Why this home stands out
What sets 136 Kings Gate Drive apart is its combination of a 2008 build year and a nearly quarter-acre lot in an established Portsmouth subdivision — giving you more breathing room than many comparably sized homes in the area. Four bedrooms across 1,732 square feet means everyone gets their own space, and the half-bath on the main level keeps daily routines running smoothly without the traffic jam.
KINGS GATE CROSSING and the Portsmouth real estate market
Kings Gate Crossing is a residential subdivision tucked into the western side of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep naval roots, a revitalized waterfront downtown, and neighborhoods that range from Victorian-era blocks to early 2000s developments like this one. The streets here are quiet and the lots are generously sized compared to older Portsmouth neighborhoods, which gives the whole area a settled, comfortable feel. Portsmouth sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, connected by the Downtown and Midtown tunnels, and it punches well above its size when it comes to parks, dining, and community character. Residents here are a mix of military families, longtime locals, and people who discovered that Portsmouth offers more space and a lower price of entry than the cities immediately to the north. The 136 Kings Gate Drive address puts you in the southern reaches of Portsmouth, close to the Chesapeake city line, with easy access to Interstate 264 and the network of Hampton Roads highways that keep the whole region connected.
