Why this home stands out
Three acres inside city limits is genuinely rare, and CAROON FARMS delivers exactly that. This 4,387-square-foot home gives you five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread across a floor plan that can flex for large families, multi-generational living, or simply the luxury of room to breathe. The 1984 build era means solid construction bones paired with decades of potential for personalization — a combination that's hard to replicate in newer, tighter subdivisions.
CAROON FARMS and the Chesapeake real estate market
CAROON FARMS sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in the Mid-Atlantic for its blend of suburban calm and genuine convenience. The neighborhood itself is characterized by generous lot sizes, mature tree lines, and a pace that feels distinctly unhurried without sacrificing access to anything you need. Streets here are quiet by design, and three-acre parcels give neighbors natural separation that denser communities simply can't offer. If you've been browsing real estate listings in chesapeake va and wondering where the larger, more private properties hide, this corner of the city is your answer. Chesapeake's infrastructure — roads, utilities, parks, and retail corridors — has grown steadily around neighborhoods like CAROON FARMS, meaning you get the feel of country-style acreage with city-level access just minutes away. The surrounding area skews toward established, owner-occupied households, which lends the whole corridor a stable, rooted quality.
What's nearby
Daily errands are easier than the wooded setting might suggest. Target Grocery is just one mile away, and a Starbucks Coffee Company sits at the same distance for your morning routine. When it's time to eat out, you're spoiled for choice within a single mile: The Barrel Room brings a relaxed, upscale vibe; Perfectly Frank keeps things casual and quick; and Baba's Pizzeria covers the nights when only a great slice will do. All three restaurants are under a mile from the front door, which means weeknight dinners out are genuinely low-effort. This cluster of everyday amenities along a nearby corridor makes the three-acre seclusion feel like a choice rather than a trade-off.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 12 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in about 23 minutes — both well within a practical daily commute. A five-bedroom footprint accommodates growing families through multiple PCS cycles without feeling cramped, and VA loan eligibility can make a property at this scale more accessible than you might expect. BAH rates in the Chesapeake area have historically aligned well with larger single-family homes.
Room to grow
If your current home has you counting square footage and sharing bathrooms, 516 Peaceful RD resets the equation entirely. Five bedrooms and four full baths across 4,387 square feet means everyone — kids, guests, a home office, a playroom — gets their own space. The three-acre lot adds the outdoor dimension that growing families consistently say they wish they'd prioritized sooner. This is the upgrade that stops the search.
