Why this home stands out
What sets 517 Three Oaks Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,295 square feet across four bedrooms — and an unbeatable position for Coast Guard and Navy households. The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is literally a three-minute drive, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in about fifteen. That kind of dual-base accessibility in a quiet residential setting is genuinely hard to find in this part of Hampton Roads.
CLEARFIELD and the Chesapeake real estate market
Three Oaks Drive sits in a well-established residential pocket of central Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area in the entire country, yet one that manages to feel grounded and neighborhood-scaled at street level. The streets here are lined with homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s, giving the area a mature, settled character: established trees, consistent lot sizes, and neighbors who tend to stick around. Chesapeake is known for its low crime rates relative to the broader Hampton Roads region, its strong civic infrastructure, and a pace of life that leans suburban without feeling remote. You're close enough to Norfolk and Portsmouth to access their dining, culture, and employment corridors, but far enough removed that the evenings are genuinely quiet. For families and working households alike, this part of Chesapeake delivers a practical, comfortable lifestyle without asking you to sacrifice convenience.

Atlas Pizza and China 1 Chinese Restaurant are both 0.7 miles out for weeknight dinners, and a 7-Eleven sits 0.6 miles away for those in-between moments. On the fitness side, Three Ships Collective, CK Cheerleading Club, and TEALL Transformation Yoga are all within half a mile — a genuinely walkable cluster of wellness options for a suburban address.
