Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means you're the first person to call this place home — no inherited quirks, no deferred maintenance, just clean finishes and modern systems from day one. At 2,044 square feet with three full baths plus a half bath, there's genuine breathing room across three bedrooms. The Western Branch corridor of Chesapeake is an established, walkable pocket, and that combination of brand-new build in a mature neighborhood is genuinely hard to find.
THE GROVE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area in the United States, and the Western Branch section sits comfortably in its northwest corner — a part of the city that feels suburban without feeling remote. Streets here are tree-lined and residential, with a mix of established single-family homes and newer townhome communities that have filled in over the past decade. You're close to the Chesapeake Square Mall corridor, which means retail, dining, and services are all within a short drive or even a short walk. The city itself is known for its low-crime neighborhoods, access to the Great Dismal Swamp, and easy connections to Portsmouth, Suffolk, and the rest of Hampton Roads via Route 17 and I-664. Among Chesapeake homes for sale, a new-construction address in this zip code is a relatively rare find — most of the inventory here is resale from the 1980s and 1990s, which makes 4904 Apricot Way stand out on the map.
What's nearby
Daily errands practically handle themselves from Apricot Way. Subway, Yummy Chinese Restaurant, and Old Bay Seafood are all within a tenth of a mile, so dinner options are genuinely walkable. Gather Cafe and Fruitsplash Factory are right there when you need a morning coffee or an afternoon pick-me-up. Onelife Fitness at Chesapeake Square Gym is just 0.2 miles away, as is National Personal Training Institute if you prefer a more personalized workout. When you want fresh air with your dog or your kids, Western Branch Dog Park is under a mile up the road — a well-used green space that anchors the neighborhood's outdoor routine.
