Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 120 Sandpiper Drive apart is its rare combination of genuine square footage — 2,055 feet across four bedrooms — and an almost unbeatable position relative to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Two minutes to the gate is not a typo. Add a walkable cluster of parks, neighborhood restaurants, and specialty grocers, and you have a property that earns its place among the most convenient Portsmouth homes for sale in this corridor.

ALL OTHERS AREA 22 and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities — a working waterfront community with deep roots, distinct neighborhoods, and a straight shot across the Elizabeth River to downtown Norfolk. The area around 23704 carries the character of mid-century Portsmouth: mature trees lining residential streets, modest front yards, and neighbors who have been here long enough to wave. Scotts Creek Park, Florida Park, and Fountain Park are all within a short walk, giving the block a green, unhurried feel despite being minutes from two military installations. Portsmouth's Olde Towne historic district is a short drive away, and the ferry to Norfolk's waterfront adds a dimension to daily life that few Hampton Roads addresses can match. For anyone comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, this zip code consistently punches above its weight on convenience.

Fast 5 Grocery & Deli, A & A Seafood Market, and Bean Oriental Grocery are all within 0.7 miles, covering everything from a quick lunch run to specialty ingredients.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Two minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and four minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — those numbers are hard to beat anywhere in Hampton Roads.

At 120 Sandpiper Drive, that mid-century character comes with 2,055 square feet and a location surrounded by parks and independent local spots. If you are drawn to places with a genuine story, this block delivers.
