Why this home stands out

With close to 6,900 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, and four and a half baths, this 1992-built home has the scale to accommodate large households, multi-generational living, or simply the luxury of rooms that don't have to do double duty. The lot gives you genuine privacy without sacrificing proximity to shops, commuter routes, or military installations.
GREAT BRIDGE and the Chesapeake real estate market
Great Bridge is one of the most sought-after addresses in great bridge chesapeake va, and for good reason. The area carries a distinct small-town character — tree-lined streets, generous lot sizes, and a pace of life that feels unhurried even though you're well connected to the broader Hampton Roads region. Chesapeake consistently ranks among Virginia's safest and most livable cities, and Great Bridge sits near the heart of that reputation. The neighborhood draws a mix of long-time residents and families relocating from across the country, many of them drawn by the combination of space, quiet, and convenience. Ravenwoods Drive in particular sits on the quieter, more wooded edge of the community, where three-acre parcels give neighbors room to breathe. You're close enough to Battlefield Boulevard to reach anything you need quickly, yet far enough removed that the noise and congestion of a commercial corridor never quite reaches the front door.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Battlefield Boulevard puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and a full lineup of restaurants within a short drive — think under ten minutes for most errands. Greenbrier Mall and its surrounding retail corridor are roughly 15 minutes north when you need a wider selection. For outdoor time, Northwest River Park offers hiking trails, camping, and kayak launches just a few miles south, making it a genuine weekend destination without the road trip. The Great Bridge Battlefield and Waterway Festival grounds are nearby, adding a layer of local history and community events to the calendar. Commuters heading toward Norfolk or Virginia Beach will find I-64 accessible without fighting through the city core.
