Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means everything — roof, mechanicals, windows, insulation — is built to current code with modern energy standards. With four bedrooms, three full baths, a half bath, and nearly 3,000 square feet, this home offers room to grow without the compromise of an older build. The lot's wooded character gives it a sense of privacy that's genuinely rare in this price tier of Chesapeake homes for sale.
SANDERSON ESTATES and the Chesapeake real estate market
Chesapeake is one of the largest cities by land area on the entire East Coast, and the 23322 zip code sits in its southwestern corner — the Hickory corridor — where suburban comfort meets genuine open space. Streets here tend to be quieter, lots run larger, and the pace feels unhurried compared to the denser neighborhoods closer to the Norfolk border. You're still well inside city limits with full access to Chesapeake's infrastructure, parks system, and services, but the surroundings feel more like countryside than suburb. Families comparing homes for sale in Chesapeake consistently gravitate toward this corridor for exactly that balance. The city itself has invested steadily in western Chesapeake over the past decade — road improvements, park expansions, and commercial growth along the Battlefield Boulevard spine have made this section of the city more self-contained and convenient than it was even five years ago.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from this address. Battlefield Boulevard — the main commercial artery for western Chesapeake — puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and a wide range of dining within a short drive. The Hickory area has its own retail cluster, so you're not always fighting traffic to reach the basics. Outdoor options are plentiful: Northwest River Park, one of the most expansive natural areas in Hampton Roads, is just a few miles away and offers camping, kayaking, and miles of trails. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is also within easy reach for anyone who wants serious nature access on a weekday afternoon.

Four bedrooms and three full baths across nearly 3,000 square feet gives a growing family genuine breathing room — separate spaces for work, play, and guests without anyone feeling squeezed. Built in 2026, the home carries a builder's warranty and modern systems, so the first years of ownership are about living, not fixing. Families weighing homes for sale zoned for Hickory High School and homes for sale zoned for Hickory Elementary School will find this address places them squarely in that attendance zone.
