2216 Deep Creek Blvd, Portsmouth, VA 23704

Why this home stands out

What sets 2216 Deep Creek Boulevard apart is the combination of genuine square footage — 2,300 feet across four bedrooms and three full baths — and a location that almost no other address in Hampton Roads can match. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a three-minute drive, USCG Base Portsmouth is four. For anyone whose daily life revolves around either installation, this address turns a commute into a short errand. The 1961 construction era brings real room proportions and solid mid-century structure that newer, smaller builds rarely replicate.

PRENTIS PLACE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Prentis Place is a settled, unpretentious Portsmouth neighborhood where the streets are lined with mid-century homes and neighbors tend to stay put. The area carries the kind of lived-in character that comes from decades of working families putting down roots — wide lots by city standards, mature trees, and a pace that feels genuinely residential rather than transitional. Deep Creek Boulevard itself is a well-traveled corridor connecting you quickly to the rest of Portsmouth without the noise of a true arterial road. Portsmouth as a city is often underestimated. It sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, shares the same waterfront energy, and offers its own distinct identity — from the Olde Towne historic district to the working waterfront that has defined this city for centuries. Prentis Place puts you close to all of it while keeping you in a neighborhood that feels like its own place, not just a suburb of something else.
