Why this home stands out

Built in 1932, this 1,263-square-foot house carries the solid bones and character of its era. The floor plan flows across three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. You're walking distance to local shops, restaurants, and the heart of Piedmont Heights. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets and established homes create a genuine sense of place. Location is the real standout here—a three-minute commute to Norfolk Naval Shipyard makes daily life straightforward.

PIEDMONT HEIGHTS and the Portsmouth real estate market

Piedmont Heights is one of Portsmouth's most walkable neighborhoods. The streets are lined with vintage homes, many dating back decades, and the community has a lived-in, authentic feel. You'll find corner groceries, family-run restaurants, and neighborhood parks within a short walk. Portsmouth itself is a working waterfront city with deep naval and maritime roots. Getting around is easy: major routes connect you to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the wider Hampton Roads region. The city center sits just north, and the Elizabeth River waterfront offers parks and public access. If you're comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, note that Piedmont Heights offers walkability and character that newer subdivisions can't replicate.

What's nearby

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is three minutes by car—a major advantage for anyone with a shipyard commute. USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes away. Downtown Portsmouth's restaurants and shops are accessible by car or a longer walk. The Elizabeth River waterfront and its parks lie just beyond the neighborhood's southern edge.
