Why this home stands out
What sets 824 Sparks Trace apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a location that keeps daily life low-effort. Five bedrooms give you the flexibility to spread out, host guests, or carve out a dedicated home office — or two. At just over 3,100 square feet, there's room to grow into this house rather than outgrow it quickly. Add a park literally down the street and a farm market under a mile away, and the everyday routine becomes surprisingly pleasant.
ETHERIDGE LAKES and the Chesapeake real estate market
824 Sparks Trace sits in the Greenbrier corridor of Chesapeake, one of the most consistently popular pockets in all of Hampton Roads. Chesapeake is Virginia's second-largest city by land area, which means you get suburban breathing room without sacrificing access to shops, restaurants, and major employers. The surrounding streets are a mix of established single-family homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s, giving the area a settled, mature feel — mature trees, wider lots, and neighbors who tend to stick around. Greenbrier itself functions almost like a small town within the city: a dense cluster of retail, dining, and services that residents can reach without ever hopping on the interstate. The broader zip code, 23322, consistently ranks among Chesapeake's most sought-after for families and professionals alike, and it's easy to see why once you spend a few days here.

Fresh produce and local goods are covered by 3W's Farm Market, less than a mile from the front door. You're genuinely close to everything that makes a neighborhood feel livable without feeling crowded.

For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is roughly nine minutes away, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard clocks in at about 21 minutes — both well within the commute range most service members aim for.

For families upgrading
If you've been in a three-bedroom and the walls are starting to close in, 824 Sparks Trace answers that problem directly.
