ABOUT CHESAPEAKE

With a population of 242,000 and counting, Chesapeake is a robust city with 41 constituent neighborhoods and is by far the third largest when it comes to community size in the State of Virginia. Bordering Virginia Beach to the east, the city has become an accessible abode for people who want to live close to the big city but don’t want too much excitement.

Fun Fact #1: Chesapeake gets an average of 211 sunny days a year. The national average is 205.

Though counted as one of the Hampton Roads cities, Chesapeake is relatively landlocked and is defined instead by its pristine lakes, dense forests, and miles of fresh and salt waterways. One such notable waterway that pleasure boaters frequent is the Dismal Swamp Canal, which connects Virginia to North Carolina. Nearby Lake Drummond empties into the 22-mile canal, which flows through the very heart of the Great Dismal Swamp. Tourists who visit during spring or fall might spot the occasional native migratory bird and behold the magnificent colors of foliage during these seasons.

Fun Fact #2: Chesapeake has repeatedly found itself in the FBI’s list of the five safest cities in the nation.

Besides its bountiful natural features, Chesapeake is also popularly regarded as a strategic place to live for people who work in nearby beach towns such as Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth. The median cost of homes in the city is $306,119, which is higher than the national average – but don’t let that scare you. Among its boroughs, South Norfolk, Deep Creek, and the Western Branch are the most residential. They are mostly popular for their relatively low-cost real estate prices despite being just a few miles away from the neighboring cities centers – a perfect scenario for drivers and commuters alike. South Norfolk also hosts the architectural wonder known as the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge. This 2.5-mile marvel that connects Portsmouth and Chesapeake and provides daily travelers an exquisitely scenic view of the Chesapeake Bay Area. 67.46% of dwellings in the city are single property homes, the majority of which are owner-occupied, 3 - 4-bedroom homes.

Fun Fact #3: Many professional athletes hail from or currently live in Chesapeake, including Miami Heat’s Alonzo Mourning, 4-time World Kickboxing Champ Bubba Walters, and NASCAR’s “Iron Man” Ricky Rudd.

Chesapeake has always been a place for families, being so close to developed and growing areas such as Virginia Beach and Suffolk, respectively. It also offers accessible spaces for family recreation such as the Chesapeake Arboretum, also known as “Nature’s Classroom, a 48-acre park that features trails and picnic areas while fostering respect for nature and environmental awareness. Its school district has some great choices over its 48-school lineup and classroom sizes averaging at 15 students per classroom.
