517 Woodards Ford Road is a substantial 6,073-square-foot, five-bedroom home in Chesapeake's 23322 zip code, built in 1984 on a generous lot.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Six thousand square feet is rare in any market, and 517 Woodards Ford Road delivers that scale in a single-family package that has had four decades to settle into its surroundings. Five true bedrooms, a 3.2 bath count, and a 1984 build year mean you get the bones of a classic, large-format home — the kind of address that turns up when buyers are comparing Chesapeake homes for sale and filtering specifically for space. There is simply not much else at this footprint in the area.

WOODARDS MILL and the Chesapeake real estate market

Woodards Ford Road sits in the Hickory corridor of southern Chesapeake, a part of the city where the lots run generous, the streets stay quiet, and the neighbors tend to stay put. This slice of Chesapeake has a distinctly suburban-rural character — you are far enough from the noise to feel settled, but close enough to Great Bridge and Greenbrier to reach everyday conveniences without a second thought. Chesapeake itself is one of the largest cities by land area in the United States, and that geography shows here: the 23322 zip code carries a pace of life that feels unhurried without feeling remote. City services, well-maintained roads, and a strong sense of community investment make this part of Chesapeake a consistent draw for families who want a long-term address, not just a stepping stone. If you are browsing homes for sale in Chesapeake and prioritizing elbow room over urban density, this corridor consistently delivers.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from Woodards Ford Road. Harris Teeter is under a mile away, handling groceries without a detour. When you want to eat out, the same stretch offers real variety — China Sun, Los Primos Mexican Grill on Hanbury, and Hanaki Sushi are all within 0.9 miles, covering a solid range of cuisines on a single block. CoreForge Pilates, Club Pilates, and The Little Gym of Chesapeake are all nearby if fitness or kids' activities are part of the weekly routine. A 7-Eleven is close for quick stops. The overall picture is a neighborhood that handles the practical side of life efficiently.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 11 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is reachable in about 23 minutes — both without touching a highway interchange at the wrong hour. For a household using a VA loan to maximize purchasing power, a 6,073-square-foot home at this location offers a commute-to-space ratio that is genuinely hard to replicate elsewhere in the region.

For families upgrading

Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Hickory High School and homes for sale zoned for Southeastern Elementary School will find 517 Woodards Ford Road in the mix — and the square footage here gives a growing household room to actually grow. Five bedrooms means dedicated space for everyone, and the 3.2 bath count keeps morning routines from becoming a negotiation.
