Chesapeake Real Estate

Located in the vibrant Hampton Roads region, Chesapeake is the third largest city in Virginia. Sitting in the center of the region, Chesapeake has plenty to see and do whether you're looking to participate in recreational activities or visiting the latest exhibit at a local museum. Chesapeake is the perfect location to experience great living in a friendly and safe environment.

While the area covers more than 350 square miles with over 215,000 residents, much of the region is still wetlands and untouched forests including a large section of the Great Dismal Swamp. Though the swamp alone is rich in history, as it was a hideout for runaway Civil War slaves in addition to having been burned by a large number of wildfires, Chesapeake is made up of many historically significant communities.

With a close-knit feeling about the community of Chesapeake, it´s no surprise why the city is ranked by the FBI as one of the safest cities of its size in the country. Each year, residents, city staff, and police, fire and sheriff´s departments come together in celebration of the region´s birthday at the Chesapeake Jubilee event, only to enhance the bonds and spirit within the community.

Friendly neighborhoods combined with various recreational facilities, such as the Chesapeake Skate Park and the four-time winner of "Best of Chesapeake," Northwest River Park, make this region a desirable location to raise a family. Located within 20 minutes of the Atlantic Ocean, 15 minutes from downtown Norfolk, and 40 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and the Outer Banks of North Carolina, there are plenty of places to see and things to do that everyone can enjoy. Other fun attractions located nearby include the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and the Children's Museum of Virginia. Children attend the schools of the Chesapeake Public Schools system where they acquire the knowledge and aptitude to become lifelong learners.
