Why this home stands out
Nearly 5,000 square feet is genuinely rare in this price tier of Chesapeake, and 700 Harbor Quay delivers it across a five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath layout built in 1995 — a vintage that typically means solid construction, mature landscaping, and rooms sized for real furniture. Four full bathrooms across the upper floors means morning routines rarely turn into a negotiation, and a half-bath keeps the main living areas guest-ready.
RIVERWALK and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, and that scale translates into something residents genuinely appreciate: breathing room. The city blends suburban calm with easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro, and the section around Harbor Quay sits in the Great Bridge corridor — one of Chesapeake's most established pockets, known for its mix of waterfront character, tree-lined streets, and a pace that feels deliberately unhurried. Great Bridge itself carries real historical weight as the site of the 1775 Battle of Great Bridge, and that heritage shows up in the area's civic pride and well-kept streetscapes. Commuters here can reach downtown Norfolk, the Outer Banks, or Virginia Beach without fighting through a single tunnel, which is a meaningful quality-of-life detail in a region where tunnel backups are a daily reality for many residents. The Great Bridge area of Chesapeake is the kind of place where neighbors tend to stay for decades.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from 700 Harbor Quay. Battlefield Boulevard runs as the area's main commercial spine, putting grocery stores, pharmacies, and a full range of dining within a short drive. The Great Bridge Lock Park and the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail give outdoor-minded households accessible options for walking, cycling, and kayaking without leaving the city. The historic Great Bridge Battlefield and Waterways History Museum is minutes away for a dose of local history. For larger shopping runs, Greenbrier Mall and the surrounding retail corridor are roughly ten to fifteen minutes north.

The Great Bridge area of Chesapeake has the established, settled feel that families tend to want when they're putting down longer roots.
