VaHome team overview

Our read on this home

At a glance

A 2,300-square-foot, three-bedroom home built in 1995 sitting less than a minute from both USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard — one of the closest civilian addresses to two major federal installations in all of Hampton Roads.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Most homes near a military installation are a 10- or 15-minute commute away. One Columbia Court is measured in seconds. Positioned at the edge of a quiet cul-de-sac court in Portsmouth, this 1995-built, 2,300-square-foot residence puts two of the region's largest federal workplaces essentially at your doorstep — a combination that is genuinely rare anywhere in Hampton Roads.

OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Columbia Court sits inside Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep maritime roots, a walkable Olde Towne historic district, and a waterfront that faces the Elizabeth River. The immediate surroundings here are calm and residential, tucked into a small court setting that keeps through-traffic minimal. Portsmouth proper offers a distinct character compared to its neighbors across the water: brick-lined streets, independent restaurants, and a genuine sense of community that longtime residents take pride in. The city is served by a passenger ferry to downtown Norfolk, making it easy to access the broader metro without ever touching the interstate. For a home that sits this close to federal employment — and that qualifies comfortably for a VA loan given its location — 1 Columbia Court offers a lifestyle that balances quiet residential living with immediate access to work, the waterfront, and everything the Portsmouth community has built over generations.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Columbia Court. The Portsmouth Naval Medical Center campus is just minutes away, and the Olde Towne district — with its independent coffee shops, restaurants, and the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame — is a short drive or bike ride. Grocery options, pharmacies, and fuel are all within a five-minute radius. The Elizabeth River Trail connects pedestrians and cyclists to the broader waterfront corridor, and the High Street Landing ferry terminal puts downtown Norfolk within a quick river crossing.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

When your orders send you to Norfolk Naval Shipyard or USCG Base Portsmouth, commute time essentially disappears from your daily equation. One Columbia Court is measured in walking distance from both gates — a genuine rarity in Hampton Roads. Three bedrooms and over 2,300 square feet give a family room to spread out, and the VA loan benefit makes ownership here a straightforward conversation.

For buyers drawn to character

Portsmouth has a personality all its own — brick streets, a working waterfront, a historic district that actually feels lived-in rather than preserved under glass. One Columbia Court taps into that authenticity while offering the practical comfort of a 1995-built, 2,300-square-foot home with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. If you want a city with real roots and a home with real space, this address delivers both.
