Why this home stands out
New construction in an established Portsmouth neighborhood is genuinely rare, and 1404 Centre Ave delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this four-bedroom, three-bath home gives you modern systems, fresh finishes, and a full 2,152 square feet without the compromises that come with older stock. Three minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and four minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth makes the commute almost a non-issue — and that combination is hard to beat anywhere in Hampton Roads.
BRIGHTON and the Portsmouth real estate market
Centre Ave sits in a close-knit residential pocket of Portsmouth — a city that punches well above its weight for character, history, and everyday convenience. Portsmouth proper is compact enough that almost everything feels within reach, yet it carries a genuine neighborhood identity that larger cities sometimes lose. The blocks around 1404 Centre Ave blend long-established homes with newer infill, giving the street a lived-in energy without feeling frozen in time. Olde Towne Portsmouth, one of the largest collections of pre-Civil War architecture on the East Coast, is just a short drive away, and the Elizabeth River waterfront adds a scenic backdrop to weekend errands and evening walks. City amenities — parks, local dining, fitness options — are woven right into the surrounding blocks, so daily life here rarely requires a long drive. For buyers exploring Portsmouth real estate, this address offers an unusually strong combination of new construction quality and established-neighborhood proximity.
