Why this home stands out
Built in 2008, 2954 Greenwood Drive delivers a floor plan that actually fits how people live — four bedrooms, a half bath on the main level, and 2,508 square feet of space that gives everyone room to spread out. The 2008 construction means you're working with modern framing standards, updated mechanicals, and none of the surprise renovation projects that come with older Portsmouth stock. It's a practical, well-proportioned home in a location that punches well above its zip code.
NEW PORT and the Portsmouth real estate market
Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities, and the 23701 zip code puts you in a quieter, residential pocket of the Southside that locals genuinely appreciate. The streets here have a settled, neighborhood feel — mature trees, modest lot sizes, and a mix of families and long-term residents who actually know their neighbors. You're not fighting for parking or dodging cut-through traffic. What you do get is quick access to Interstate 264 and the broader Portsmouth grid, which means downtown, the waterfront, and the rest of the region are all within reach without a long commute. Portsmouth sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, and the two cities share a lot of the same infrastructure, job base, and military presence. Living here means you're close to everything Hampton Roads offers — water, history, food, and a genuine sense of community — without paying the premium that comes with a Norfolk or Virginia Beach address.

For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is six minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is seven — it's hard to find a four-bedroom home this close to two major installations without significant trade-offs.

Four bedrooms and 2,508 square feet give a growing family real breathing room — dedicated spaces for kids, a home office, or out-of-town guests. Built in 2008, this home skips the deferred maintenance cycle that plagues older properties, and the parks within walking distance mean outdoor time doesn't require loading everyone into the car.
