Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

313 Constitution Ave is a 1,300-square-foot, three-bedroom home in Portsmouth, Virginia, built in 1950 and sitting just three minutes from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Compact, characterful, and centrally located, it puts two major military installations within a short drive of your front door.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 313 Constitution Ave apart is its rare proximity to not one but two active installations — Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is literally three minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is four. For anyone whose daily life revolves around either facility, that kind of commute is genuinely hard to find. Add a walkable cluster of parks, local restaurants, and grocery options, and this 1950-built home punches well above its square footage in everyday convenience.

SHEA TERRACE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Constitution Ave sits in a mature, established pocket of Portsmouth — one of the oldest cities in Hampton Roads and a place with real bones. The streets here are lined with mid-century homes that have been part of the community for decades, giving the area a grounded, lived-in feel that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Portsmouth itself straddles the Elizabeth River across from Norfolk, and its historic core, working waterfront, and tight-knit neighborhoods have long attracted people who want character over cookie-cutter. This part of the city is walkable in a practical sense — not just a marketing claim. Parks, eateries, and everyday errands are all within a half-mile, and the broader Portsmouth street grid connects you quickly to I-264 and the Downtown Tunnel when you need to range farther across the region.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from Constitution Ave. Della Ray's Cafe and Da Snacc Attacc Restaurant and Lounge are both 0.3 miles away for a quick bite, while Twisted Pig Ale & Smokehouse is just 0.4 miles for something heartier. ZandyLu Brew & Bakery at 0.6 miles is a local favorite for coffee and pastries. Grocery runs are covered by Fast 5 Grocery & Deli, A & A Seafood Market, and Bean Oriental Grocery — all within 0.7 miles. For fresh air, Scotts Creek Park, Florida Park, and Fountain Park form a green triangle within 0.4 miles of the front door.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

If someone in your household works at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth or USCG Base Portsmouth, this address is about as close as it gets — three and four minutes, respectively. That kind of commute means more time at home and less time on the road, which matters a lot when schedules are unpredictable. A VA loan can make the path to ownership here straightforward for eligible service members and veterans.

For buyers drawn to character

Nineteen-fifty construction means real plaster walls, solid bones, and a streetscape that has actual history behind it. This part of Portsmouth has the kind of neighborhood identity that takes generations to build — mature trees, established lots, and neighbors who have been around long enough to know each other's names. If you're drawn to homes with a story rather than a spec sheet, Constitution Ave is worth a serious look.
