Why this home stands out
What sets 3708 Greenwood Drive apart is its combination of pre-war character and unbeatable proximity to two of Hampton Roads' largest military installations. Cavalier Manor is a well-established Portsmouth neighborhood with mature trees and a genuine sense of community — the kind of place where neighbors know each other's names.

CAVALIER MANOR and the Portsmouth real estate market
Cavalier Manor sits in the heart of Portsmouth, Virginia — a city with deep naval roots, a walkable Olde Towne historic district, and a waterfront that looks out across the Elizabeth River toward Norfolk. The neighborhood itself has the feel of a classic mid-century community: modest lots, established landscaping, and streets that have housed generations of families and service members alike. Portsmouth homes for sale in Cavalier Manor tend to attract buyers who value location over flash — people who want quick access to the shipyard, the medical center, and everyday amenities without paying a premium for newer construction. The area sits in the southern portion of the city, putting I-264 and Military Highway within a reasonable drive for commutes in any direction. It's the kind of neighborhood where the infrastructure is already in place — roads, parks, shops — and the community has a settled, lived-in character that newer subdivisions simply haven't had time to develop.
