Why this home stands out
Built in 2017, this home sits in the sweet spot between brand-new construction and established neighborhood character. Five full bedrooms give growing households real flexibility — a dedicated home office, a guest room, and still room to spare. At 2,928 square feet, the floor plan breathes without feeling oversized, and the 2.1-bath configuration keeps morning routines moving smoothly for everyone under the roof.
DOMINION MEADOWS and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, and the 23323 zip code sits in its western reaches — a quieter, more spread-out corner of the city where newer subdivisions share space with wetlands and open sky. If you've been browsing real estate listings chesapeake va, you already know this part of town tends to attract buyers who want newer construction without paying a downtown premium. The streets here feel deliberate and unhurried, with wide lots and a suburban rhythm that's easy to settle into. Chesapeake itself offers a full suite of city services, its own court system, and a parks network that leans heavily into its natural landscape. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 664 and Route 17 are both close enough to make commutes predictable, whether you're heading toward the Shipyard, the oceanfront, or anywhere in between.
What's nearby
Daily life is well-supported from Checkerspot Way. A Walmart Supercenter and a Food Lion are both within a few miles, covering routine grocery runs without a long drive. Greenbrier — one of Chesapeake's main commercial corridors — is roughly 15 minutes away and brings a broader mix of dining, retail, and services. For green space, Northwest River Park is a local favorite, offering trails, camping, and paddling access that feels genuinely removed from city life. A handful of casual dining spots and coffee options are scattered along Western Branch Boulevard and nearby shopping centers, keeping everyday errands close to home.
