Why this home stands out

Lake Meade Drive offers something that is harder to find in Suffolk than you might expect: a quiet residential street with easy access to both the city's commercial corridor and the military installations that anchor this part of Hampton Roads. The 1997 build means the bones are solid without the quirks of an older home. Three bedrooms and two full baths in 1,760 square feet is a layout that works for a wide range of buyers.

ALL OTHERS AREA 62 and the Suffolk real estate market

The Lake Meade Drive area sits in the 23434 zip code, one of Suffolk's most established residential pockets. Streets here are lined with single-family homes from the 1990s and early 2000s, giving the area a consistent, settled feel. Lots tend to be generous by Hampton Roads standards, with mature trees providing shade in the warmer months. The neighborhood is quiet without feeling remote — you are never far from Route 58 or the Harbour View corridor. Suffolk itself is Virginia's largest city by land area, and that space translates into a slower pace without sacrificing convenience. Downtown Suffolk has its own personality, with local restaurants, a farmers market, and a historic main street. Getting around is straightforward whether you are heading toward Chesapeake, Portsmouth, or deeper into the Tidewater region. Anyone browsing homes for sale in 23434 will notice that this part of Suffolk balances affordability with room to breathe.

What's nearby

Sleepy Hole Park is close by and offers walking trails, a golf course, and open green space along the Nansemond River. Joint Staff J7 Suffolk is roughly 8 minutes away. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is reachable in about 41 minutes via I-664.
