Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a single-family home is genuinely hard to find at this size in central Chesapeake — and Oakbrooke delivers it with nearly 2,800 square feet of interior space on a street that feeds directly into a walkable cluster of parks, gyms, and everyday conveniences. The 1995 build year puts the home in a sweet spot: established construction quality with enough age for mature landscaping and a settled neighborhood feel.

OAKBROOKE and the Chesapeake real estate market

Oakbrooke sits in the heart of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the most livable in the Mid-Atlantic. The subdivision is a well-kept, tree-lined community of single-family homes built primarily through the 1990s, giving it that comfortable, established character you notice the moment you turn onto the street. Neighbors tend to stay for years, and the streets stay quiet without feeling remote. If you've been browsing chesapeake va real estate and wondering where the value-to-lifestyle ratio actually holds up, Oakbrooke is a neighborhood worth putting on your short list. Chesapeake itself offers low property tax rates compared to neighboring cities, no city income tax, and a city government known for infrastructure investment. The broader Great Bridge and Greenbrier corridors — both minutes away — add retail depth, medical offices, and dining options that most suburban neighborhoods can only dream about.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from 716 Firethorn Road. Oak Grove Meadows Greens and Oakbrooke Park are both within 0.2 miles — perfect for morning walks or an after-dinner stroll. Food Lion is 0.4 miles out, with a Walmart Neighborhood Market just 0.7 miles away for backup runs. IHOP, Pizza Twist, and KRAVE Juice & Smoothie Cafe are all clustered within 0.4 miles for quick meals and post-workout smoothies. Speaking of workouts, Hope Fit VA (Bungee Fitness and Personal Training), Fit Fusion, and Chesapeake Hot Yoga give you three distinct fitness options within a mile. A 7-Eleven and McDonald's round out the close-range convenience.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly three minutes away — about as close as a commute gets without living on base.

VA loan eligibility makes a five-bedroom home in Oakbrooke a strong fit for service members looking to put down roots in Chesapeake without stretching a BAH budget thin.

Whether that extra space becomes a home office, a dedicated playroom, or a guest suite for visiting family, Oakbrooke's layout gives you genuine flexibility. Two parks within 0.2 miles and a grocery store under half a mile away make the everyday logistics of a busy household noticeably lighter.
