701 D St, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

Built in 1910, 701 D St carries the kind of bones and room count that newer construction rarely matches at this scale. Six bedrooms spread across 2,962 square feet means genuine flexibility — home office, guest suite, hobby room, and still space left over. The location is the other headline: two minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard makes this one of the closest residential addresses to the gate you'll find anywhere in Chesapeake.

SOUTH NORFOLK and the Chesapeake real estate market

D Street sits in the Berkley-area corridor of Chesapeake, a working waterfront city of nearly 250,000 people that stretches from the Elizabeth River south to the North Carolina line. This particular pocket is one of the city's most practical addresses — close to the shipyard, close to Portsmouth, and connected to downtown Norfolk by the Berkley Bridge. The neighborhood has a no-frills, longtime-resident feel: front porches, flat lots, and neighbors who have been here long enough to know each other's names. Chesapeake as a whole is one of Hampton Roads' largest independent cities, and families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake often discover that the southern neighborhoods offer the shortest commutes to the naval industrial corridor. Johnson Park is two blocks away, and the Elizabeth River waterfront is a short walk in the other direction. Daily life here is straightforward and grounded.
