Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Few addresses in this zip code put you four minutes from Norfolk Naval Shipyard and five minutes from USCG Base Portsmouth. Add a Dunkin' less than a mile out, three parks within a half-mile, and a crabhouse two blocks away, and daily life runs smoothly from this address. The 1995 build means a concrete foundation, modern framing, and systems that are a generation newer than much of the surrounding stock.

SHERIDAN HEIGHTS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Martin Avenue sits in a quiet residential pocket of south Chesapeake, close to the Portsmouth city line. Streets here are lined with single-family homes from the 1980s and 1990s, giving the area a consistent, established feel. Sidewalks and mature trees frame the blocks, and neighbors tend to know each other. Atlantic Avenue Park is just a short walk away, and Cascade Park is under a half-mile. The area draws people who want quick access to the water-adjacent industrial corridor without living in the middle of it. Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area in Virginia, yet this corner of it feels grounded and human-scaled. Getting around is easy — Interstate 464 and Route 17 are both close. Downtown Norfolk is roughly 15 minutes north. The broader city of Chesapeake offers everything from big-box retail to nature trails at the Great Dismal Swamp. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23324 will notice that this zip code offers some of the shortest base commutes in the entire region.

What's nearby

Eddie's Chesapeake Bay Crabhouse & More is 0.2 miles away — a local institution worth knowing. New China and 7five7taste restaurant n lounge are both within 0.3 miles for quick weeknight dinners. Groceries are covered by Mr Food Mart at 0.4 miles, with Super Mart and Dollar General both under a mile. Dunkin' is 0.9 miles out for the morning run. RheuFit gym is just 0.2 miles away. Atlantic Avenue Park, Cascade Park, and Campostella Square Park form a green triangle all within a half-mile of the front door.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about four minutes by car — one of the shortest commutes you will find from any address in Chesapeake. USCG Base Portsmouth adds a second option at five minutes. VA loan financing is common at this price point and in this zip code, and the 1995 build year means the home meets standard VA appraisal conditions without the complications older stock can bring.

For first-time buyers

Three bedrooms and two full baths in a 1995-built home gives you a clean starting point. The layout is efficient at 1,196 square feet — nothing wasted. Parks, grocery options, and restaurants are all within a half-mile, so you are not car-dependent for everyday errands. If you are weighing Chesapeake homes for sale at this size and price tier, this address checks a lot of the practical boxes.
