Why this home stands out
What sets 656 Parker Road apart is its combination of generous square footage — 2,820 feet across four bedrooms — and an almost absurdly convenient location. A park is practically in the backyard, groceries are under a mile away, and two military installations are both reachable in under 20 minutes. For a 1993 build in Chesapeake, that's a hard combination to replicate.
CHESHIRE FOREST and the Chesapeake real estate market
656 Parker Road sits in the Great Bridge corridor of Chesapeake, one of the most consistently sought-after pockets in all of Hampton Roads. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, and this part of it — south of the Chesapeake city center, close to the North Carolina border — tends to attract buyers who want space, quiet streets, and low-density living without sacrificing access to services. The neighborhood around Parker Road is established and mature, with tree-lined streets and a residential character that has held steady for decades. Cheshire Forest Park is literally 0.1 miles from the front door, which means green space, walking paths, and room to breathe are part of the daily rhythm here. The broader Great Bridge area carries a strong community identity — local events, a historic drawbridge, and a tight-knit feel that larger suburban zones often lose. Chesapeake's low crime rates and well-maintained infrastructure make it a perennial favorite for families and professionals alike.

Day-to-day life flows easily from 656 Parker Road.

Stonegate Park adds another green-space option at 0.8 miles, and Cheshire Forest Park at 0.1 miles means a morning walk is always within reach.
