Why this home stands out
What sets 535 Currituck Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage, a sizable lot, and a location that puts grocery stores, restaurants, a gym, and a park all within a mile.

ALBEMARLE ACRES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Albemarle Acres sits in the 23322 zip code of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in the Mid-Atlantic. The neighborhood has a quiet, established feel: mature trees, well-kept yards, and streets wide enough that kids still ride bikes down them. Homes here were largely built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, giving the community a cohesive architectural character without the cookie-cutter sameness of newer master-planned developments. If you've been doing a city of chesapeake property search, you already know how competitive this zip code is — and Albemarle Acres is a big reason why. The surrounding area is genuinely convenient: you're close to the Great Dismal Swamp corridor, minutes from major retail along Battlefield Boulevard, and well-positioned for commutes north toward Norfolk or south toward the Outer Banks. Chesapeake's low density and abundant green space give it a suburban feel, but the infrastructure of a real city is right there when you need it.
