Meet 2718 Gum Road — a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Chesapeake built in 2005 with 2,856 square feet of living space. Hunter's Cove Park is two blocks away, two grocery stores sit under a mile out, and NSA Northwest Annex is a 12-minute drive.
What sets 2718 Gum Road apart is the combination of generous square footage — nearly 2,900 square feet — and a location that quietly delivers on everyday convenience. You're within a mile of two grocery stores, multiple restaurants, a play café, and a fitness studio, yet the street itself stays calm and residential. For a home built in 2005, the floor plan carries that early-2000s spaciousness that newer builds rarely replicate at this size.
ALL OTHERS AREA 33 and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the western side — where Gum Road sits — tends to attract buyers who want suburban breathing room without sacrificing access to the rest of Hampton Roads. This part of Chesapeake sits in close reach of the Western Branch corridor, where newer retail, dining, and services have filled in steadily over the past two decades. The feel here is quiet and family-friendly: wide lots, established tree lines, and neighborhoods where people actually know their neighbors. Anyone browsing for sale chesapeake listings in this zip code will find that 23321 consistently draws interest from military families, healthcare workers from the Portsmouth medical community, and buyers relocating from the mid-Atlantic region. Chesapeake sits in the independent city jurisdiction — no county layer — which shapes everything from permitting to public services. The city's low-density western neighborhoods offer a noticeably different pace from Norfolk or Virginia Beach while keeping you connected to the entire region via I-664 and Route 17.
What's nearby
Hunter's Cove Park is just 0.2 miles from the front door — an easy walk for an afternoon outside. Grocery runs are straightforward: Walmart Supercenter and Food Lion are both under a mile away in opposite directions, so you're never stuck making a long detour. When you want to eat out, Sal's NY Pizza, El Puente Mexican Grill, and Subway are all within 0.8 miles. Families with young kids will appreciate Little Bean Play Café and FunVille Playground and Cafe, both under a mile out. For fitness, Your Time Fitness and Kelli's Dance Explosion are both close by, giving you real options without a long commute to the gym.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
NSA Northwest Annex is 12 minutes away, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is reachable in about 14 minutes — making 2718 Gum Road a practical fit for dual-military households or anyone assigned to either installation. A VA loan can make this size of home more accessible than many buyers expect, and BAH rates for the Hampton Roads area tend to align well with western Chesapeake pricing.
Room to grow
If you're searching chesapeake city houses for sale because your current home has simply run out of room, 2,856 square feet across four bedrooms gives everyone space to spread out. The half-bath on the main level handles the daily traffic, Hunter's Cove Park is a two-minute walk, and the nearby play cafés and dance studio mean activities for kids are genuinely close — not a 30-minute drive.
