What sets 1805 Roanoke Avenue apart is its rare combination of mid-century bones and an unbeatable position in Portsmouth.

And with two major military installations literally three minutes away, this address makes a short commute feel almost effortless.
PRENTIS PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market
Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities, and the area around 1805 Roanoke Avenue reflects that character well. The streets here carry the quiet, established feel of a mid-20th-century neighborhood — mature trees, modest setbacks, and neighbors who've put down roots. It's a working city with genuine personality, not a suburb trying to be something it's not. Portsmouth sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, connected by the Downtown Tunnel and the High Street Landing ferry, giving you easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro without sacrificing the sense of community you get in a smaller city. The 1805 Roanoke Avenue Portsmouth VA 23704 address puts you in a part of the city where everyday life is walkable and the pace feels human-scaled. Lansing Park is just down the street, and the neighborhood's proximity to Norfolk Naval Shipyard means the area has long served military families and civilian workers alike.
What's nearby
Daily errands are easy from Roanoke Avenue. BP, Martha's Mini Mart, and Dollar General are all within 0.6 miles for quick stops. When you're ready to eat out, Hott Platz, Jem's 'Take A Plate', and Ziggy's Street Eats are all within half a mile — a solid lineup of local spots. Coffee is covered by a Starbucks at 0.8 miles and a Dunkin' at 0.9 miles. For fitness, Callaghan Gym and Fitness Center, Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness, and the Effingham Street Family YMCA are all about a mile out. Lansing Park, Turnpike Park, and Kinley Park give you three green-space options within 0.7 miles.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are each about three minutes from the front door — that's about as close as it gets in Hampton Roads. A VA loan can make this four-bedroom home even more accessible, and the neighborhood has a long history of welcoming military families. Short commutes mean more time at home, which matters when deployments and duty schedules already pull you in enough directions.
For first-time buyers
A four-bedroom home with two full baths and over 1,600 square feet is a strong starting point for a first purchase. The 1949 construction means the home has the kind of solid, no-frills build quality that holds up over decades. Portsmouth's price point is one of the more approachable in Hampton Roads, and if you qualify for a VA loan, the path to ownership here can be more straightforward than you might expect.
