Why this home stands out
Built in 1968, this home carries the solid construction hallmarks of its era — generous room proportions, a practical floor plan, and a lot size that gives you real outdoor space without feeling like a maintenance burden. At just under 1,900 square feet, it hits a sweet spot: enough room for a growing household or a home office setup, without the sprawl that makes utility bills climb.
GEORGETOWN COLONY and the Chesapeake real estate market
Redbrick Drive sits in a quiet, established residential pocket of Chesapeake — one of the largest cities by land area in the United States and consistently ranked among Virginia's most livable communities. The surrounding streets reflect the character of late-1960s suburban development: mature trees, wide lots, and neighbors who have often been around long enough to know each other by name. Chesapeake blends small-town familiarity with genuine urban access. You're close to the waterways and green space that define Hampton Roads living, yet never far from major corridors like Military Highway and Interstate 464 that connect you to Norfolk, Portsmouth, and beyond. The city's mix of working families, military households, and long-term residents gives this part of Chesapeake a grounded, community-oriented feel that newer developments often struggle to replicate.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Grocery runs, pharmacy stops, and quick dinners out are all within a short drive along the Military Highway corridor. Chesapeake City Park — one of the region's largest municipal green spaces — is a short trip away, offering walking trails, sports fields, and open lawn. The Elizabeth River Trail system connects you to waterfront paths stretching into Norfolk and Portsmouth. For coffee or a casual bite, the South Norfolk and Portlock commercial strips are close at hand. Norfolk International Airport is roughly 15 minutes away, making travel logistics straightforward.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about six minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard clocks in at roughly seven — making 404 Redbrick Drive one of the more strategically located addresses in the area for active-duty households. A VA loan can make this kind of proximity even more accessible, and the stable, established neighborhood means you're not gambling on an up-and-coming area during a short tour of duty.
For families upgrading
Three bedrooms and two full baths across nearly 1,850 square feet gives a growing family real room to breathe. The 1968 build means you're getting structural bones that have already proven themselves over decades, and the lot size leaves space for a playset, a garden, or just a proper backyard. Chesapeake's strong community infrastructure makes this a natural step up from a starter home.
