2213 Haywood Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

What sets 2213 Haywood Avenue apart is the combination of generous square footage for a mid-century build and an almost unbeatable proximity to two major military installations. At over 2,200 square feet, you get real room to spread out — more than most comparable homes in this price tier — while still being a short drive from Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth. That's a rare pairing.

ARDMORE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Haywood Avenue sits in a quiet residential pocket of western Chesapeake, Virginia, close to the border with Portsmouth. The surrounding streets carry the unhurried character of a mature, established neighborhood — sidewalks, shade trees, and homes that have been part of the community for decades. Chesapeake itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, yet this corner of it feels genuinely local and grounded. You're away from the congestion of the more commercial corridors, but everyday conveniences are still close by. The city's mix of suburban calm and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro makes it a consistent draw for families and working professionals alike. For anyone connected to the military installations along the Elizabeth River, the western Chesapeake location puts you squarely in the middle of a very manageable commute zone.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy here. A Walmart Supercenter is less than two miles away for full grocery runs, and several smaller convenience and dollar stores are even closer. The Churchland area along George Washington Highway offers a solid lineup of fast-casual dining, pharmacies, and service businesses. Hoffler Creek Wildlife Preserve is a short drive east for trail walks and waterfront access. Downtown Portsmouth's waterfront dining and the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center are both within ten minutes, and Interstate 664 gives you a direct path to Suffolk, Hampton, and beyond.
