Why this home stands out
Built in 2021, this home skips the guesswork that comes with older construction — systems, finishes, and fixtures are all recent vintage. The 0.0229-acre lot keeps outdoor upkeep minimal, freeing up weekends for the rest of life. Two and a half baths across three bedrooms gives everyone breathing room, and the Hickory Manor address puts you squarely in one of Chesapeake's more accessible zip codes for daily errands and commutes alike.
HICKORY MANOR and the Chesapeake real estate market
Hickory Manor sits in the 23322 zip code of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently draws people looking for a quieter pace without sacrificing access to the broader Hampton Roads metro. When people search for homes in chesapeake, this corner of the city comes up for good reason: it's practical, well-connected, and genuinely livable. The neighborhood itself is a newer, tidy residential community where most of the housing stock dates to the 2010s and 2020s, meaning the streetscape feels cohesive and well-kept. Chesapeake is Virginia's third-largest city by land area, which translates to wide roads, lower density than Norfolk or Virginia Beach, and a suburban rhythm that suits families and professionals alike. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive south for weekend hiking, and the broader South Hampton Roads network of bridges and interstates keeps you connected to the peninsula and beyond.
