Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 721 Chatsworth Drive apart is its combination of a four-bedroom floor plan and a half-bath — a layout that gives households real flexibility, whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest room, or growing space for a family. At 1,572 square feet, the home is sized to live comfortably without the overhead of a sprawling property, and the 1987 build era typically brings solid construction with room for personalized updates.

BEECHLAKE ESTATES and the Newport News real estate market

Chatsworth Drive sits in a quiet residential pocket of Newport News — a city that stretches from the James River to the York River and carries a deep maritime and military heritage. This part of Newport News has a settled, established feel: mature trees line the streets, lots are generously spaced, and neighbors tend to put down roots. You're in the northern corridor of the city, which keeps you close to the commercial energy of Jefferson Avenue and Warwick Boulevard without being right on top of it. Newport News is one of the larger independent cities in Virginia, home to a working shipyard, a world-class art museum, and one of the most accessible stretches of the Virginia Peninsula. Daily errands are easy to handle without long drives, and the surrounding street grid connects you to the rest of the Hampton Roads region in a straightforward way. It's the kind of address where you can settle in and actually enjoy where you live.

What's nearby

Everyday conveniences cluster along Warwick Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue, both within a short drive of Chatsworth Drive. Grocery options, pharmacies, and casual dining are all reachable in under ten minutes. Newport News Park — one of the largest municipal parks on the East Coast — is close by, offering trails, picnic areas, and open water. For coffee, local cafés and national chains are both represented in the corridor. The Virginia Living Museum and Newport News Shipbuilding are recognizable landmarks that anchor this part of the city. Interstate 64 access is nearby, connecting you to Hampton, Norfolk, and the broader Hampton Roads metro with ease.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Base Langley-Eustis is nine minutes away from 721 Chatsworth Drive — a commute that makes a real difference in daily life. The Fort Eustis side of the installation is about eighteen minutes out. For service members using a VA loan, this location checks a lot of boxes: four bedrooms, a practical layout, and proximity to both sides of the joint base without paying a premium for it.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown a two- or three-bedroom home, 721 Chatsworth Drive offers that next step up. Four bedrooms and two and a half baths mean everyone gets space — and the half-bath on the main level is one of those features you don't fully appreciate until you have it. The established neighborhood setting adds a sense of stability that growing families tend to value.
