123 W Afton Pw, Portsmouth, VA 23702

Why this home stands out

Newer construction from 2021 is genuinely hard to find this close to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and 123 W Afton Pkwy delivers it alongside five bedrooms — enough room for a growing household, a dedicated home office, or visiting family. The half-bath adds everyday practicality, and at 2,240 square feet the layout has breathing room without becoming a burden to maintain. This is the kind of address that checks boxes most buyers assume they'll have to compromise on.

AFTON GREEN and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most storied cities — a working waterfront community with deep naval roots, a compact and walkable downtown, and neighborhoods that feel genuinely lived-in rather than manufactured. The 23702 zip code sits in the southern part of the city, close to the action of the shipyard corridor yet quiet enough on residential streets to feel removed from it. Afton Parkway itself runs through a grid of modest, well-kept blocks where neighbors tend to know each other. George Washington Park is a short walk away, and the greenery along Afton Park and Afton Square gives the immediate surroundings a more open feel than the density of the zip code might suggest. For families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, this pocket of the city offers something increasingly rare: newer construction woven into an established, rooted community rather than a distant suburb.
