Why this home stands out
Built in 2023, this home skips the renovation guessing games entirely. You're getting five true bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 3,100 square feet of space that was designed with today's floor-plan expectations in mind — open sight lines, adequate storage, and the kind of structural integrity that only comes with new construction. The half-bath on the main level is a small detail that makes a real difference when you're hosting.
ALBEMARLE RIVER and the Chesapeake real estate market
Albemarle River is one of Chesapeake's newer planned communities, and it shows — the streets are clean, the landscaping is intentional, and the homes reflect a consistent, contemporary aesthetic that gives the whole neighborhood a cohesive feel. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in Virginia, and that scale translates into breathing room you simply don't find in denser Hampton Roads cities. If you've been browsing houses for sale in Chesapeake, you already know the city's reputation: low crime relative to the region, strong infrastructure investment, and a genuine mix of suburban comfort and outdoor access. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge sits on the city's western edge, and the Chesapeake Arboretum is a short drive away for anyone who values green space close to home. Albemarle River sits in the 23320 zip code, which places you squarely in the heart of the city — close to major corridors without being on top of them.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from Kitson Court. Greenbrier Parkway is minutes away and carries virtually every grocery, pharmacy, and big-box retailer you'd need on a regular basis. The Greenbrier area also has a solid lineup of casual dining — think everything from quick lunch spots to sit-down dinners without a long drive. For coffee before work, several independent and chain options are clustered nearby. Chesapeake City Park offers walking trails, athletic fields, and open green space just a short trip from the neighborhood. Interstate 64 access is close, which keeps Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the broader Hampton Roads network well within reach on any given day.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly five minutes from the front door — one of the shortest base commutes you'll find in the region. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about 17 minutes out, making this address a strong fit for dual-military households or anyone weighing BAH against the cost of a newer home. A VA loan pairs naturally with a 2023 build, since there are no deferred-maintenance surprises to negotiate around.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms in a 2023 build means you're not carving up space to make the numbers work — the layout was designed for it. There's room for a dedicated home office, a guest room that actually functions as one, and kids' rooms that don't require a coin flip. Albemarle River's neighborhood character skews toward families at a similar life stage, which tends to make for an easier social fit from day one.
