Hillcrest pairs everyday convenience with a relaxed suburban feel on the south side of Chesapeake. Situated between Great Bridge and Hickory, it offers a mix of established homes and newer cul-de-sacs, with quick access to groceries, locally owned eateries, and big-box essentials along Hillcrest Parkway and at nearby Edinburgh Commons. Commuters appreciate the Chesapeake Expressway for swift trips to Virginia Beach and regional job centers.
Weekends are easy to fill: families spread out at Chesapeake City Park’s playgrounds and seasonal concerts, while boaters and anglers head toward the Great Bridge Lock to watch the Intracoastal Waterway in action. Runners and cyclists will find plenty of sidewalks and nearby trails, and the city’s event calendar offers festivals, movies in the park, and sports programs year-round through resources like Visit Chesapeake.
Schools are a major draw. The neighborhood is served by Chesapeake Public Schools, with many addresses feeding into sought-after campuses such as Hickory High School and nearby middle and elementary options—always verify current zoning to match your address and grade levels. Everyday errands are simple, and the area’s steady pace, larger lots, and cul-de-sac streets support an easygoing lifestyle.
If you’re considering a move, Hillcrest rewards you with space, convenience, and solid resale appeal—whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or purchasing your first home.
