509 Southfield Dr, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

What sets 509 Southfield Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,600 feet across four bedrooms — and a location that puts you squarely in one of Chesapeake's most walkable pockets. Three gyms, three coffee spots, and multiple dining options are all within a half-mile, yet the street itself has the calm, established feel of a neighborhood that's been well-loved since 1972. That balance of energy and quiet is harder to find than it looks.
