Why this home stands out
What sets 2707 Pinewell Street apart is its unbeatable proximity to two major military installations without the price tag that usually comes with it. At 900 square feet, this 1942 single-family home is sized for efficiency — low overhead, manageable upkeep — while still sitting inside a walkable pocket of Portsmouth where coffee, groceries, parks, and a solid soul food spot are all reachable on foot or in minutes.
TRUXTON and the Portsmouth real estate market
Pinewell Street sits in a quiet residential stretch of southern Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep shipbuilding roots, a revitalized downtown waterfront, and a tight-knit community feel that larger Hampton Roads cities can't always match. The blocks around this address are a mix of mid-century homes on modest lots, mature trees lining the sidewalks, and the kind of neighborhood where people actually know their neighbors. Portsmouth occupies a unique spot in the region: it borders Norfolk directly across the Elizabeth River, giving residents fast access to the broader metro while maintaining its own distinct character. The city is home to the Olde Towne Historic District, a working waterfront, and a growing arts and dining scene downtown. For anyone weighing where to plant roots in Hampton Roads, Portsmouth consistently offers more home per dollar than many of its neighbors — and Pinewell Street puts you right in the middle of that value.

Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are each about five minutes away — as close as it gets without living on base. That kind of commute changes daily life in real ways: more time at home, less time in Hampton Roads traffic. A VA loan can make buying here straightforward, and the low square footage means lower utility costs while you're stationed here.
