3000 Acres Rd, Portsmouth, VA 23703

Why this home stands out

What sets 3000 Acres Road apart is the combination of square footage and proximity that is genuinely hard to find in this price tier of Portsmouth homes for sale. At 3,429 square feet, a 1944 build carries the kind of room proportions that newer construction rarely replicates — wide hallways, real walls, and a layout that gives four bedrooms and three and a half baths room to breathe without feeling stacked on top of each other.

GREEN ACRES and the Portsmouth real estate market

Acres Road sits in the Churchland corridor of Portsmouth — one of the city's most established and quietly self-sufficient communities. Churchland has its own rhythm: it's suburban in feel but dense enough in services that most daily errands stay close to home. The streets here are mature, with canopy trees and homes that have been part of the fabric of Portsmouth for generations. Neighbors tend to stay, which gives the area a stability that newer developments are still working to build. Portsmouth itself occupies a distinctive spot in Hampton Roads — directly across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, with its own deep naval and maritime history and a downtown waterfront that has been steadily reinvesting in itself. The 23703 zip code covers a broad swath of western Portsmouth where residential streets and local businesses coexist comfortably. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth often find that Churchland offers the most complete neighborhood package on this side of the city.

The Portsmouth YMCA is just 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for morning workouts or after-school programs. Churchland Little League Baseball Fields are under a mile out, which matters if you have kids in the dugout on weekends.

JoJack's Espresso Bar & Cafe, also a mile out, handles your morning coffee and doubles as a solid café for working remotely or catching up with a neighbor.
