2716 Hickory St, Portsmouth, VA 23707

Why this home stands out

What sets 2716 Hickory St apart is raw proximity to two major installations without the trade-off of a long commute eating your day. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is four minutes away; Norfolk Naval Shipyard is five. Add a Walmart Supercenter literally around the corner and a full lineup of quick-service dining at your doorstep, and daily errands essentially run themselves. For a mid-century home with a practical footprint, the location does a lot of the heavy lifting.

MOUNT HERMON and the Portsmouth real estate market

Hickory Street sits in a well-established residential pocket of Portsmouth — a city with deep naval roots and a genuine sense of place that newer suburbs rarely replicate. The surrounding blocks carry the character of 1950s construction: modest lots, mature trees, and neighbors who have often been around long enough to know each other by name. Portsmouth itself straddles the southern bank of the Elizabeth River, directly across from Norfolk, and offers its own distinct identity — from the walkable Olde Towne historic district to working waterfront heritage that predates the Revolution. Getting around is straightforward whether you're heading to base, crossing the river via the Downtown Tunnel, or simply running errands along the High Street corridor. The city is home to a mix of long-time residents and military families cycling through Hampton Roads, which gives neighborhoods like this one a grounded, lived-in energy that feels welcoming from day one.

What's nearby

Convenience is almost absurdly good at this address. A Walmart Supercenter is 0.1 miles away, handling grocery runs in minutes. When you want a quick meal, Rally's and 7 Brew Coffee are essentially at your front door, with Chick-fil-A and Panda Express just a block further. Wawa and Starbucks round out the coffee options within a short walk. For staying active, Sports Performance House is 0.3 miles out and Zenya Yoga Studio is just past that. Seaboard Square, Kinley Park, and Florida Park are all within half a mile, giving you easy access to outdoor space without getting in the car.
