Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means everything — the roof, the systems, the finishes — is fresh from day one. Five bedrooms in under 1,900 square feet is a smart, efficient layout that gives every person in the household their own space without the overhead of a sprawling floor plan. Three full baths means no morning traffic jams. And the location puts you within a single-digit drive of two significant military installations, which is genuinely rare in this part of Chesapeake.
WILMUND PLACE and the Chesapeake real estate market
913 Railroad Avenue sits in a working, walkable corner of Chesapeake — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in Virginia. This part of town has a distinct, community-driven character shaped by a mix of longtime residents and newer families who appreciate the convenience of an urban-adjacent location without paying urban prices. The surrounding blocks have a real neighborhood feel: local restaurants, small businesses, and a park just a short walk away. Chesapeake itself is one of the largest cities by land area on the East Coast, which means you get genuine variety — from rural farmland in the south to busy commercial corridors in the north — all within one city limit. This address lands you in the active, connected northern tier, close to the Elizabeth River, close to Norfolk, and close to the military community that anchors so much of Hampton Roads.
What's nearby
Step outside and daily errands are genuinely close. Tienda Latina Los Angeles is 0.1 miles away for specialty groceries, and Playa Escondida Restaurant and Restaurante Los Angeles are both within a block for a quick dinner. Taco Bell/KFC is 0.2 miles out when you need something fast. Midway Park and Field is a 0.3-mile walk for fresh air and open space. For fitness, USA Boxing, The Fox's Den Kung Fu, and Planet Fitness are all within a mile. La Hacienda Panadería, Rosticeria, Y Mas — about 0.7 miles away — is a neighborhood gem worth discovering on a slow Saturday morning.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Finance Center Chesapeake is six minutes from your front door, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard is seven. For a military household, that kind of proximity to two installations — especially in a brand-new home — is hard to come by. A VA loan can make this 2026-built property even more accessible, and the five-bedroom layout handles PCS moves and growing families without skipping a beat.
For first-time buyers
A newly built home means no deferred maintenance surprises — the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are all starting fresh in 2026. Five bedrooms gives you room to grow, host, or set up a dedicated home office from day one. The walkable block, nearby park, and quick access to Chesapeake's major corridors make this a practical, livable first home in a real community.
