Why this home stands out

Built in 2017, this home brings newer construction to Chesapeake homes for sale. Four bedrooms and a full 2.1-bath layout give you real flexibility.

It's the sort of place where you can move in and settle right away.

HOMESTEAD AT BOWERS HILL and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake is Virginia's largest city by land area, blending suburban neighborhoods with working waterfront character. The streets here are tree-lined and orderly, with homes ranging from older cottage-style to newer builds like this one. You're in a part of the city that feels residential and grounded—not isolated, but not dense either. Daily life centers on local shops, restaurants, and the quiet rhythm of a community that's been here a while. Getting around is straightforward: major roads connect you quickly to downtown Norfolk, the shipyard corridor, and the wider Hampton Roads area. If you are comparing homes for sale zoned for Western Branch High School or homes for sale zoned for Southwestern Elementary School, note that this address sits within those boundaries. Chesapeake itself is a working city with deep maritime roots and steady, practical appeal.

What's nearby

Mer'z Family Diner is just 0.4 miles away—close enough for a quick breakfast or lunch run. Frank's Truck Stop and Frank's Restaurant sit at 0.6 miles, both solid casual options. You're in a neighborhood where everyday dining is accessible without a long drive. Errands and a meal out are minutes away, not a production. The area has that convenient, lived-in feel where you know where to go.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is roughly 14 minutes away, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is equally close. A four-bedroom home with modern systems and solid layout works well for a household that needs room and reliability. VA loan financing is common in this area, and the 2017 build means fewer surprises at inspection.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms give you space to spread out—a home office, a guest room, or room for kids to have their own space. The 2.1 baths mean less morning bottleneck than older homes. 2,225 square feet is enough to grow into without feeling like you're heating or cooling wasted space.
