304 Centerville Tpke N, Chesapeake, VA 23320

Why this home stands out

Built in 1945, this 780-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath residence carries the kind of solid mid-century construction that outlasts a lot of what came after it. The lot sits along one of Chesapeake's more connected corridors, meaning you get genuine convenience without paying for a larger footprint. For buyers who want low-maintenance living close to the USCG Finance Center and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, the math on size versus location is hard to argue with.

ALL OTHERS AREA 32 and the Chesapeake real estate market

Centerville Turnpike North runs through a well-established stretch of central Chesapeake — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in Virginia. This part of town sits within the broader Hickory area, a community with a grounded, residential feel that's neither sleepy nor overly dense. Neighbors here tend to put down roots; the streets are familiar and the pace is manageable. Chesapeake as a whole offers something rare in Hampton Roads: space. It's the largest city by land area in Virginia, yet it holds onto a neighborhood-scale character that bigger metros lose. You're close enough to Norfolk and Virginia Beach to take advantage of everything those cities offer, but far enough to come home to something quieter. For anyone searching homes for sale in Hickory, Chesapeake, VA, this corridor delivers genuine everyday livability — not just a zip code.
