1024 Bay St, Portsmouth, VA 23704

Why this home stands out

Few addresses in Hampton Roads put you this close to a major military medical center. The 1910 build date means real architectural character — thick walls, period proportions, and the kind of craftsmanship you simply don't find in newer construction. At over 2,000 square feet, the floor plan gives you room to breathe. Add two full baths and a location that puts coffee, a gym, and a park all within a short walk, and 1024 Bay Street stands apart.

PARK VIEW and the Portsmouth real estate market

Bay Street sits in a historic section of Portsmouth, a city that has been a working waterfront community since the colonial era. The streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century homes, many of them well-maintained originals with front porches and mature trees. It is the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23704 with genuine character rather than manufactured charm. Portsmouth sits just across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, and the two cities share a ferry connection that makes downtown Norfolk easy to reach without a car. Interstate 264 and US-58 are both accessible within minutes, connecting you to the broader Hampton Roads region. The city itself offers a walkable Olde Towne district with galleries, restaurants, and the waterfront. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and multiple federal facilities give the local economy a steady foundation. Daily life here moves at a comfortable pace, with real neighborhood texture and a strong sense of place.
