224 Wildlife Trce, Chesapeake, VA 23320

Why this home stands out

At 3,273 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths, 224 Wildlife Trace gives you the kind of room that actually changes how you live — space for a home office, a guest suite, or a playroom that doesn't double as a dining room. Built in 2006, the home sits in a residential pocket of Chesapeake where the streets are calm and Great Bridge Lock Park is less than half a mile from your front door.

THE PRESERVE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the Great Bridge corridor — where Wildlife Trace sits — captures a lot of what makes people fall in love with it. This part of the city feels genuinely suburban without feeling remote. You're close enough to Norfolk and Virginia Beach to reach them quickly, but the pace here is decidedly your own. The Great Bridge area carries real historical weight: the Battle of Great Bridge in 1775 helped secure Virginia's independence, and that heritage is still visible at the nearby battlefield park. Buyers searching for homes for sale chesapeake va often land here because the neighborhood balances green space, community character, and practical access in a way that's hard to replicate. Chesapeake sits in its own independent city jurisdiction — no county layer — which shapes everything from infrastructure to local governance. The surrounding streets are a mix of established single-family homes and newer construction, giving the area a layered, lived-in feel rather than a cookie-cutter one.
