Why this home stands out

Most homes this close to Norfolk Naval Shipyard are decades older. This one was built in 2017, which means you're getting contemporary construction — think tighter energy efficiency, updated mechanicals, and a layout designed for how people actually live today — without sacrificing the short commute that makes this corner of Portsmouth so practical for active-duty families and civilian shipyard workers alike.

PRENTIS PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities, and the area surrounding Des Moines Avenue reflects that mix of deep roots and quiet, working-class pride. The streets here are close-knit and unpretentious, with a community feel that's hard to manufacture. Truxtun Historic District sits just half a mile away, offering a glimpse into Portsmouth's architectural past and a pleasant spot for a weekend walk. Lansing Park is just two-tenths of a mile from the front door — an easy stroll for an afternoon outside. Portsmouth sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, giving residents quick access to two cities' worth of amenities while maintaining its own distinct identity. The city's waterfront, downtown arts scene, and proximity to major military installations make it a genuinely practical place to put down roots. For anyone weighing where to live in Hampton Roads, Portsmouth consistently delivers on location.

What's nearby

Daily errands and quick bites are well within reach. Jem's 'Take A Plate,' Hott Platz, and Cuzzoz Kitchen are all within two-tenths of a mile — a walkable lineup of local flavor for weeknight dinners or a casual lunch. Lansing Park and Highland Biltmore Park give you green space options at multiple distances. Callaghan Gym and Fitness Center is 0.6 miles out, with Brikhouse Boxing and Fitness just under a mile for those who prefer a different kind of workout. Mariner's Reef Cafe is 0.7 miles away when you need a proper coffee stop. Convenience stores and Dollar General handle the quick-run essentials.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Three minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and four minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — it's hard to find newer construction that checks both boxes. A VA loan can make this 2017-built home even more accessible, and the short commute means more time at home and less time in Hampton Roads traffic. For an active-duty household, the math on location is straightforward.

For first-time buyers

A 2017 build means the big-ticket systems are relatively young — roof, HVAC, water heater — which takes some of the guesswork out of buying your first home. Four bedrooms gives you room to grow, and the price point in this part of Portsmouth tends to be more approachable than comparable newer construction elsewhere in Hampton Roads. It's a practical place to start building equity.
