221 Gertrude St, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

New construction in 2026 means you're the first family through the door — no deferred maintenance, no dated finishes, no surprises hiding behind the walls. Five bedrooms across 3,010 square feet gives everyone room to spread out, whether that's a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a playroom that actually stays contained. Three full baths means no morning traffic jams. This is the kind of square footage that usually comes with a much older house.

PATRIOTS RIDGE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Gertrude Street sits in the Great Bridge corridor of Chesapeake, a part of the city that manages to feel genuinely suburban without being remote. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means you get elbow room, lower density, and a pace of life that's hard to find this close to Hampton Roads' employment hubs. The Great Bridge area specifically has a tight-knit, established feel — tree-lined streets, nearby waterways, and a community that takes its local businesses seriously. Families comparing Chesapeake homes for sale often land here because the combination of new inventory and mature surroundings is rare. The 23322 zip code covers a broad swath of southern Chesapeake, and Gertrude Street is well-positioned within it — close to South Military Highway's retail corridor but tucked away from the noise.
