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.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from Pinewell Street. Kroger is six-tenths of a mile away for full grocery runs, and a Dollar General sits just half a mile out for quick stops. When it's time to eat, KDs Soul Food Kitchen is a two-minute walk at 0.2 miles, Starbucks is 0.3 miles for your morning routine, and Chipotle is just 0.4 miles down the road. Need to move your body? Sports Performance House and Zenya Yoga Studio are both under a mile away. Maplewood Park, Seaboard Square, and Highland Biltmore Park are all within half a mile — giving you genuine outdoor options close to home.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
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.
For first-time buyers
At 900 square feet, 2707 Pinewell Street is a manageable first home — not overwhelming to maintain, not overwhelming to furnish. The 1942 build gives it character that newer construction rarely matches, and the location puts you within walking distance of parks, coffee, and dining before you've even figured out where everything goes. It's a practical, well-located starting point in Portsmouth.
