Why this home stands out
Very few addresses in Hampton Roads place you this close to both a major military medical center and a walkable, character-rich waterfront neighborhood simultaneously. Worthington Square sits at the intersection of convenience and charm — Crawford Levee Park is 0.1 miles away, Fish & Slips Marina Raw Bar & Grill is practically next door, and the rest of Olde Towne Portsmouth unfolds within a short stroll. For the right household, this location is nearly impossible to replicate.
OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market
Olde Towne Portsmouth is one of the oldest and most architecturally intact urban neighborhoods in Virginia. Brick sidewalks, gas-style streetlamps, and 18th- and 19th-century facades line the streets, yet the neighborhood functions as a genuinely livable, everyday community rather than a museum piece. You're within walking distance of the Elizabeth River waterfront, local markets, coffee shops, and restaurants — the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23704 with real lifestyle value. Portsmouth as a city carries deep naval and maritime history, sitting directly across the Elizabeth River from downtown Norfolk. The city offers a mix of historic neighborhoods, waterfront access, and proximity to every major Hampton Roads military installation. Olde Towne in particular draws people who want urban walkability without the price tag of larger coastal cities, and the 23704 zip code remains one of the most distinctive addresses in the entire region.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is one minute from your front door — and USCG Base Portsmouth is equally close. For active-duty medical personnel or anyone assigned to either installation, the commute essentially disappears. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the walkable Olde Towne neighborhood means a second car may be optional on many days.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've been searching homes for sale in Portsmouth specifically because you want a neighborhood with genuine history and street-level life, Worthington Square delivers. Olde Towne's brick sidewalks, waterfront parks, and locally owned restaurants aren't amenities added after the fact — they're woven into the fabric of a neighborhood that has been exactly this interesting for centuries.
