Quiet suburban living at the edge of the city
Chesterfield Heights is less than a mile from US Route 17, on the far southwestern side of Elizabeth City. Realtor Stacey White, with Howard Hanna, says the community's location is a large part of its appeal, given that it’s right between a growing business district on the northwest side of town and Elizabeth City's historic downtown area to the east. “It’s an area people feel is safe and convenient, so it’s been a hit,” says the Elizabeth City area local. David Hoskins, a Realtor with The Real Estate Group Carolina Properties, agrees. “It’s a traditional suburb, so quiet it’s almost rural. But at the same time, it’s close to Route 17, the main road, which means it’s close to shopping and it’s easy to get to Virginia.”

Competitive prices compared to Virginia
Chesterfield Heights comprises several smaller subdivisions, including Summerfield, Hunters Lake and Chesterfield Heights. White explains that the neighborhood’s namesake development is the oldest; its brick and vinyl-clad ranch-style homes were mostly built between the ‘60s and ‘70s, with a few ‘80s builds scattered here and there. “You go through Chesterfield Heights to get to Hunters Lake and Summerfield,” she says, adding that construction in those subdivisions started in the early 2000s and is ongoing. Prices run anywhere from $250,000 for older construction and can go up to 400,000 for new builds. “Elizabeth City is still an area that’s considered affordable, even though we’ve had very low inventory lately,” says White. Hoskins agrees, observing that property taxes here are low compared to Virginia, too. “It’s all around a lower cost, so it’s affordable for someone who works in the Chesapeake area, even though they’ll have a longer commute.”
Chesterfield Heights is seeing an influx of new home construction.

Agricultural Complex at Northeastern High encourages green thumbs
Chesterfield Heights kids attend schools in the Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools district. Youngsters between preschool and fifth grade go to P.W. Moore Elementary, which earns a C-minus from Niche. Older students go to River Road Middle, which gets a C, and Northeastern High, which gets a B-minus. The high school’s Agricultural Complex features seven greenhouses, the most of any K-12 school in the state. The complex is cared for by Northeastern students, faculty and staff as part of the Future Farmers of America, or FFA, program.
Elizabeth City State University's campus is just a few miles east of Chesterfield Heights. The public, historically Black university offers nearly 30 undergraduate programs, in subjects ranging from mathematics to aviation.

Bypass area big-box shopping
In the small shopping district just northeast of the neighborhood, there’s a Food Lion, Belk, Lowe’s and Harbor Freight. “There’s also an area called ‘the Bypass,’ which is where most of the larger retail options in town are located, like Walmart, Aldi and TJMaxx,” says White. “For a long time, this was a very rural area, and we didn’t have some of those larger name-brands. But as the Bypass has been built up, it’s really helped the city grow.” Elizabeth City’s historic downtown district is not far from home, either, overlooking the Pasquotank River waterfront less than 4 miles east. “The downtown area has smaller, boutique-type shopping options,” says White. It's also full of locally owned eateries. Her personal favorite restaurant in town is Montero’s Restaurant & Bar, which is between Chesterfield Heights and downtown. It's known for elevated Southern comfort food. “They’re locally owned and always consistent. You’re always going to get great service, a perfect meal and an amazing atmosphere.”

Quick commuting around town and to Chesapeake
Elizabeth City’s historic, waterfront downtown district is less than 4 miles northeast, a drive that usually takes about 10 minutes, depending on traffic. At just 7 miles southeast, Coast Guard Base Elizabeth City, a major local employer, is not much farther. US Route 17 bustles by the north side of the community, connecting north toward Virginia. “A lot of people who live in Elizabeth City work in Virginia,” says Hoskins. The 42-mile drive from here to Chesapeake takes about 50 minutes via the main thoroughfare. “It’s a really nice drive, too,” says Hoskins. “It’s not crowded and it’s very pretty, with trees on either side of the road.” Kitty Hawk, a beach town on North Carolina’s east shoreline, is about 50 miles away. Via US Route 158, the drive typically takes an hour.
Chesterfield Heights combines rural environments with urban amenities.
Chesterfield Heights residents use ICPTA buses as their primary public transportation option.
