2216 Deep Creek Blvd, Portsmouth, VA 23704

Why this home stands out

What sets this address apart is the rare combination of size and location. At 2,300 square feet with four bedrooms and three full baths, there's genuine room to spread out — yet you're three minutes from Norfolk Naval Shipyard and four minutes from USCG Base Portsmouth. That kind of proximity is hard to find in Portsmouth homes for sale at this footprint, making Deep Creek Blvd a street worth knowing.

PRENTIS PLACE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Prentis Place is one of those Portsmouth neighborhoods where the streets feel established and the lots have character. Built out largely in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the area carries the architectural personality of that era — solid construction, mature trees, and a sense that people put down real roots here. Deep Creek Blvd runs as a main artery through the neighborhood, keeping you connected without the chaos of a busier corridor. Portsmouth itself sits at the heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and stitched into the broader metro by bridge-tunnels and interstates. The city has been investing in its historic core, and neighborhoods like Prentis Place benefit from that momentum. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth often discover that the city delivers more square footage and lot size per dollar than many of its neighbors across the water — and 2216 Deep Creek Blvd is a clear example of that value proposition.
