    I have lived here almost 5 years even though as a traveling tradesman I could move every year to the best location I could find. However I cannot find anything better. What's so great about this particular location compared to other gated communities ? First, this place is located on a quiet back road behind a big hospital. Nurses and doctors use our quiet street for exercise and lunch time walks. I dare you to find something of this caliber that doesn't have traffic on all four sides. Second, safety. I work varied shifts and I exercise at odd hours, sometimes at 3 am, sometimes at midnight. I have walked around the area outside and inside the gated community and there has never been a safety issue except for a loud Friday night party literally once a year. I have sat numerous times in the chairs around the pond in the middle of the night, fallen asleep and woke up an hour later to find my phone and my IPad still in my lap. I have received literally hundreds of Amazon and other packages some of them visibly expensive, at my front door and except for a mistaken delivery of a neighbors package once , not a single one has gone missing in almost five years The management takes safety and our well being seriously. Third, aesthetic appeal. The grounds are kept very clean, everything is maintained and any maintenance requests are answered promptly. I even have cell phone numbers of some staff members for emergencies? Who does that? Nobody. And last but most important, the staff. I don't care how posh your location is, if your staff is subpar, your place falls apart. Weeds, trash, broken grills, chairs and gates. You will not find that here. These people make their business not only to keep the place in top shape, they also make interactions very professional and pleasant. I know everyone in the office by their names. Mr Joe, Mr Gerald take care of maintenance and Ms Tony works in the office and shows the property to clients. Ms Mary is the office manager. I love it here.

    This is the best property in Chesapeake Virginia. I fall asleep sitting by the lake at three am and I wake up and my phone and my book are still there. Quiet, peaceful in a city of 300 thousand. You will NOT find a better gated community in this town, period.

Living in Chesapeake, VA

Living in location

Chesapeake is a mid-sized city located in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Although the city wasn't incorporated until the 1960s, the area was originally settled in the 17th century and many historic sites and attractions are still nearby. While the military doesn't have a presence in Chesapeake, there is a large port and naval base in nearby Norfolk. As a result, many Chesapeake renters are employed in the military and defense sectors. Many renters in Chesapeake are also drawn to the city for its beautiful outdoor scenery. To that end, the Elizabeth River runs directly through the center of the city, and boating is a popular activity among renters here. Meanwhile, the southern half of Chesapeake is mainly rural and contains many parks and wildlife preserves. There are also many golf courses in the surrounding area, and the Chesapeake Arboretum is another popular attraction among local renters.

Additionally, Chesapeake is known for its strong sense of community and family-friendly atmosphere. Educational opportunities abound with a range of public and private schools, complemented by the Chesapeake Public Library system's extensive resources. For renters seeking a peaceful retreat within city limits, the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge offers a unique landscape of rich biodiversity, perfect for weekend hiking and photography. Living in Chesapeake means embracing a lifestyle where tradition and modernity harmoniously coexist.

Renting in Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake consists of many small neighborhoods that were incorporated into one city in the 1960s. As a result, Chesapeake does not have a designated downtown area. Instead, it has a variety of suburban residential neighborhoods interspersed with commercial districts. There are also some rural neighborhoods in southern Chesapeake. Notably, most rental properties are not in walkable areas, but they do have plenty of outdoor space. There are even some rental properties that are located directly on the water in Chesapeake. Specifically, rental properties in Chesapeake consist mainly of spacious low-rise apartment complexes, as well as many single-family homes. And, while you'll find a variety of architectural styles in Chesapeake rentals, many properties have details that reference the city's colonial-era history. Overall, the city is very quiet and safe, which makes it a particularly popular choice among families, although you'll find renters of all ages here. In general, rental costs in Chesapeake are higher than in nearby Norfolk or Portsmouth, although they are lower than in Virginia Beach.

Things for renting

Shopping in Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake is home to one of the largest malls in the Hampton Roads region - the Greenbrier Mall. Here, renters will find popular department stores, like JCPenney, Dillard's, Macy's, and Dick's Sporting Goods, as well as big-box stores, like Target, Walmart, Sam's Club and more. In addition to all of the shopping options, this area is also a popular dining and entertainment district for local renters. And, renters in Chesapeake's Western Branch neighborhood will also enjoy close proximity to the Chesapeake Square Mall. This mall is smaller than the Greenbrier Mall, but still offers a similar selection of department stores and other chains. Local renters also have no shortage of grocery options here, including Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart Neighborhood Market and more.

Transportation in Chesapeake, VA

Because Chesapeake's neighborhoods are so spread out, driving is the fastest way to get from place to place, and most renters opt to have a car. Namely, interstates 64, 464 and 664 all run through Chesapeake, connecting the city's various neighborhoods. Accordingly, apartments and businesses throughout Chesapeake offer ample parking to support this. Alternatively, renters without cars can take advantage of the Hampton Roads Transit bus system, which offers service throughout Chesapeake and neighboring cities. However, bus service is limited in the rural areas of Chesapeake. Otherwise, for regional transit, renters can head to nearby Norfolk, which has an Amtrak station with service throughout the East Coast. Finally, Norfolk International Airport is located just 15 miles away and local renters can access a variety of flights throughout the country.
