Why this home stands out

At 3,901 square feet, 720 Paula Drive delivers space that is genuinely hard to find at this size in Chesapeake. Five bedrooms means flexibility — a home office, a guest suite, a hobby room, and still have bedrooms left over. The 1979 build era means solid construction with room dimensions that newer tract homes rarely match. Three and a half baths keeps morning routines from turning into a scheduling problem.

KING JAMES COLONY and the Chesapeake real estate market

Paula Drive sits in a quiet, established pocket of western Chesapeake near the Hickory area. Streets here are lined with mature trees and homes that were built to last. Lots tend to be generous, and neighbors have had decades to put down roots. The feel is suburban without being sterile — sidewalks, driveways, and yards that actually get used. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in Virginia. It runs from the Great Dismal Swamp in the west to the Atlantic-facing shore in the east. Daily errands are easy: major retail corridors along Battlefield Boulevard and Cedar Road are within a short drive. Interstate 64 gives you a direct shot toward Norfolk or Virginia Beach. Anyone comparing Chesapeake homes for sale in the Hickory corridor will notice how much more square footage this area delivers per block than newer developments closer to the interstate.

What's nearby

Grocery runs are straightforward — a Food Lion and a Harris Teeter are both within a few miles on Cedar Road. Battlefield Boulevard adds a full lineup of pharmacies, coffee shops, and casual dining. Western Branch Park and the trails along the Northwest River are close for weekend outdoor time. The Northwest River Park itself offers camping, kayak launches, and nature trails that feel a world away from city traffic. Downtown Chesapeake's civic center and library are also an easy drive from Paula Drive.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 16 minutes away. NAS Oceana is roughly 21 minutes in the other direction. VA loan financing is widely used in this zip code, and a five-bedroom floor plan means you are not immediately outgrowing the space after the first PCS. The home's size and established neighborhood make it a strong candidate for buyers using VA loan benefits.

For buyers drawn to character

Homes from the late 1970s in Chesapeake carry a build quality that stands apart. Thick walls, real wood trim, and room proportions that feel intentional rather than squeezed. At 3,901 square feet, 720 Paula Drive has the bones to absorb a full renovation or simply be enjoyed as-is. Buyers who want something with genuine scale — and the character that comes from four decades of solid construction — will find a lot to work with here.
