Why this home stands out
What sets 816 Gene Crescent apart is its rare combination of military-base proximity and everyday convenience packed into a compact, manageable footprint.

SEABOARD ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, and the neighborhood surrounding Gene Crescent sits in the heart of its central corridor — zip code 23320 — where suburban streets give way to quick access to both Interstate 64 and Military Highway. If you've been searching through homes for sale in Chesapeake Virginia, you already know this city rewards buyers who want space without sacrificing urban convenience. The area around Gene Crescent has a lived-in, established feel: mature trees, single-family lots, and neighbors who tend to stay put. Chesapeake carries none of the tourist-town premium you'd pay closer to the Oceanfront, yet it connects you to the broader Hampton Roads metro in every direction. Downtown Norfolk is roughly 20 minutes north, Virginia Beach's Town Center is a similar drive east, and the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is just south for weekend escapes.

Midway Park and Field is a three-minute walk at 0.3 miles, giving you green space without a drive. Fitness options are solid too: Progress Fitness and Violent Hippie Academy are both 0.7 miles out, with USA Boxing another block beyond at 0.8 miles.
