508 Schaefer Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23321

Why this home stands out

Built in 2018, this home skips the guesswork that comes with older construction — systems, finishes, and structural components all reflect modern building standards. At nearly 2,400 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's genuine room to spread out. The proximity to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth makes it a natural fit for military households, while the broader Chesapeake setting gives everyone easy access to daily life.

HOMESTEAD AT BOWERS HILL and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and that scale works in your favor — you get breathing room, lower density, and a pace that feels genuinely livable without sacrificing access to the wider Hampton Roads metro. The western side of Chesapeake, where 508 Schaefer Ave sits, is particularly well-connected: Interstate 664 and Route 17 are close at hand, making commutes to the naval corridor in Portsmouth and beyond straightforward. The surrounding area is a mix of established residential streets and newer construction, with a community feel that's hard to manufacture. Chesapeake consistently draws families and working professionals who want solid infrastructure, reasonable lot sizes, and a city government that invests in its neighborhoods. It's a place people tend to stay once they arrive.
