Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a home this size is genuinely rare — it means flexibility that most comparably priced properties simply can't match. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest room, or space for a growing household, the layout here gives you real options. The 1943 construction era brings solid bones and architectural details that newer builds tend to leave out, all within a tight six-minute drive of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.
WATERVIEW and the Portsmouth real estate market
High Street sits in one of Portsmouth's older residential corridors — the kind of block where houses have stories and neighbors actually know each other. The area carries the relaxed, lived-in character that defines much of western Portsmouth: tree-lined streets, modest front yards, and a genuine sense of community that newer subdivisions spend years trying to manufacture. Portsmouth itself is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities, offering direct access to the region's military and medical employment hubs, a revitalized downtown waterfront, and commute routes that connect you to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk without the gridlock. The city's Historic Olde Towne district is just a few miles east, adding cultural texture and dining variety to everyday life. For buyers who want established character over cookie-cutter construction, Portsmouth delivers — and 3813 High Street sits right in the middle of it.
What's nearby
Daily errands are easy from High Street. Dollar General is just 0.4 miles away, A & A Seafood Market and Fast 5 Grocery & Deli are both within 0.8 miles for fresh and specialty picks. When you want to eat out, Mockingbird Pasta Bar, Corner Cafe, and Hometown Diner are all within six-tenths of a mile. Corner Cafe also pulls double duty as a coffee stop. Fitness is covered by DCo at 0.5 miles, Zenya Yoga Studio at 0.9 miles, and Sports Performance House at 1.0 mile. Green space is close too — Maryview Park is 0.6 miles out, with Franklin Circle Park and the Links at City Park both under a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Six minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and seven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth makes 3813 High Street one of the more strategically located addresses in the city for dual-service households or medical command staff. Five bedrooms give you the space to host visiting family during PCS transitions, and Portsmouth's central position in Hampton Roads keeps every major base within a manageable commute. A VA loan can make the path to ownership here straightforward.
For first-time buyers
If you've been watching the market and wondering whether a five-bedroom home is actually within reach, 3813 High Street is worth a serious look. The 1943 construction means character you'd pay a premium for elsewhere, and the walkable access to grocery, dining, and parks means you're not dependent on a car for everyday life. Portsmouth's established neighborhoods offer the kind of stability that makes a first purchase feel like a smart long-term decision.
