1619 King St, Portsmouth, VA 23704

Why this home stands out

New construction in 2026 means everything — the roof, the systems, the finishes — is yours from day one, with no deferred maintenance to inherit. Four bedrooms and 2.1 baths give you real flexibility for a growing household or a dedicated home office. And the location is genuinely rare: very few addresses in the 23704 zip code place you this close to two major military installations simultaneously, making a VA loan a natural fit for buyers who qualify.

PARK VIEW and the Portsmouth real estate market

King Street sits in Portsmouth, one of the seven cities of Hampton Roads and one of the region's most historically layered communities. The surrounding blocks carry the quiet, lived-in character of an established urban neighborhood — sidewalk-lined streets, mature trees, and neighbors who have been here long enough to know each other's names. Portsmouth itself borders the Elizabeth River and shares a working waterfront identity with Norfolk directly across the water. The city is home to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard, two installations that have shaped the local economy and community for generations. Commuters appreciate the straightforward access to I-264 and the Downtown Tunnel, which connects Portsmouth to Norfolk and Virginia Beach without a long detour. If you are comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, this part of the city rewards buyers who want urban convenience — groceries, parks, and dining within half a mile — without sacrificing the breathing room of a residential street.
