Convenience of city life, quiet and casual living of suburban and country life! Here is where you'll find both... "Chesapeake, Virginia"

Chesapeake today is a thriving, rapidly growing city offering quality of life, excellent schools, many job opportunities, low crime rate, places of worship for all denominations and much more. Chesapeake also provides access to Virginia's fabulous waterways via the Intercoastal Waterway and Elizabeth River, two large shopping malls plus numerous satellite shopping centers that are home to many retailers and restaurants, many city parks and good access to the Interstate highways and the many major military bases throughout the Hampton Roads area.

The opportunity for city and country life all within the city limits of Chesapeake is due, in no small part, to the fact that Chesapeake, as are all the other cities of South Hampton Roads, is its own county. The City of Chesapeake covers 353 square miles and is the second largest city in Virginia and thirteenth largest in the country - area wise.

The southeastern part of Chesapeake that borders North Carolina is a lovely country area commonly known as Hickory. Consisting mostly of farms and small subdivisions where most homes are built on 3+ acres, mini estates and horse properties. This area is much sought after by prospective homebuyers due to the larger lots and country atmosphere. In Hickory you will also discover small waterways that provide fishing and small boating recreation, many treed areas, protected wetlands and a fabulous nature park, Northwest River Park. Horses and other farm animals are a common sight in this part of the city. If you keep your eyes open you'll even see some lamas!
