Why this home stands out
What sets 528 Belem Drive apart is the combination of square footage and lot size that's genuinely hard to find in this price corridor of Chesapeake. At 3,183 square feet with four bedrooms and three full baths, there's room for everyone to spread out — and the 0.27-acre lot gives you real outdoor space, not just a postage-stamp yard. Three full bathrooms in a 1987 build is a practical advantage that shows up every single morning.
LAS GAVIOTAS and the Chesapeake real estate market
LAS GAVIOTAS is a quiet, established residential neighborhood tucked into the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake — one of the city's most consistently desirable pockets. The streets here are lined with mature trees and well-kept homes from the late 1980s, giving the area a settled, rooted feel that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Neighbors tend to stay, and it shows in the pride of ownership you'll notice block after block. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in Virginia, and the Greenbrier corridor is where a lot of the city's everyday convenience concentrates — shopping, dining, fitness, and parks all within a short drive.

The city sits in the heart of Hampton Roads, with easy access to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the region's major employment centers — all without the density or congestion of living right in the urban core.
