1904 Ballahack Road, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about 34 minutes out — both very workable commutes from a home this size. Five bedrooms and three baths handle deployments, homecomings, and growing families with ease. VA loan eligibility can make a property at this square footage significantly more accessible than comparable options in tighter submarkets.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you stacking people into too few rooms, 4,369 square feet across five bedrooms changes that equation entirely. There's space here for a dedicated home office, a playroom that actually stays a playroom, and guest accommodations that don't require anyone to sleep on a pullout. The southern Chesapeake setting adds elbow room outside the walls too — this is the kind of address where kids can actually roam.
