Why this home stands out
What sets 910 Wickford Drive apart is its rare combination of walkable convenience and quick military-base access in a city that usually asks you to drive everywhere. Groceries, a handful of dining spots, and green space are all within a half-mile, while the USCG Finance Center is literally four minutes away. For a compact 1,000-square-foot home, the location does a lot of heavy lifting.
WICKFORD and the Chesapeake real estate market
910 Wickford Drive sits in Chesapeake, Virginia — one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, yet one that manages to feel genuinely residential rather than sprawling and anonymous. This part of Chesapeake carries a quiet, established character: modest streets, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stick around. You're in the Great Bridge corridor, where the city's history runs deep and the pace of daily life stays manageable even as the broader Hampton Roads metro hums along nearby. Chesapeake consistently draws families and working professionals who want proximity to Norfolk and Portsmouth without paying Norfolk prices or dealing with Norfolk traffic every single day. Parks, local eateries, and practical retail are woven into the fabric here rather than concentrated in a distant shopping center. The city's infrastructure is solid, the roads are well-maintained, and you're never far from Interstate 64 when you need to move across the region quickly.

Oak Grove Park is a half-mile away for morning walks or afternoon fresh air, and Harbour North Park adds another green option at 0.7 miles. CVCA Cheer Gym and Nuleeu Nutrition and Wellness are both within a mile if staying active is part of your routine.
