Why this home stands out
What sets 1105 Florida Ave apart is the combination of a larger-than-average lot for a sub-1,000-square-foot home and an almost unbeatable proximity to two major military installations. You're getting outdoor space to spread out, a walkable block lined with groceries and local eats, and a commute to base that most Hampton Roads residents can only dream about. That's a rare combination at this size.
MOUNT HERMON and the Portsmouth real estate market
Mount Hermon is one of Portsmouth's established residential pockets — a no-frills, lived-in neighborhood where neighbors know each other and the streets are quiet without feeling remote. The area has a working-class backbone and a genuine sense of place that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. Homes here tend to sit on real lots with mature trees and actual yards, and 1105 Florida Ave fits that mold with its 0.21 acres. Portsmouth itself carries a lot of Hampton Roads history — it's home to the oldest naval hospital in the country, a walkable Olde Towne district with brick sidewalks and 18th-century architecture, and a waterfront that faces Norfolk across the Elizabeth River. As a city, Portsmouth rewards people who take the time to explore it. Mount Hermon puts you close to the action without dropping you into the middle of it, which is exactly what many buyers are looking for when they want a home base that feels like home.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from 1105 Florida Ave. Fast 5 Grocery & Deli and A & A Seafood Market are both within 0.2 miles — you can walk to either. Bean Oriental Grocery is just 0.3 miles out. For a sit-down meal or a quick bite, Cooper's Restaurant and Lounge and Chanello's Pizza are right around the corner. Morning coffee runs are covered by a Wawa and a Starbucks, both under 0.7 miles away. Florida Park is a two-minute walk at 0.2 miles, with Franklin Circle Park and Kinley Park also close by. If you want to stay active, Sports Performance House, Zenya Yoga Studio, and DCo are all within a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Four minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and five minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — the commute math here is hard to argue with. Whether you're active duty, a civilian employee, or a medical professional at NMCP, 1105 Florida Ave puts you close enough to base that your mornings feel manageable. A VA loan can make this straightforward to finance, and the lot gives your family room to actually live.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home and want something manageable — in size, in upkeep, and in day-to-day logistics — 1105 Florida Ave makes a strong case. Three bedrooms and a real yard on 0.21 acres gives you more than most starter homes offer. The walkable block, quick grocery access, and proximity to parks mean you won't feel boxed in. It's a practical foothold in a stable Portsmouth neighborhood.
