At a glance

1914 Parker Avenue is a five-bedroom, three-bath home in Portsmouth's Prentis Park neighborhood, offering 2,600 square feet of character-rich 1938 construction just two minutes from Norfolk Naval Shipyard — a rare combination of space, history, and unbeatable proximity to work.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Homes this close to Norfolk Naval Shipyard rarely come with five bedrooms and 2,600 square feet of living space. Built in 1938, 1914 Parker Avenue carries the craftsmanship of its era — think solid bones and architectural detail you simply don't find in newer construction — while sitting in an established Portsmouth neighborhood that puts two major installations within a three-minute drive. That's a combination worth paying attention to.

PRENTIS PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Prentis Park is one of Portsmouth's quieter, tree-lined residential pockets — the kind of neighborhood where front porches still get used and longtime residents know their neighbors by name. The streets here have a settled, unhurried feel, with mature landscaping and a mix of well-kept mid-century homes that give the area genuine character. Lansing Park is just two-tenths of a mile away, and the Truxtun Historic District is a half-mile stroll if you enjoy a walk with some history attached to it. Portsmouth itself is a city that often surprises people — it has a working waterfront, a revitalized Olde Towne core, and a tight-knit community identity that larger Hampton Roads cities can't quite replicate. For anyone weighing the tradeoffs of city living versus suburban sprawl, Prentis Park lands in a comfortable middle ground: close to everything without feeling like you're on top of it.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from Parker Avenue. Jem's "Take A Plate," Hott Platz, and Cuzzoz Kitchen are all within two-tenths of a mile — so dinner options are practically around the corner. Mariner's Reef Cafe is seven-tenths of a mile out when you want a proper coffee stop. Callaghan Gym and Fitness Center is six-tenths of a mile away, and Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness is under a mile if you prefer a more intense workout. For quick grocery runs, a BP, Dollar General, and Amoco are all within half a mile. Lansing Park and Highland Biltmore Park round out the outdoor options nearby.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Two minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and three minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — it's hard to overstate how much that commute simplifies military life. Five bedrooms means everyone gets their own space, and the VA loan benefit makes a home of this size genuinely accessible. Prentis Park is a stable, established neighborhood that military families tend to put down real roots in.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and 2,600 square feet give a growing family room to actually spread out — dedicated space for a home office, a guest room, or a playroom without anyone feeling squeezed. The 1938 construction means the layout has real rooms with real walls, not the open-plan everything of newer builds. Add Lansing Park two-tenths of a mile away and a handful of local restaurants within walking distance, and daily life here has a comfortable rhythm to it.

More buyer questions

What is the Prentis Park neighborhood like?

Prentis Park is a well-established, tree-lined residential neighborhood in Portsmouth with a mix of mid-century homes and a genuinely neighborly feel. It's walkable to parks, local restaurants, and everyday conveniences while remaining a relatively calm, residential pocket of the city.

The home was built in 1938, making it over 85 years old. Homes of this era in Portsmouth are known for solid construction and architectural details — like original hardwood floors, thick plaster walls, and traditional room layouts — that are difficult to replicate in modern builds.

Can a VA loan be used to purchase 1914 Parker Avenue?
