Why this home stands out
Built in 2012, this 2,203-square-foot home hits a practical sweet spot — enough room for a growing household without the upkeep burden of an older property. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths give everyone their own space, and the layout supports real daily life: morning routines, work-from-home setups, and weekend gatherings alike. Chesapeake's lower property tax rate and lack of a city income tax add quiet financial advantages that compound over time.
EAGLE POINTE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and that scale translates into something residents genuinely appreciate: room to breathe. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge anchors the western edge of the city, while the newer suburban corridors along Battlefield Boulevard and Interstate 64 keep daily errands fast and friction-free. The area around 526 Strathmore Lane sits in the southern Chesapeake corridor — a part of the city that grew steadily through the 2000s and 2010s, producing well-maintained streets, consistent sidewalk infrastructure, and a neighbor demographic that skews toward working families and military households. You're far enough from the urban core to feel suburban, but close enough to Norfolk and Portsmouth to tap into their dining, arts, and waterfront scenes without a long commute. Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's safest large cities, and the combination of newer construction stock, accessible retail, and highway connectivity makes this zip code — 23322 — one of the more quietly desirable addresses in Hampton Roads.

Daily errands essentially solve themselves from Strathmore Lane. A Walmart Supercenter, ALDI, and Grocery Outlet all sit within 0.9 miles, so a last-minute grocery run never becomes an ordeal. When you want to eat out, Wolf Den Grill, Maple & Marley Breakfast Bar, and Pho Yeah! are each about 0.7 miles away — a solid rotation for weeknight dinners or slow weekend mornings. Coffee is covered by KENSLEY'S Açaí & Café and Dunkin', both under a mile out, with a 7-Eleven rounding things out at 1.0 mile. Fitness options are genuinely varied: Tidewater Jiu-Jitsu Academy, Widespread Movement, and Ascend Bungee Fitness are all within 0.8 miles.
