Why this home stands out
Built in 2014, this 1,762-square-foot home hits a practical sweet spot: modern construction means tighter energy envelopes, updated mechanical systems, and finishes that don't need immediate attention. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths give you room to spread out, and the half-bath on the main level keeps daily life flowing without the usual single-bathroom bottleneck. It's a well-proportioned layout in a city that continues to attract buyers for good reason.
DEEP CREEK and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake consistently ranks among the largest cities in Virginia by land area, and the 23322 zip code sits in its southern reaches — a part of town that feels genuinely suburban without being remote. The streets here are quiet and residential, with newer construction woven throughout, and the overall pace is unhurried. You're close enough to Norfolk and Portsmouth for a reasonable commute, yet far enough removed that the neighborhood itself stays calm. Chesapeake is known for its low crime rates relative to the broader Hampton Roads region, its strong sense of community, and a local government that invests in parks and infrastructure. For buyers who want the conveniences of a large metro area without the density that usually comes with it, this corner of Chesapeake delivers a genuine quality-of-life balance that's hard to replicate elsewhere in the region.

Staying active is equally convenient — Anytime Fitness, Tidewater Jiu-Jitsu Academy, and Widespread Movement are all within half a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly nine minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about fourteen — making 521 Abelia Way a genuinely practical base for military households. A VA loan can make the numbers work cleanly on a 2014-built home like this, and the location keeps commute stress low whether your orders point north toward Norfolk or stay local in Chesapeake.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home, 2014 construction takes a lot of unknowns off the table — the roof, HVAC, and major systems are relatively young, which means fewer surprise repair bills early on. At 1,762 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, there's real room to grow here. The walkable cluster of grocery stores and restaurants nearby makes the day-to-day feel easy from the start.
