Why this home stands out

Built in 2020, this home brings contemporary construction and clean lines to a neighborhood close to major employment centers. Three bedrooms and two full baths fit comfortably into 1,280 square feet, with thoughtful floor planning. You're within six minutes of Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth—a rare combination of proximity to two major military installations. The newer build means fewer surprises and lower immediate maintenance concerns.

NEW PORT and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth sits on the Elizabeth River's western shore, a working waterfront city with deep naval and maritime roots. The neighborhoods here blend older residential blocks with newer development, and yours sits in an area with convenient access to daily errands and parks. Woodland Park is just a few blocks away, perfect for a quick walk. Getting around is straightforward: local roads connect easily to I-264 and the Downtown Portsmouth waterfront. If you're comparing homes for sale in 23701, you'll notice the city's mix of affordability and location—close enough to Naval Station Norfolk and the shipyard to matter, but with its own distinct identity. Portsmouth itself is quieter than some of the larger Hampton Roads cities, yet everything you need is nearby. The area has steady foot traffic and a real sense of community on the blocks.

What's nearby

New York Pizza & Deli and Hay Hing Chinese are both under a mile away for quick meals. Coffee runs are easy: 7-Eleven and Crossings Cafe sit less than a mile out, and Starbucks Coffee Company is nearby too. Grocery shopping at Farm Fresh International or Dollar General takes just a short drive. Woodland Park is a three-minute walk, and Maplewood Park sits four blocks away—both have open space and playgrounds. GreenwoodSniffSpot offers another green space option close by.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and two full baths give you room to spread out in 1,280 square feet. The 2020 build means modern systems and efficient layouts with no major work needed before you settle in.
