302 Chandler Harper Dr, Portsmouth, VA 23701

Why this home stands out

What sets 302 Chandler Harper Drive apart is the combination of lot size and location that's genuinely hard to find in this price tier of Portsmouth. Nearly four-tenths of an acre gives you outdoor breathing room that most mid-century homes in the area simply can't match. The 1958 construction means a brick-era build with the kind of structural character newer subdivisions trade away for speed — and you're still only 11 minutes from both Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard.

GREEN LAKES and the Portsmouth real estate market

Green Lakes is one of Portsmouth's quietly established residential pockets — the kind of neighborhood where lots run generous, streets feel unhurried, and neighbors tend to stay a while. Developed largely through the 1950s and 1960s, the area carries that mid-century suburban character: mature trees, single-story homes set back from the road, and a scale that feels genuinely livable rather than crammed. Portsmouth itself is a city with real depth — a working waterfront, a walkable Olde Towne historic district, and a tight-knit identity that sets it apart from the sprawl you'll find elsewhere in Hampton Roads. As a primary keyword for this address, homes in the Green Lakes neighborhood Portsmouth tend to attract buyers who want proximity to the naval corridor without sacrificing yard space or neighborhood quiet. The city sits at the heart of the Hampton Roads metro, giving you easy access to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk without the commute headaches of living on the fringe.
