Why this home stands out
Built in 2020, this five-bedroom home gives you the breathing room that older, smaller homes in the area simply can't match — 3,010 square feet spread across a layout that actually supports how modern households live. Four full baths mean no morning traffic jams, and the bedroom count opens real options for home offices, guest rooms, or multigenerational arrangements. It's the kind of square footage that's hard to find at this vintage in Chesapeake.
CULPEPPER LANDING and the Chesapeake real estate market
Big Bear Lane sits in the western reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast and a community that consistently earns high marks for livability. This corner of the city has a quieter, more suburban feel than the busier corridors to the north, with mature tree lines, wide lots, and a pace that invites you to slow down without making you feel cut off. Chesapeake has invested steadily in parks, road infrastructure, and commercial corridors, so everyday errands and weekend recreation are both well within reach. The surrounding area draws a mix of long-time locals, military families rotating through Hampton Roads, and buyers moving up from smaller homes who want more space without sacrificing proximity to the region's employment centers. Deep Creek and the broader western Chesapeake community have a genuine neighborhood identity — people tend to stay, which keeps the streets familiar and friendly.
What's nearby
Step outside and you're within a mile of two green spaces: Deep Creek Park and Sawyers Mill Park, both roughly 0.8 miles from the front door. That kind of walkable access to open space is a real asset for families with kids, dog owners, or anyone who just wants a place to decompress after work. The broader Deep Creek corridor puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining within a short drive, so daily errands don't require a long haul. And when you want to explore more of Hampton Roads, Interstate 64 and the surrounding highway network keep the wider region accessible.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is about 15 minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is roughly 16 minutes out — making 781 Big Bear Lane a practical choice for service members at either installation. Five bedrooms handle PCS moves with family in tow, and a VA loan can make the financing side of this purchase more straightforward than you might expect.
For families upgrading
If your current home has outgrown your household, 3,010 square feet across five bedrooms and four full baths gives everyone — kids, guests, the home-office setup you've been putting off — a dedicated space. Built in 2020, the systems and finishes are current, which means you're upgrading into the space without inheriting a renovation list.
