Why this home stands out
Built in 2022, this home skips the guesswork that comes with older construction — systems are young, finishes are current, and the bones are tight. At 2,216 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.1 baths, there's genuine room to spread out. The location punches above its weight: two military installations within 15 minutes, a Walmart Supercenter three-tenths of a mile away, and a walkable cluster of local restaurants and fitness studios right outside the door.
CARDINAL MEADOWS and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the western side — where 513 Eldridge Lane sits — has quietly become one of its most practical places to put down roots. The area around zip code 23323 blends newer residential development with everyday conveniences that don't require a highway commute to reach. You're in a part of Chesapeake, Virginia where the pace feels suburban without being remote: strip plazas give way to neighborhoods, and the drive to Norfolk or Portsmouth stays manageable. The city itself carries real appeal — low-density living, a strong sense of community investment, and proximity to the broader Hampton Roads region without the congestion of the Peninsula. Whether you're commuting to a military installation, a downtown Norfolk office, or the Shipyard, this corner of Chesapeake positions you well. The surrounding streets are a mix of established homes and newer builds like this one, giving the area a lived-in feel that's still evolving in good ways.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from Eldridge Lane. A Walmart Supercenter sits just 0.3 miles away, and both Publix Super Market at Dominion Station and Grocery Outlet are under a mile for more options. When you want to eat out, Pho Yeah!, Maple & Marley Breakfast Bar, and Tap It Local are all within two-tenths of a mile — walkable on a good evening. KENSLEY'S Açaí & Café handles your morning coffee at 0.3 miles. For fitness, Tidewater Jiu-Jitsu Academy, Ascend Bungee Fitness, and CrossFit Chesapeake are all within half a mile, so skipping a workout takes real effort.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 10 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is roughly 15. That kind of dual-base proximity is rare and genuinely useful when orders change or a spouse's duty station shifts. A VA loan pairs naturally with a 2022 build — no deferred maintenance, no surprises — and the location keeps commute stress low on both ends.
For families upgrading
Two thousand two hundred sixteen square feet built in 2022 means your family gets modern layouts, current energy standards, and room that actually functions — not a floor plan retrofitted from 1985. Three bedrooms and 2.1 baths give everyone breathing room, and the walkable dining and fitness options nearby mean weekend logistics stay simple even as schedules get busier.
