Why this home stands out
What sets 3410 Nelson Street apart is its rare dual-base proximity — Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about five minutes away, making this one of the most commute-friendly addresses in the city. Add a walkable Walmart Supercenter, multiple coffee options, and green space all within a half mile, and daily errands practically take care of themselves without ever getting on the highway.
WESTHAVEN and the Portsmouth real estate market
Westhaven sits in the western corridor of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city that punches well above its size when it comes to history, waterfront character, and military heritage. The neighborhood itself is a compact, grid-style community of mid-century homes where sidewalks connect you to everyday conveniences in minutes. Streets here are lined with mature trees and modest, well-kept properties that reflect the working-class pride this part of Portsmouth has always carried. You're close enough to downtown Portsmouth to enjoy its revitalized dining and arts scene along the Elizabeth River waterfront, yet tucked into a quieter residential pocket that doesn't feel like a through-street. The 23707 zip code is one of the most strategically located in Hampton Roads — bordered by two of the region's most significant military installations and connected to Norfolk via the Downtown Tunnel. For anyone planting roots in the area, Westhaven offers genuine neighborhood feel without the premium price tag of waterfront zip codes.
What's nearby
Groceries are essentially a walk away — Walmart Supercenter is just 0.4 miles out, with online pickup options even closer at 0.3 miles. For a quick morning coffee, Dunkin' and Starbucks are both within 0.4 miles, and a 7-Eleven is just around the corner at 0.3 miles. Hungry for something more? Peter Seafood and Chipotle Mexican Grill are both 0.3 miles away. If staying active is part of your routine, Sports Performance House and Zenya Yoga Studio are each 0.3 miles from the front door. Green space is close too — Seaboard Square is 0.5 miles out, Maplewood Park at 0.6 miles, and Kinley Park within a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
With Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard each just five minutes away, 3410 Nelson Street is about as close to base as you can get without living on it. That short commute means more time at home and less time in Hampton Roads traffic. A VA loan can make this four-bedroom home even more accessible — worth running the numbers if you're eligible.
For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 3410 Nelson Street checks a lot of the right boxes — four bedrooms, two baths, a manageable 1,368 square feet, and a walkable location where you won't need to drive for groceries or coffee. The 1941 construction gives the home real character, and the Westhaven neighborhood offers a grounded, established community to grow into.
