Why this home stands out
Four and a half acres inside city limits is the headline here. Most homes in this corridor sit on a fraction of that, so 724 Bells Mill Road gives you the breathing room of a rural property without sacrificing the walkable strip of groceries, restaurants, and fitness studios just down the road. The 1955 construction means solid bones and a floor plan that feels lived-in rather than cookie-cutter, and at 1,737 square feet across four bedrooms, every room earns its keep.
PLEASANT GROVE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Pleasant Grove sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, a part of the city where lot sizes still have room to exhale and the pace slows down without feeling remote. The surrounding streets mix long-established homes with newer infill, giving the area a grounded, unpretentious character that attracts people who want space over spectacle. Chesapeake as a whole is one of the most geographically expansive cities in the country, and that scale shows up in chesapeake real estate — you get variety, from dense suburban corridors near the interstate to wide-open stretches like the one 724 Bells Mill Road occupies. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive south, and the broader South Hampton Roads network of highways keeps Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Portsmouth all within reasonable reach. It's the kind of address that feels settled and purposeful.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy here. A Walmart Neighborhood Market is just 0.3 miles away, and a Food Lion sits less than a mile out for a second grocery option. When you're done shopping, the half-mile radius around 724 Bells Mill Road includes Yu-Mi Sushi, Yianni's Neighborhood Pizzeria and Family Restaurant, Local's Burgers and More, and a Starbucks — solid variety for a Tuesday night. Kitty Kingdom Cat Café and Dunkin' cover the coffee spectrum a bit farther out. Fitness is well-represented too, with Orangetheory Fitness and Burn Boot Camp both within 0.6 miles. Kevin Houston Park at Cedarwood, Bells Mill Park, and Cheshire Forest Park are all under a mile, so green space is never far.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about eight minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a straightforward 16-minute drive — making 724 Bells Mill Road a practical base for service members at either installation. A VA loan can stretch further on a property like this, where 4.5 acres and four bedrooms deliver genuine long-term value. BAH rates in the Chesapeake area have historically aligned well with this part of the market.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's closing in, 4.5 acres has a way of solving that. Four bedrooms give everyone a door to close, and the lot offers the kind of outdoor space — gardens, play areas, a future workshop, whatever fits your life — that simply doesn't exist on a standard quarter-acre. Three parks are within a mile, and the neighborhood strip nearby handles the practical stuff without a long drive.
