Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms is the headline, but the floor plan is the real story. With three full baths and over 3,000 square feet, there's genuine flexibility here — dedicated space for a home office, a guest suite, a playroom, or all three at once. The 2005 build means you get a modern layout without the quirks of older construction, and the 0.2-acre lot gives you an actual yard without the upkeep of a sprawling property.
THE PRESERVE and the Chesapeake real estate market
The Preserve is a well-established residential community tucked into the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake — a part of the city that feels genuinely suburban without being remote. Streets here are quiet and tree-lined, and the neighborhood draws a mix of military families, long-term residents, and buyers relocating from across Hampton Roads. If you've been searching chesapeake homes for sale and wondering which pocket of the city delivers the best balance of space, access, and community feel, this part of Chesapeake makes a compelling case. The Great Bridge corridor puts you close to the Elizabeth River, the historic Great Bridge Lock, and a solid lineup of everyday conveniences — all without fighting the congestion you'd find closer to Norfolk or Virginia Beach. Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's safest and most livable cities, and the Great Bridge section in particular has a strong sense of neighborhood identity that newer developments often struggle to replicate.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from 312 Wildlife Trace. Food Lion is half a mile away for your weekly grocery run, and Dollar General is just a bit further for quick fill-ins. When you'd rather let someone else cook, Pirate's Cove Restaurant, El Toro Loco, and Americas Hot Buffalo Wings — open 24 hours — are all within half a mile. KRAVE Juice & Smoothie Cafe is your morning stop if you want something beyond the basics, and McDonald's and 7-Eleven are right there for faster options. Hope Fit VA and CVCA Cheer Gym are both under a mile for fitness. Oak Grove Meadows Greens and Great Bridge Lock Park round out the outdoor options nearby.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is four minutes away — it doesn't get more convenient than that for Coast Guard personnel. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a straightforward 14-minute drive for Shipyard-assigned families. Five bedrooms means room for everyone, and a VA loan can make this size of home more accessible than many buyers expect. BAH rates for the Chesapeake area have historically supported this price range well.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you playing musical chairs with bedrooms, 312 Wildlife Trace solves that problem. Five bedrooms and three full baths means no one is sharing a bathroom they don't want to share, and 3,065 square feet gives the whole family room to coexist comfortably. The 0.2-acre lot is sized right for a trampoline, a garden, or a fire pit setup — practical outdoor space without overwhelming weekend maintenance.
