737 Bedford St, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Why this home stands out

Nearly four acres in southern Chesapeake is genuinely hard to come by. Most parcels in this corridor have already been subdivided into tight residential lots, which makes 737 Bedford Street stand out among homes for sale in 23322 — it's one of the rare sites where you can plan a custom home, a workshop, a barn, or simply a property with real breathing room between you and your neighbors. The land sets the stage; you decide what goes on it.

ALL OTHERS AREA 32 and the Chesapeake real estate market

Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the southern reaches — where 737 Bedford Street sits — feel nothing like the denser suburbs closer to Norfolk. This is the part of Chesapeake where horse farms and working fields still share the road with newer construction, where lots are measured in acres rather than square feet, and where the pace of daily life slows down noticeably. The ALL OTHERS AREA 32 designation covers a broad swath of this southern corridor, a patchwork of agricultural land, rural residential parcels, and the occasional small farm that gives the area its character. Chesapeake as a whole offers the full infrastructure of a major Virginia city — solid road networks, city utilities in many areas, and proximity to the Hampton Roads metro — while this particular pocket keeps the rural feel intact. Families comparing Chesapeake homes for sale often end up here when they realize how much land value they can get relative to the rest of the region.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are closer than the rural setting might suggest. Brookdale Farms is just half a mile away — a local staple for fresh produce and farm goods that fits naturally into life on an acreage property. Bergey's Breadbasket, a well-regarded local restaurant, is six-tenths of a mile out and makes for an easy weekday lunch or a casual dinner without a long drive. For larger grocery runs, hardware needs, or medical appointments, the commercial corridors along Battlefield Boulevard and Route 17 are within a reasonable drive. The surrounding area rewards the kind of lifestyle where you value open space close to home and keep the conveniences of the city accessible when you need them.
