1105 Florida Avenue, Portsmouth, VA 23707

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.
