Why this home stands out

Few addresses in the 23704 zip code put you this close to two major installations at once. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about three minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly four.

Add a park, a fitness center, and a café all within a third of a mile, and the everyday errand list gets very short, very fast.

ALL OTHERS AREA 21 and the Portsmouth real estate market

Lindsay Avenue sits in a quiet, established part of Portsmouth — one of Hampton Roads' oldest cities. The streets here carry the character of early twentieth-century construction, with modest homes on compact lots and a neighborhood rhythm that feels unhurried. Portsmouth itself hugs the southern bank of the Elizabeth River, directly across from Norfolk. The city has a working waterfront, a walkable Olde Towne historic district, and a transit network that connects to the broader Hampton Roads region. Getting around is easy. Interstate 264 and US-17 are both accessible without a long drive. The Jordan Bridge links Portsmouth to Chesapeake just to the south. For anyone browsing homes for sale in Portsmouth, this part of the city offers a rare combination — genuine urban convenience without the congestion of a larger metro core. The 23704 zip code covers a compact, well-connected slice of the city where most daily needs are reachable on foot or in under ten minutes by car.

What's nearby

The Scott Center Annex Commissary is 0.1 miles away — a meaningful perk for anyone who shops there regularly. Mariner's Reef Cafe is 0.3 miles out, a solid spot for a morning coffee. Callaghan Gym and Fitness Center is also 0.3 miles away, so skipping leg day has fewer excuses. MWR Scott Annex Park is 0.2 miles from the door, offering outdoor space without a drive. Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Happy Time Food Mart are both within half a mile for quick meals. Lansing Park is 0.7 miles away for a longer walk. Jordan Bridge parking provides easy access to the bridge corridor at 0.4 miles.
