Why this home stands out
At 3,200 square feet, 816 Forest Lakes Circle gives you the kind of square footage that actually changes how a household functions — dedicated space for a home office, a guest suite, or a playroom without anyone feeling squeezed. Built in 1991, the home carries the solid construction hallmarks of that era while sitting in a mature, tree-lined Chesapeake neighborhood where the lots have grown into themselves and the streets feel genuinely settled.
FOREST LAKES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Forest Lakes Circle sits within Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most family-friendly in the Mid-Atlantic. This part of Chesapeake, in the 23322 zip code, is characterized by established residential subdivisions, generous lot sizes, and a pace of life that feels deliberately unhurried. Mature trees line the streets, neighbors tend to know each other, and the overall character skews toward long-term residents who chose the area intentionally. Chesapeake itself is the second-largest city by land area in the entire state, which means green space, parks, and elbow room are woven into everyday life rather than being a weekend destination. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge sits to the west, and the city's network of trails and waterways gives outdoor enthusiasts plenty to explore without leaving city limits. It's a place where suburban convenience and genuine open space coexist — and that balance is hard to find anywhere else in Hampton Roads.

Battlefield Golf Club is nearby for weekend rounds, and the Western Branch area offers additional dining and service options. Interstate 64 and the Chesapeake Expressway are both accessible, making trips to Virginia Beach, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, or downtown Norfolk straightforward on any given day.
