Why this home stands out

What sets 1612 Prentis Ave apart is the combination of recent construction and an almost impossibly convenient location. Built in 2019, the home skips the quirks and deferred maintenance that come with older Portsmouth stock. You get modern systems, current building standards, and 1,643 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space — all within a literal two-minute drive of one of the region's largest employers and military installations.

PRENTIS PLACE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most storied cities, and the area around Prentis Ave sits in the heart of its working waterfront character. The streets here have a lived-in, unpretentious feel — neighbors know each other, parks are close, and daily errands rarely require a highway. This part of Portsmouth sits just south of the Elizabeth River and within easy reach of downtown Portsmouth's growing dining and arts scene. The city itself is undergoing steady reinvestment, with older blocks mixing alongside newer infill construction like this one. Commuters appreciate the direct access to the naval corridor, and the broader Portsmouth community offers a range of local businesses, green spaces, and community anchors that give the area real texture. For buyers looking for authenticity over polish, Portsmouth delivers a sense of place that newer suburban developments simply can't replicate.

What's nearby

Day-to-day life at 1612 Prentis Ave is genuinely walkable for basics. Martha's Mini Mart is just 0.1 miles away for quick grabs, and a Dollar General sits 0.3 miles out. Jaliyah's is right at 0.1 miles if you want a nearby bite, and Vickie's Convenience & Deli Subs is an easy 0.3-mile walk for a quick lunch. Coffee runs are covered at Cure (0.7 mi) or the nearby 7-Eleven. For fitness, Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness and the Effingham Street Family YMCA are both about 0.4 miles away. Scotts Creek Park is a short 0.2-mile stroll, with Jefferson Park and Columbia Court also within half a mile.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is literally two minutes from the front door — and so is USCG Base Portsmouth. For active-duty families, that kind of proximity changes daily life in real ways: shorter commutes, more time at home, and less stress around shift changes or early musters. A VA loan can make financing a newer build like this especially straightforward, and Portsmouth's cost of living stretches BAH further than many Hampton Roads zip codes.

For first-time buyers

If you've been waiting for a home that doesn't come with a renovation list, 1612 Prentis Ave is worth a close look. Built in 2019, everything — mechanicals, roof, systems — is still relatively young. At 1,643 square feet with three bedrooms and a half-bath for guests, there's real room to grow here without overextending. Portsmouth's location in the heart of Hampton Roads means you're close to everything without paying the premium of trendier zip codes.
