National Virginia Day: The Origins of Chesapeake Homes in VA

In 2024, Chesapeake Homes is known for being a quality new home construction company located on the east coast building in Coastal Virginia, Raleigh, North Carolina, Coastal North Carolina, and Coastal South Carolina. While the company has expanded since it’s founding in 1991, the unmatched craftsmanship and dedication to buyers has never wavered.

Virginia is the birthplace of Chesapeake Homes, and the state holds a special place in the company’s heart. Chesapeake Homes was founded by LM Sandler & Sons. The Sandler family began their business ventures in downtown Norfolk in the food industry in the 1900s. After a couple of generations of great success, the family sold the company to Sara Lee.

The Sandler’s were always looking for new business opportunities and discovering new exciting projects is in their blood. Art and Steve Sandler invested in this new enterprise, giving Virginia what is Chesapeake Homes. Today, LM Sandler & Sons businesses include Chesapeake Homes, Equity Title Company, Tidewater Mortgage, Today Homes Realty, Wakefield Development, and more.

All together these companies work to bring the American dream of owning a new home to buyers in all our divisions. Since the very beginning up until today, Chesapeake Homes’ coastal Virginia division has had 22 different communities, with many more on the horizon.
