540 Aylesbury Drive is a four-bedroom, two-bath single-family home in Chesapeake's 23322 zip code, built in 1986 and offering 1,602 square feet of living space on a quiet residential street with quick access to both USCG and Navy installations.
What sets 540 Aylesbury Drive apart is its combination of a four-bedroom floor plan and a location that keeps two major military installations within easy reach — USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly nine minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about twenty-one. For a 1,600-square-foot home built in the mid-1980s, the bedroom count gives you real flexibility whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest room, or space for a growing household.
ETHERIDGE MEADOWS and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the 23322 zip code sits in its southern reaches — a part of the city that trades urban density for wider lots, quieter streets, and a genuine suburban pace. The Aylesbury Drive corridor feels established without feeling dated; the tree lines are mature, the roads are calm, and neighbors tend to put down roots here for the long haul. If you've been searching chesapeake homes for sale 23321 and found yourself drifting into the neighboring 23322 zip, you'll recognize the same character — solid residential streets, proximity to retail and dining corridors along Hanbury Road, and easy southward access toward the North Carolina border or northward toward the Norfolk metro. Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's safest and most livable cities, and this pocket of it reflects exactly why that reputation holds.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are handled without much effort from Aylesbury Drive. A 7-Eleven sits under a mile away for quick stops, and China Sun offers a reliable dinner option at the same distance. Los Primos Mexican Grill on Hanbury is just a mile out when you want something with a little more flavor. For fitness, both CoreForge Pilates and Club Pilates are within a mile, so staying active is genuinely convenient. Etheridge Lakes Park, also about a mile away, gives you a green-space option for weekend walks or an afternoon outside without loading up the car.
