Why this home stands out

Built in 2025, this home has never been lived in. Every system — roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical — is new. You get modern finishes without the renovation guesswork that comes with older stock. At 1,813 square feet across three bedrooms and 2.1 baths, the layout gives you real room to spread out. Few addresses in Portsmouth sit this close to two federal installations and still offer walkable errands and dining.

PRENTIS PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Elm Avenue sits in a close-knit section of Portsmouth near the Elizabeth River waterfront. The streets here are lined with a mix of older brick homes and newer infill construction. It is a working neighborhood with deep roots and a genuine sense of place. Jefferson Park and Lansing Park are both about four-tenths of a mile away, giving the block a green anchor. Portsmouth itself is one of the seven cities of Hampton Roads, with a compact, navigable layout that makes cross-town trips quick. Downtown Portsmouth is just minutes south, with the Olde Towne historic district, waterfront dining, and the Portsmouth ferry to Norfolk. I-264 and US-58 connect you to the broader region — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Suffolk are all within a half-hour drive. Anyone browsing Portsmouth homes for sale will notice how central this zip code is to everything Hampton Roads has to offer. City services, public transit, and the waterfront trail system are all accessible from this address.

What's nearby

Church Food Mart is just a tenth of a mile away for quick grocery runs. Save & Save Supermarket is half a mile out for a fuller shop. Emma's Restaurant and Lil Mammas Soul Kitchen are both about two-tenths of a mile away — solid options for a weeknight dinner without driving. Ziggy's Street Eats is three-tenths of a mile for something quick. Mariner's Reef Cafe is four-tenths of a mile when you need a coffee. Callaghan Gym and Fitness Center and Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness are both under half a mile. The Effingham Street Family YMCA is eight-tenths of a mile and adds pool and court options to the mix.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about two minutes from this address — one of the shortest commutes you will find in Hampton Roads. USCG Base Portsmouth is three minutes in the other direction. VA loan financing is common for homes for sale in 23704, and new construction means no deferred maintenance surprises at inspection. The 2025 build date also means the home meets current energy and safety codes.

For first-time buyers

A 2025 build means your first home comes with all-new systems and a builder warranty. There are no aging roofs or outdated panels to budget around. Three bedrooms and 2.1 baths give you space that many starter homes in the area cannot match. Walkable groceries, parks, and restaurants within half a mile make daily life simpler without a second car trip.

Special Flood Hazard Area — 1% annual chance of flooding. Federal flood insurance is required on most mortgages.

Data sources: Flood zone and base flood elevation come from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown. Use these numbers as a starting reference and do your own due diligence (a professional survey or elevation certificate) before relying on them for any financial, insurance, or construction decision.

Zone AE typically means lenders require flood insurance. Factor it into the monthly numbers below.
