Why this home stands out
With more than 5,300 square feet on a single address, 709 Forest Mills Road delivers the kind of interior scale that's genuinely rare in this part of Chesapeake. Four full bathrooms across four bedrooms means no one is waiting in line in the morning. The 1994 build year puts it in a sweet spot — substantial construction with enough age to carry real character, yet modern enough to avoid the headaches of truly vintage homes.
WOODARDS MILL and the Chesapeake real estate market
Forest Mills Road sits in the 23322 zip code of Chesapeake, a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in Virginia. This corner of Chesapeake feels deliberately unhurried — wide lots, mature tree lines, and the kind of residential quiet that's harder to find closer to the water. If you've been browsing homes for sale in Chesapeake Virginia, you'll notice this zip code draws buyers who want space without sacrificing access to the broader Hampton Roads metro. Chesapeake itself spans nearly 353 square miles, and the southern reaches around 23322 offer a suburban pace with city-level infrastructure: maintained roads, reliable utilities, and proximity to major corridors like Battlefield Boulevard and Interstate 64. The neighborhood around Forest Mills has a settled, established feel — the kind of street where neighbors recognize each other and the landscaping has had decades to mature.
What's nearby
Centerville Park is less than a mile away at 0.9 miles, making it a realistic walk or a very short drive for morning runs, weekend picnics, or letting kids burn off energy after school. Battlefield Boulevard — one of Chesapeake's main commercial spines — puts grocery stores, pharmacies, coffee shops, and restaurants within a few minutes in either direction. The broader Greenbrier and Hickory corridors add additional retail depth without requiring a highway trip. For commuters, Interstate 64 access keeps the wider Hampton Roads region well within reach.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly 12 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a manageable 24-minute drive. For military households, that kind of dual-base accessibility matters — especially when one partner's orders could shift. A VA loan can stretch further on a property this size, and 5,383 square feet gives you real flexibility for a home office, a guest room for visiting family, or a dedicated space to decompress after long duty days.
For families upgrading
If your current home has everyone bumping into each other, 709 Forest Mills Road is the answer. Four bedrooms and four full baths across 5,383 square feet means kids get their own space, parents get their own space, and there's still room left over for a playroom, a study, or whatever your household actually needs. Centerville Park nearby and the quiet residential character of the 23322 zip code make this the kind of address families tend to stay in for the long haul.
