2833 Candlewood Cir, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

What sets Candlewood Circle apart is its unbeatable proximity to two major military installations — Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are both under ten minutes away — paired with a surprisingly walkable pocket of Chesapeake where green space and local dining are practically at your doorstep. The 1970 build gives the home solid bones and a floor plan that lives larger than the square footage suggests.

SUNRISE HILLS and the Chesapeake real estate market

Candlewood Circle sits in a quiet residential corner of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in the mid-Atlantic. The surrounding streets have a settled, established feel: mature trees, modest lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stick around. This part of Chesapeake sits close to the Elizabeth River corridor, which means easy access to both Norfolk and Portsmouth without sacrificing the calmer pace of suburban living. Chesapeake itself spans from the Great Dismal Swamp to the Chesapeake Bay, but this zip code puts you squarely in the urban services district — meaning city water, city sewer, and quick response times. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often discover that this section of the city offers one of the shortest commutes to the shipyard while still delivering the neighborhood feel they were hoping to find.
