Why this home stands out
Square footage is the headline here — 3,100 square feet across five bedrooms gives this 2003-built home a flexibility most properties in the area simply can't match. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a playroom, a guest suite, or all three at once, the floor plan has room to accommodate real life rather than forcing you to compromise. The half bath adds everyday practicality, and the 21-year-old construction hits a sweet spot between modern building standards and established neighborhood character.
MILLERS RUN and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake's 23323 zip code sits in the western reaches of the city, a quieter, more spread-out corner of Hampton Roads that trades urban density for elbow room and a slower pace. If you've been searching for homes for sale in Chesapeake VA 23323, you already know this area attracts buyers who want larger lots, lower traffic, and a genuine sense of neighborhood without sacrificing access to major corridors. Western Chesapeake connects easily to Portsmouth and Suffolk via Route 17 and the Western Branch Expressway, so commutes stay manageable even when you're far from the city's core. The surrounding streets are a mix of established subdivisions and newer construction, giving the area a layered, lived-in feel. Chesapeake as a whole is one of Virginia's largest cities by land area, and this zip code captures some of its most relaxed, residential character — the kind of place where neighbors know each other and the streets are quiet enough to actually enjoy an evening walk.
