3200 Arlington Pl, Portsmouth, VA 23707

Why this home stands out

Two bases within five minutes is rare — Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are both a short drive away. Groceries, coffee, and fast-casual dining are essentially at the front door. The 1941 build date gives the home a classic mid-century bones that newer construction simply cannot replicate. Add four bedrooms to a sub-1,600-square-foot footprint and you get a tight, efficient floor plan with real bedroom count.

WESTHAVEN PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Arlington Place sits in a quiet pocket of western Portsmouth, a city with deep roots in American naval history. The streets here are lined with mid-century homes, many of them well-maintained originals from the 1940s and 1950s. Sidewalks connect the block to a commercial corridor that handles most daily needs without a highway on-ramp. Portsmouth itself spans the southern bank of the Elizabeth River, directly across from Norfolk. The city is compact and navigable — most cross-town trips run under 20 minutes. Downtown Portsmouth has a working waterfront, independent restaurants, and a small-boat harbor that draws weekend crowds. Getting around is straightforward: I-264 and US-58 both connect quickly to the broader Hampton Roads network. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth will notice that the 23707 zip code sits unusually close to both employment and recreation. The neighborhood feels residential and grounded, not transitional.
