Why this home stands out
Built in 2016, this townhome sidesteps the quirks of older Hampton Roads housing stock and gives you tight construction, contemporary finishes, and efficient systems from the ground up. Two full bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 1,544 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space — all in a neighborhood where two major military installations are each less than ten minutes away. That combination is genuinely hard to find.
NEW PORT and the Portsmouth real estate market
NEW PORT is one of Portsmouth's more quietly appealing neighborhoods — a compact, walkable pocket where newer construction sits close to the waterfront energy of the broader city. Portsmouth itself carries a lot of character: historic downtown blocks, a working riverfront, and a genuine small-city feel that larger markets can't replicate. Residents here benefit from quick access to both Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, making it a natural landing spot for military families rotating through Hampton Roads. While buyers searching gloucester county homes for sale are often drawn to suburban space, Portsmouth offers something different — urban convenience paired with manageable scale. Woodland Park is literally steps away, and the restaurant and entertainment corridor along the waterfront is well within reach. Portsmouth sits in the heart of Hampton Roads, which means bridges, tunnels, and interstate connections fan out in every direction, keeping the rest of the region accessible on any given day.
What's nearby
Woodland Park is just 0.1 miles away — an easy walk for a morning stretch or an evening wind-down. Maplewood Park and GreenwoodSniffSpot are both within half a mile if you need a change of scenery. For dining, Yard House, Admiral's Steak & Seafood, and Rivers Casino Portsmouth are all within five-tenths of a mile, giving you a solid rotation without driving far. Crossings Cafe and Starbucks Coffee Company are both 0.6 miles out for your daily coffee run. Farm Fresh International handles grocery needs at 0.6 miles, and Crunch Fitness Portsmouth is just a mile away when it's time to train.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a six-minute drive from 274 Paradise Drive, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is seven minutes in the other direction. For active-duty households, that kind of proximity to two installations simplifies daily logistics considerably. VA loan eligibility can stretch further in Portsmouth than in higher-cost markets, and BAH rates for the area are calibrated to the local cost of living.
For first-time buyers
A 2016 build means you're starting with modern systems, current code compliance, and finishes that don't need immediate attention — a real advantage when you're buying for the first time and want to avoid a renovation project. At 1,544 square feet across two bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's enough room to grow into without feeling overwhelmed by the upkeep.
