Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

The layout here is thoughtfully designed with seven distinct bedrooms—enough for a home office, guest quarters, or hobby space alongside sleeping areas. Four full bathrooms mean mornings run smoothly. You'll find the kind of square footage and room count that anchors homes for sale in 23322, paired with a 1970s structure that's proven its durability over decades.

KING JAMES COLONY and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake is Virginia's largest city by land area, a blend of suburban neighborhoods, open countryside, and waterfront communities. The streets here feel established and quiet, with mature trees and properties that reflect the area's steady residential character. You're in a zone where homes for sale in Chesapeake tend to offer more land and breathing room than you'd find closer to the urban core. Getting around is straightforward—major roads like Route 17 and Route 168 connect you to shopping, dining, and services throughout the city. The military presence shapes much of the region's rhythm, with NAS Oceana and other installations nearby. Schools and parks are woven into the fabric of daily life. Chesapeake itself is a place where you can enjoy suburban comfort without feeling hemmed in.

What's nearby

Route 17 runs nearby with easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining. Several parks within a short drive offer playgrounds, walking trails, and open green space for weekend outings. Shopping centers and big-box retailers are about 10 minutes away. The Intracoastal Waterway and local boat ramps put water recreation within reach for anyone interested. Medical facilities and urgent care are scattered throughout Chesapeake, typically 5–10 minutes away by car.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

About 17 minutes to USCG Finance Center Chesapeake and 21 minutes to NAS Oceana puts this address in a practical commute range for active-duty and civilian personnel.

Room to grow

Seven bedrooms give you the flexibility to grow into the space—master suite, multiple guest rooms, a dedicated office, or hobby areas all fit comfortably. Four bathrooms ease the morning routine and reduce bottlenecks. The 3,786 square feet and generous lot provide room to add storage, expand outdoor living, or simply enjoy elbow room that smaller homes can't match.
