Why this home stands out
What sets 716 Tallahassee Drive apart is the combination of a generous floor plan — four bedrooms, a half bath on the main level, and 2,340 square feet — in a part of Chesapeake that genuinely delivers on the promise of suburban calm without sacrificing access. The 2004 build year means you're getting a home that predates the cookie-cutter construction surge but still carries modern structural bones. Etheridge Lakes Park sits less than a half mile away, and two military installations are both within a reasonable commute.
ETHERIDGE LAKES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Tallahassee Drive sits in the Hickory area of Chesapeake — one of the city's most consistently sought-after corridors for families who want space, greenery, and a genuine sense of community without the congestion of the Virginia Beach oceanfront. The streets here tend to be quiet and residential, with mature trees lining the sidewalks and neighbors who actually know each other's names. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by area in Virginia, and the Hickory section captures what draws people here: wide lots, low-density development, and proximity to the Great Dismal Swamp corridor that gives the whole region a distinctly green, open feel. For families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake, the 23322 zip code consistently ranks among the most in-demand because it balances suburban livability with practical access to I-664, the Chesapeake Expressway, and the commercial corridors along Battlefield Boulevard.
What's nearby
Etheridge Lakes Park is just 0.5 miles away — a natural first stop for morning walks, weekend picnics, or an after-school wind-down. Groceries are covered by Food Lion a mile out. When you want to eat out, The Spot Family Restaurant and Hotrodders Cafe are both within a mile, and Hotrodders doubles as a coffee stop worth knowing about. Fitness options are genuinely plentiful: Handsprings, Etc is only 0.6 miles away, and CoreForge Pilates and Universal Fitness are each about a mile out — so whether your preference runs toward pilates, strength training, or something more active, you won't have to drive far to find it.
