Why this home stands out
What sets 545 Etheridge Road apart is the land. A 1.52-acre lot in an established Chesapeake neighborhood is genuinely rare — you get a full-size yard with room to breathe, garden, or simply let the kids and pets run without bumping into a fence line. The 1970 construction means solid bones and generous room proportions, while the Etheridge Meadows address keeps you close to shopping, dining, and two military installations.
ETHERIDGE MEADOWS and the Chesapeake real estate market
Etheridge Meadows is a quiet, established residential pocket in southern Chesapeake — the kind of neighborhood where lots are measured in acres rather than fractions of one. Streets here feel unhurried, and the mature tree canopy that comes with homes built in the 1970s gives the whole area a settled, rooted character. If you've been searching for land for sale chesapeake va, this corridor of Chesapeake consistently delivers the square footage and lot depth that newer subdivisions simply can't match. Chesapeake itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and that geography shows up in the lifestyle — less density, more green space, and a pace that feels genuinely suburban without being remote. The city sits in the heart of Hampton Roads, so you're connected to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the broader region without sacrificing the breathing room that drew you here in the first place.
