Why this home stands out
What sets 2724 Ash Street apart is its rare proximity to both Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard — four and five minutes away, respectively. For active-duty personnel and DoD civilians alike, that kind of commute is genuinely hard to come by. Add in 1,720 square feet of mid-century construction and you have a home that balances everyday practicality with a location that does a lot of the heavy lifting.
NORCOM PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market
Ash Street sits in a quiet residential pocket of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep maritime roots, a revitalized downtown waterfront, and a character that feels distinctly different from its louder neighbors across the Elizabeth River. Portsmouth rewards the curious: its Olde Towne historic district is one of the largest in the state, lined with Federal, Georgian, and Victorian architecture that tells the story of a working port city going back centuries. The blocks around 2724 Ash Street carry that same mid-century residential fabric — modest, well-kept homes on tree-lined streets where neighbors tend to know each other. Portsmouth also punches above its weight for everyday convenience, with grocery stores, pharmacies, and local restaurants all reachable in a short drive. Whether you're drawn by the commute, the community feel, or the city's ongoing investment in its own future, this address puts you squarely in the middle of it.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Four minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Five minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard. For a military family weighing duty station assignments, that kind of commute math is rare. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout gives you room to actually settle in rather than just pass through on orders.
For first-time buyers
Three bedrooms, two baths, and 1,720 square feet in a city that's actively investing in itself — 2724 Ash Street is the kind of first home that gives you room to grow without overextending. Portsmouth's mid-century neighborhoods tend to offer more square footage per dollar than newer construction, and the location near two major military installations keeps long-term demand steady.
