Why this home stands out
What sets 227 Wildlife Trace apart is the combination of generous square footage — over 3,000 square feet across five bedrooms — and a location that genuinely delivers on convenience. The Preserve is a well-established Chesapeake community with a quiet residential feel, yet you're less than a mile from groceries, parks, dining, and fitness options. For households that need both space and practicality, this address checks both boxes.
THE PRESERVE and the Chesapeake real estate market
The Preserve is a residential neighborhood tucked into the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the city's most livable corridors. Streets here are lined with homes built primarily in the 2000s, giving the community a cohesive, established character without feeling dated. Neighbors tend to put down roots, and the area has a genuine sense of place. If you've been exploring chesapeake va homes for sale and prioritizing a neighborhood with both scale and stability, The Preserve consistently shows up as a strong contender. Chesapeake itself is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and the Great Bridge section offers some of the best of it — lower traffic density than the northern parts of the city, proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway, and easy access to both the Chesapeake Expressway and Interstate 64. City services, parks, and recreational infrastructure are all well-developed here.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from 227 Wildlife Trace. Food Lion sits just 0.6 miles away for grocery runs, and Great Bridge Lock Park — a scenic spot along the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal — is only 0.7 miles out. For a morning smoothie, KRAVE Juice & Smoothie Cafe is 0.7 miles away, and Oak Grove Meadows Greens offers a relaxed outdoor escape at 0.8 miles. Hungry after a long day? El Toro Loco, Pirate's Cove Restaurant, and America's Hot Buffalo Wings are all within 0.6 miles. Hope Fit VA, a bungee fitness and personal training studio, is right around the corner at 0.6 miles for anyone looking to mix up their workout routine.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is just four minutes from the front door — one of the shortest commutes you'll find for personnel stationed there. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is roughly 14 minutes out, making this address practical for dual-military households or those weighing BAH and VA loan options in the Chesapeake market. Five bedrooms means room for a home office, a guest room, or a growing family without anyone feeling squeezed.
For families upgrading
If your current home has outgrown your family, 3,016 square feet across five bedrooms gives everyone room to spread out. The 0.2-acre lot in The Preserve offers outdoor space without the maintenance burden of a larger property. Great Bridge Lock Park is less than a mile away for weekend mornings, and the neighborhood's established character means you're buying into a community that's already proven itself — not a gamble on a new development.
