Why this home stands out

New construction in 2026 means you're the first person through the door — no inherited quirks, no deferred maintenance, no guessing what's behind the walls. At 1,507 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the layout is thoughtfully sized for real daily life. Add a one-minute drive to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and a two-minute hop to USCG Base Portsmouth, and this address is one of the most base-proximate new builds you'll find among Portsmouth homes for sale.

BRIGHTON and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities — a working waterfront community with genuine history, tight-knit blocks, and a downtown that has been quietly gaining momentum. The 23704 zip code sits in the southern core of the city, close to the Elizabeth River and anchored by the industrial heritage of Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Streets here have a lived-in character: modest lots, mature trees lining the sidewalks, and neighbors who actually know each other. It's not a suburb designed around a highway interchange — it's a real urban neighborhood where you can walk to a park, grab lunch around the corner, and still be at the gate of one of the largest naval installations on the East Coast in under five minutes. For anyone browsing homes for sale in Portsmouth who wants urban proximity without urban chaos, this pocket of 23704 delivers a rare combination of new construction quality and established neighborhood texture.

What's nearby

Daily errands are genuinely walkable from 1805 Chestnut Street. Martha's Mini Mart is two-tenths of a mile away for quick grocery runs, with Dollar General and an Amoco station both within four-tenths. When you want to sit down, Jaliyah's and Vickie's Convenience & Deli Subs are each just 0.2 miles out, and Ten10 Restaurant is a short three-tenths-of-a-mile stroll. Morning coffee comes from Cure at 0.4 miles or a 7-Eleven at the same distance. Fitness options are equally close — the Effingham Street Family YMCA is 0.2 miles away, Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness is half a mile, and Movement Studio VA rounds things out at 0.6 miles. Scotts Creek Park, Columbia Court, and Crawford Park are all within four-tenths of a mile for outdoor time.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

One minute to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and two minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — the commute math is almost hard to believe. For active-duty families, that proximity translates to real time back in your day. A VA loan pairs naturally with a new-construction purchase like this, and the 23704 location keeps you well within any reasonable BAH band for E-5 and above.

For first-time buyers

Buying your first home is easier when the property is brand new — no inspection surprises, no renovation budget to estimate, no previous owner's decisions to undo. At 1,507 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, 1805 Chestnut Street is sized right for a first purchase: enough room to grow into, not so much that you're overwhelmed. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Norcom High School and homes for sale zoned for Brighton Elementary School will find this address worth a close look.
