Spacious suburban living, top-rated schools, and easy commutes to every major military installation in Hampton Roads.
Chesapeake is an independent city in South Hampton Roads, formed in 1963 and now the second-largest city in Virginia by area, with a population of over 222,000. It offers the breathing room that many Hampton Roads buyers are searching for - wide lots, newer construction, and quiet suburban streets that feel a world away from the city rush. Chesapeake is remarkably diverse in landscape, with protected farmland, forests, and wetlands including the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway right in residents’ backyard.
For military families, Chesapeake hits a rare sweet spot: affordable home prices, strong school districts, and easy commutes to Naval Station Norfolk, NAS Oceana, and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek. Neighborhoods like Greenbrier and Grassfield offer move-in-ready new construction, while Great Bridge and Western Branch provide established communities with mature trees and strong resale values. Bloomberg Businessweek once named Chesapeake the 21st best city in the United States - and residents will tell you it has only gotten better since.
Judy Reed has worked with buyers across every corner of Chesapeake, from the waterfront charm of Great Bridge to the newer subdivisions of Grassfield and the established feel of Western Branch. She understands how each neighborhood fits a different lifestyle and budget, and she has helped countless families find the right fit - whether that is a newer build near top-rated schools or a well-priced resale in a quieter pocket of the city.
