Why this home stands out
Half an acre inside city limits is genuinely rare, and 1309 Oleander Ave sits on 0.512 of them. That lot depth gives you breathing room that most Chesapeake addresses simply can't match — space for a garden, a fire pit, a workshop, or just a backyard that doesn't feel like a postage stamp. Three full bathrooms across 2,073 square feet means nobody's waiting in line on a school morning, either.
NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market
Norfolk Highlands is one of those Chesapeake neighborhoods that quietly delivers on every front. The streets are established and tree-lined, the lots run larger than newer subdivisions, and the community has a settled, unhurried character that newer-construction pockets often lack. When people searching for houses for sale chesapeake stumble onto this pocket, they're often surprised by how much land and elbow room they find compared to what's available elsewhere in the city. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in Virginia, and Norfolk Highlands sits in the northern tier — close enough to Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the shipyard corridor to make commutes genuinely short, yet far enough from the congestion to feel residential. The zip code 23325 puts you at a crossroads of convenience: major roads are accessible without living on one, and the broader South Hampton Roads metro is within easy reach in any direction.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from Oleander Ave. Beasley's Farm is just half a mile out for fresh produce and local goods, and a 7-Eleven sits 0.4 miles away for quick morning coffee or a last-minute stop. Craving something with more flavor? A Taste of the Caribbean is only half a mile away and brings serious island cooking to the neighborhood. Levels Lounge is 0.6 miles out when you're looking for a laid-back evening closer to home. For outdoor time, Plymouth Park is a quick 0.4-mile walk, Blue Heron Landing Park is half a mile away, and Campostella Square Park rounds out your options at 0.8 miles.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is six minutes from the front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is seven. That kind of proximity makes daily base access genuinely low-stress — no long commutes eating into your morning or evening. A VA loan can make financing straightforward, and BAH rates in this zip code typically align well with ownership costs in Norfolk Highlands. Three full baths and a half-acre lot handle the practical demands of an active military household.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's shrinking around you, 1309 Oleander Ave answers back with 2,073 square feet, three full bathrooms, and over half an acre of outdoor space. The 1974 build means solid bones and room sizes that newer construction often trades away for open-plan layouts. Norfolk Highlands has the established, neighborhood feel that growing families tend to gravitate toward — sidewalks, mature trees, and parks within walking distance.
