3410 Nelson St, Portsmouth, VA 23707

Why this home stands out

What sets 3410 Nelson Street apart is its dual-base proximity — Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each a five-minute drive — combined with a walkable corridor of grocery, dining, and green space that few Portsmouth addresses can match. The 1941 construction gives the home a solidity and character that newer tract builds simply don't replicate, and four bedrooms in this square footage means every room earns its keep.

WESTHAVEN and the Portsmouth real estate market

Westhaven is one of Portsmouth's established residential pockets — a grid-street neighborhood where sidewalks connect you to everyday life without a car trip. The streets here have a settled, unhurried feel: mature trees, front porches, and neighbors who have been around long enough to wave hello. Portsmouth itself sits at the heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and connected by tunnel and bridge to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk. It's a working waterfront city with deep Navy roots, a growing arts district, and a genuine sense of place. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth often land here because the combination of location, community character, and access to military installations is hard to beat anywhere in the region. The 23707 zip code covers a compact, navigable slice of the city where you're never far from what you need.
