Why this home stands out
Nearly 3,923 square feet across five bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths gives you real breathing room — space for a home office, a guest suite, a dedicated playroom, or all three. Built in 1993, the home carries the solid construction hallmarks of that era: a proper foundation, traditional framing, and room layouts designed for how families actually live rather than how floor plans photograph.
RIVERWOOD and the Chesapeake real estate market
Riverwood Crescent sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, a city that consistently earns recognition for its quality of life, low crime rates, and access to green space. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge anchors the western edge of the city, while the Intracoastal Waterway defines its southern and eastern character. Chesapeake is the second-largest city by land area in the continental United States, which means neighborhoods here feel genuinely spacious — wide lots, mature trees, and streets that aren't stacked on top of each other. The Riverwood area reflects that ethos: established, quiet, and well-maintained. Residents enjoy easy access to both the commercial corridors along Battlefield Boulevard and the more rural stretches that make homes for sale in Chesapeake appealing to buyers who want suburban comfort without the suburban sprawl feel.
What's nearby
The Bowstring Truss Bridge, less than a mile away, is one of those local landmarks that quietly anchors a neighborhood's identity — a historic structure tucked into a park setting that's ideal for a morning walk or an afternoon with the kids. Daily errands are handled comfortably along the Battlefield Boulevard corridor, where groceries, pharmacies, and dining options cluster within a short drive. The broader Chesapeake grid connects you north toward Norfolk and Virginia Beach and south toward the Outer Banks without requiring highway dependence for every trip.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 23 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in roughly 33 minutes — both well within the range most military families target. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than you might expect, and five bedrooms means you're not immediately outgrowing the space when the next PCS brings a bigger household.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and nearly 4,000 square feet is the kind of footprint that stops the upgrade cycle — at least for a long time. There's room for everyone to have their own space, room for guests who actually stay in a real bedroom, and room for the home office that's become non-negotiable. Among homes for sale in Chesapeake, addresses with this combination of size and established neighborhood character don't come around constantly.
