Why this home stands out
What sets 817 Doe Run Drive apart is the combination of square footage, lot position, and sheer day-to-day convenience that's hard to match among Chesapeake homes for sale at this size. Four true bedrooms, a half-bath on the main level, and nearly 2,500 square feet give everyone room to spread out — while a Walmart Neighborhood Market, three gyms, and a cluster of local restaurants sit within a half-mile of the front door.
CEDARWOOD and the Chesapeake real estate market
Doe Run Drive sits in the southern reaches of Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast and consistently ranked among the safest in the state. The surrounding streets have the feel of an established suburban neighborhood: mature trees, sidewalk-connected blocks, and a pace that rewards people who want space without sacrificing access. Chesapeake blends quiet residential pockets with serious infrastructure — major employers, well-maintained roads, and proximity to the rest of Hampton Roads without the congestion of the peninsula. The 23322 zip code in particular anchors the Grassfield corridor, a part of Chesapeake that has drawn steady interest from families and professionals alike. If you are comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake, this part of the city offers a grounded, livable quality that newer master-planned communities sometimes trade away for density.
