Why this home stands out
What sets 3725 Cornland Road apart is the scale. At 4.87 acres, you're not buying a lot — you're buying options. Bring a custom home plan, a hobby farm, a workshop compound, or a long-term land hold. Pleasant Grove sits in a part of Chesapeake where large parcels rarely come available, and the surrounding landscape still feels open and unhurried rather than subdivided and squeezed.
PLEASANT GROVE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Pleasant Grove is one of those Chesapeake neighborhoods that earns loyalty quietly. The streets run through a landscape that still has room to breathe — mature trees, generous setbacks, and the kind of low-traffic pace that makes a four-acre parcel feel like a natural fit rather than an outlier. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in Virginia, and that size translates into genuine variety: walkable town centers, deep rural pockets, and everything in between. The 23320 zip code lands you in the heart of that mix — close enough to reach South Norfolk, Greenbrier, and the Great Bridge corridor quickly, but far enough out that you're not hemmed in. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often land here once they realize how much land they can get without sacrificing access to the rest of Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Groceries, hardware, and everyday errands are covered within a short drive along Battlefield Boulevard and the Greenbrier corridor — think major grocery chains, home improvement stores, and a wide range of dining. The Great Bridge area adds waterfront dining and a historic lock park. Chesapeake City Park, one of the largest municipal parks in Virginia, is close by with trails, sports fields, and open green space. For commuters, Interstate 64 and Route 168 both connect quickly from this part of 23320, making the broader Hampton Roads metro easy to navigate.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 20 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard sits about 26 minutes out — both manageable for daily commutes. A VA loan can be used to purchase land when construction financing is paired with it, so active-duty and veteran buyers should ask their lender about combined land-and-build options. Acreage like this rarely surfaces at this distance from base.
