Why this home stands out
Most homes this close to two major installations were built decades ago. At 270 Foxglove Drive, you get 2021 construction — meaning current building codes, modern finishes, and systems that won't need attention anytime soon. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a compact footprint that's genuinely easy to maintain make this a practical choice without sacrificing comfort.
NEW PORT and the Portsmouth real estate market
Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities, and the southwest corner near Foxglove Drive has a quiet, established feel that surprises a lot of first-time visitors. The streets here are lined with mature trees, and the pace is noticeably calmer than the busier corridors to the north. You're in Portsmouth proper — part of an independent city in Virginia that carries its own history and character, separate from the surrounding counties. The neighborhood itself sits within easy reach of Woodland Park and Maplewood Park, giving the area a green, unhurried quality. Commuters appreciate that the street grid here connects efficiently to the main routes heading toward the shipyard and the waterfront. Portsmouth homes for sale in this zip code — 23701 — tend to draw buyers who want proximity to work without paying a premium for a trendier address. Daily life here is low-key in the best way: familiar faces, manageable traffic, and a genuine sense of place.

Coffee before work is easy — Crossings Cafe and Starbucks are each about 0.8 miles away, with a 7-Eleven even closer at 0.7 miles. For fresh air, GreenwoodSniffSpot and Woodland Park are both just 0.3 miles from your front door.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is six minutes away — and so is USCG Base Portsmouth. For military families weighing a VA loan purchase, that kind of dual-base proximity is genuinely rare. A 2021 build means fewer surprise maintenance costs during a tour of duty, and the three-bedroom layout handles a growing family without wasted space.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home, a 2021-built property removes a lot of the anxiety that comes with older houses. The systems are young, the finishes are current, and at just over 1,200 square feet, the home is manageable without feeling cramped. Portsmouth's 23701 zip code offers a more accessible entry point into homeownership in Hampton Roads without sacrificing convenience.
