Why this home stands out

What sets 4 May Street apart is the combination of lot size and location that's hard to find in this price tier. A 0.22-acre parcel in an established neighborhood gives you real outdoor space — room for a garden, a fire pit, or just breathing room between you and the neighbors. The 1941 construction means solid craftsmanship and a floor plan that actually flows, not the chopped-up layouts common in newer entry-level builds. Two full baths round out a package that punches above its square footage.

HIGHLAND BILTMORE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Highland Biltmore is one of those Portsmouth neighborhoods that rewards people who take the time to look. The streets are lined with mid-century homes that have aged gracefully, and the lots are noticeably larger than what you'll find in newer subdivisions across the region. There's a settled, unhurried quality to the block — neighbors who know each other, mature trees, and sidewalks that actually get used. Portsmouth itself is a city with serious character: a working waterfront, a compact and walkable Olde Towne historic district, and a genuine sense of place that newer developments simply can't manufacture. For anyone comparing Portsmouth homes for sale, Highland Biltmore consistently delivers more lot and more architectural personality per dollar than comparable pockets across Hampton Roads. The 23702 zip code sits in the southern half of the city, well-connected to both the naval corridor and the broader metro.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands from 4 May Street are straightforward. Grocery options, pharmacies, and fast-casual dining are all within a short drive along the city's main commercial corridors. Churchland and the surrounding area add additional retail depth. For green space, the city's park system offers accessible options nearby. Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth are each about six minutes away — a commute that most Hampton Roads service members would consider exceptional. The Downtown Portsmouth waterfront and Olde Towne are also within easy reach, giving you weekend dining and events without a long drive.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Six minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and six minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth — that's the kind of commute that changes your quality of life on deployment cycles and duty-day schedules alike. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the 0.22-acre lot gives families room to settle in for a full tour of duty without feeling cramped. Highland Biltmore is a stable, established neighborhood that holds up well across PCS cycles.

For first-time buyers

If you're weighing homes for sale in 23702, 4 May Street makes a compelling case for this zip code. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and a 0.22-acre lot in an established neighborhood — that's a meaningful starting point. The 1941 construction gives you real walls and real rooms, and the lot size leaves room to grow into the property over time. Highland Biltmore is the kind of neighborhood where first-time ownership actually feels like ownership.
