221 Gertrude St, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

New construction in 2026 means everything — the roof, the mechanicals, the finishes — is starting life fresh with you. Five bedrooms across 3,010 square feet gives you the flexibility most homes simply can't match: a dedicated home office, a proper guest suite, and still room for everyone to have their own space. That's a genuinely hard combination to find at this scale in Chesapeake.

PATRIOTS RIDGE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's most desirable cities to call home, and it earns that reputation the old-fashioned way — through quiet, well-kept streets, easy access to the outdoors, and a community that feels genuinely livable rather than just convenient. The Great Bridge area of Chesapeake, where Gertrude St sits, carries a particular character: established enough to feel rooted, but with enough new development energy that infrastructure and amenities keep improving. You're in the southern part of the city, which means less congestion than the northern corridors while still being well-connected to I-64 and the broader Hampton Roads region. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about 23 minutes away, and the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is a quick 12-minute drive — making this corner of Chesapeake a practical choice for active-duty households. Day-to-day life here moves at a pace that's hard to argue with.

What's nearby

Within a mile of 221 Gertrude St, daily life comes together easily. Pale Horse Coffee in Great Bridge is less than a mile away for your morning routine, and Wawa is just slightly further if you need a quick grab-and-go. Studly Brewing Company, Almighty Meals, and The Stockpot Chesapeake are all within 0.8 miles — so weeknight dinners and weekend hangouts are genuinely walkable. If staying active is part of your routine, the Jazzercise Chesapeake South Hickory Fitness Center is right there at 0.8 miles. This is the kind of walkable daily radius that makes a neighborhood feel like a neighborhood.
