Why this home stands out
Built in 2012, this home sits in a sweet spot — modern construction means tighter energy standards, updated systems, and a layout designed for how people actually live today, all without the premium of new construction. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 1,794 square feet give you room to breathe. Add a six-minute commute to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and you have a combination that's genuinely hard to replicate in this part of Portsmouth.
OREGON ACRES and the Portsmouth real estate market
Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most underrated cities — a working waterfront community with deep roots, a revitalized downtown, and a geography that puts you close to everything the region offers. The area around Turnpike Road sits in the western residential fabric of the city, where neighborhoods feel established and everyday errands are genuinely walkable or a short drive away. Streets here have a lived-in character: mature trees, a mix of housing eras, and neighbors who tend to stay put. Portsmouth proper gives you quick access to the Elizabeth River, the historic Olde Towne district, and the broader Hampton Roads highway network — Interstate 264 and Route 58 are both nearby, connecting you to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk without drama. City services, parks, and community amenities are woven throughout, and the city's ongoing investment in its waterfront and commercial corridors continues to add energy to an already solid foundation.

Morning coffee is easy too: Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Starbucks are both under a mile. Fitness options cluster nearby as well — Crunch Fitness, Zenya Yoga Studio, and Sports Performance House are all within 0.6 miles. Maplewood Park and Woodland Park give you green space close to home.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is six minutes from your front door — and so is Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. That kind of dual-base proximity is rare and genuinely valuable during PCS season when every minute of commute time matters. A VA loan can make financing this 2012-built home straightforward, and the layout handles the rhythms of military family life well.
For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 3912 Turnpike Road offers a real advantage: a home built in 2012 means you're not inheriting decades of deferred maintenance or aging systems. Three bedrooms, 1,794 square feet, and a half bath for guests give you room to grow. Portsmouth's price point and this home's proximity to two major employers make it a practical, grounded starting point.
