Why this home stands out
What sets 3900 Clifford Street apart is the combination of genuine 1940s character — the kind of craftsmanship and proportions you simply don't find in newer construction — paired with four full bedrooms and three baths spread across 2,000 square feet. That's a rare footprint for the era. Add two military bases within a six-minute drive and a walkable cluster of shops and eateries right outside your door, and this address checks a lot of boxes at once.
WESTHAVEN and the Portsmouth real estate market
Westhaven is one of Portsmouth's established residential pockets — a grid of tree-lined streets where mid-century homes sit on modest lots and neighbors tend to know each other's names. The area has a lived-in, unpretentious character that appeals to people who want a real neighborhood rather than a planned subdivision. Portsmouth itself carries centuries of maritime history, and that identity shows up in the architecture, the waterfront, and the community pride you'll notice throughout the city. As an independent city in Hampton Roads, Portsmouth sits directly across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, giving residents easy access to the broader metro while maintaining its own distinct personality. The city has been investing steadily in its downtown core and medical district, both of which are close to Westhaven. For anyone weighing a home in the 3900 Clifford Street Portsmouth VA 23707 corridor, the neighborhood offers a grounded, central location that connects quickly to work, recreation, and the wider region.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from 3900 Clifford Street. Sal's Famous NY Pizza and Corner Cafe are both within 0.3 miles — solid options for a quick dinner or a morning coffee without getting in the car. A 7-Eleven sits at the same distance for late-night essentials. Grocery runs are covered by a Walmart Supercenter at half a mile and a Dollar General just 0.4 miles out. When you want to move your body, Zenya Yoga Studio and Sports Performance House are both under a third of a mile away. Maryview Park is 0.7 miles out for open-air time, with Seaboard Square and Florida Park rounding out the green-space options within a mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about six minutes from the front door — a commute that's hard to beat anywhere in Hampton Roads. For active-duty households juggling duty schedules and family life, that kind of proximity matters. A VA loan can make a home like this especially accessible, and the four-bedroom layout gives growing families real room to spread out.
For first-time buyers
Four bedrooms and three baths in a 1940s home with real square footage is a strong starting point for a first purchase. Westhaven's established, lower-key character means you're buying into a stable neighborhood rather than a speculative one. The walkable errands, nearby parks, and short drives to two military bases make 3900 Clifford Street a practical, well-rounded choice for someone planting roots in Portsmouth for the first time.
