Chesapeake's best-kept secret
Surrounding the waters of a tranquil Elizabeth River tributary, lies an area of Chesapeake, Virginia, known as Deep Creek-Portsmouth, where residents enjoy a suburban cocktail of quiet, attractive subdivisions and highly-rated schools with a twist of the great outdoors. “The Deep Creek area is Chesapeake’s best-kept secret,” says Susan Jubilee, an associate broker with Re/Max Alliance who has been selling real estate in the Hampton Roads area for 17 years. “It’s the perfect mix of older and newer homes and waterfront and non-waterfront homes. It’s a real bedroom community that’s attractive to a lot of people, from young families to single professionals to older folks.” According to Jubilee, Deep Creek is a favorite spot for military personnel to settle. “Transplants from other naval base areas around the country, like San Diego, love the area. And they love the price and value of the homes.”
Mix of modern and older, classic styles
Deep Creek-Portsmouth offers a variety of home options, from 1970s brick ranch-style single-family homes in established sidewalk-lined subdivisions to modern new construction with hints of classic styles, like Craftsman and Victorian, built on ample lots, many with water views. Home sizes range from 1,000 to 4,500 square feet with two to five bedrooms, and list prices tend to fall between $265,000 and $770,000. Homes here tend to sell well, and the appreciation and growth in the area has been stable.

Scenic journeys through Dismal Swamp
With lovely local waterways, numerous area parks and the Great Dismal Swamp Wildlife Refuge on the doorstep, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors in and around the Deep Creek-Portsmouth area. Anglers can catch largemouth bass in Deep Creek, and hikers can experience a scenic journey through the Dismal Swamp along the nearby Portsmouth Ditch Trail. For fun with the kids and pup, there’s Deep Creek Park, with its playground, baseball fields and dog park. Surrounded by water, Deep Creek Lock Park, named for the locks built by the Army Corps of Engineers to separate the saltwater of Deep Creek from the Dismal Swamp Canal’s freshwater, is a wooded, tidal inlet oasis with footbridges and trails, a canoe launch, a play area and an observation tower that overlooks the locks.
Find your path in the wilds of the Great Dismal Swamp.

El Puente Mexican Grill in Deep-Creek Portsmouth offers delicious cuisine.
Shop and dine at the Crossings
The nearby Crossings at Deep Creek shopping center, conveniently located along Moses Grandy Trail, is perfect for a quick grocery run at Food Lion. Affordable household staples can be found at the Dollar General. Shoppers can then grab a bite at the popular El Puente Mexican Grill, where the salsa may be hot, but the margaritas are ice cold. Deep Creek-Portsmouth-area folks have even more retail and dining choices near the intersection of Dominion Boulevard and Grassfield Parkway, where there’s a Walmart Supercenter and a popular local chain restaurant called The Dirty Buffalo, which serves sports bar favorites like wings, burgers and mac ‘n cheese bowls in a family-friendly atmosphere.
Barbecue and entertainment at BeefFest
From the Chesapeake Virginia Wine Festival to the KayaXpedition paddle craft festival, the city of Chesapeake is home to countless events throughout the year, and the Deep Creek-Portsmouth area of town is no exception. Izaak Walton Park off of Deep Creek’s Trailsend Lane has been known to host the Deep Creek Ruritan Club’s annual BeefFest, where folks line up for all-you-can-eat beef barbecue, pony rides, face painting, remote-control monster truck races and more.
I-64 connection
Though public transit isn’t readily accessible in the Deep Creek-Portsmouth area, Interstate 64 runs through the area, making the commute to other Hampton Roads destinations, like the 13-mile drive to downtown Norfolk or the 24-mile trip to Oceana Naval Air Station in Virginia Beach, a little easier. However, with several multi-year – and multi-million dollar – bridge, tunnel and highway improvement projects in effect until 2027, local traffic woes are a reality. “Commuting will improve when the construction is complete,” Jubilee says. “Everyone understands that it's temporary.”
