Why this home stands out

Homes built in the late 1930s carry a solidity that newer construction rarely matches — thick plaster walls, hardwood-era bones, and a floor plan that actually has rooms. At 1,677 square feet across three bedrooms, 110 Maxwell Avenue has real living space. The Truxtun Historic District is just down the road, and the block itself reflects that same era of purposeful neighborhood design. This is a home with a story already written into its walls.

HIGHLAND PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

110 Maxwell Avenue sits in a Portsmouth neighborhood shaped by the mid-twentieth century, where modest brick homes line tree-canopied streets and front porches still face the sidewalk. The Truxtun Historic District is a short walk away, anchoring the area with a sense of place that newer subdivisions simply cannot replicate. Highland Biltmore Park is just two-tenths of a mile out, giving the block a genuine green anchor. Streets here are quiet without feeling remote. Portsmouth itself is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities. The Elizabeth River waterfront, the Olde Towne district, and the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center all define the city's character. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 connects Portsmouth to Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and the Midtown and Downtown tunnels put the broader region within reach. Anyone comparing Portsmouth homes for sale will find that the 23702 zip code offers proximity to two major installations without the traffic of larger corridors. Daily life here moves at a manageable pace.

What's nearby

A 7-Eleven is just two-tenths of a mile away for quick stops, and Dunkin' is under a mile out for a morning coffee run. New York Pizza & Deli and Hay Hing Chinese are both within three-tenths of a mile when dinner plans change last minute. Dollar General covers everyday household needs at half a mile. GreenwoodSniffSpot, a dedicated off-leash area, is four-tenths of a mile away — a genuine perk for dog owners. Highland Biltmore Park sits right at the edge of the block, and the Truxtun Historic District adds walkable history to the mix. Homes for sale in 23702 rarely come with this density of nearby conveniences.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about four minutes from 110 Maxwell Avenue. USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly five minutes in the other direction. VA loan financing is common in this part of Portsmouth, and the home's age and structure mean there is real square footage to work with from day one. Two bases this close, with no long commute eating into your day, is a combination worth noting.

For first-time buyers

A 1938 home at 1,677 square feet gives first-time buyers genuine space without the premium of new construction. Three bedrooms and a half bath beyond the main bath means the layout has flexibility. The block is quiet, the park is steps away, and daily errands are all within a mile. Anyone exploring homes for sale in Portsmouth will find that this zip code offers real value for the square footage.
