Why this home stands out

Homes built in 1920 carry a kind of bones you simply don't find in newer construction — thick walls, generous room proportions, and architectural details that took craftsmanship rather than a production line. At 1,978 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, 4009 Clifford Street gives you real living space in a city where Portsmouth homes for sale at this size and vintage are genuinely hard to come by. Two major military installations are each a six-minute drive, which matters enormously for scheduling and commute sanity.

WESTHAVEN and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' original port cities, and the 23707 zip code sits in its western residential core — a walkable, established grid of tree-lined streets where neighbors tend to know each other's names. The area has a lived-in authenticity that newer suburbs can't manufacture: front porches, mature landscaping, and a mix of working families and long-term owners who take pride in their blocks. Clifford Street itself is a quiet residential address, close enough to Portsmouth's commercial corridors to feel connected but removed enough to feel like a real neighborhood. The city as a whole is in the middle of a steady revitalization — downtown Portsmouth's waterfront, the arts district, and improved infrastructure are drawing new investment without erasing what made the city worth caring about in the first place. For buyers comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth, the 23707 zip code offers some of the most authentic urban-residential character in the region.

What's nearby

Everyday convenience is genuinely close here. A Walmart Supercenter and a Dollar General are both within 0.4 miles, so a grocery run rarely turns into a production. When you'd rather skip cooking, Sal's Famous NY Pizza and Corner Cafe are each about 0.3 miles away — walkable on a nice evening. Coffee is covered by Corner Cafe and a 7 Brew Coffee location 0.6 miles out. If staying active is part of your routine, Zenya Yoga Studio is just 0.2 miles away and Sports Performance House is 0.3 miles out. Maryview Park, Seaboard Square, and Florida Park are all within a mile for weekend walks or outdoor time.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about six minutes away by car — a commute that's almost unheard of in Hampton Roads. That proximity translates directly into time back in your day and flexibility around shift changes or duty schedules. A VA loan can make a century-old home like this one very accessible, and the 1,978-square-foot layout gives a family real room to spread out.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've been scrolling past cookie-cutter new builds looking for something with actual history, 4009 Clifford Street is worth a serious look. Built in 1920, this is a home that has outlasted trends — thick construction, generous proportions, and the kind of quiet street presence that takes decades to develop. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Manor High School and homes for sale zoned for Westhaven Elementary School will find this address sits in that attendance zone.

More buyer questions

How far is 4009 Clifford Street from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth?

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is approximately six minutes away by car — one of the shortest base commutes available anywhere in the Hampton Roads region. That kind of proximity is a significant quality-of-life factor for active-duty personnel and civilian staff alike.

How far is 4009 Clifford Street from Norfolk Naval Shipyard?

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is also about six minutes from Clifford Street, making this address unusually well-positioned for anyone assigned to either installation. Having two major bases within a six-minute radius is rare even by Hampton Roads standards.

What is the flood zone status for 4009 Clifford Street?

Flood zone designation for this property is displayed in the FloodRisk tile on this page. We recommend reviewing that information and discussing it with your agent before making any decisions.

Is 4009 Clifford Street in an HOA?

Based on available property data, this address does not carry an HOA, which means no monthly association dues or community rule overlays to navigate.

What can you tell me about homes for sale in 23707?

The 23707 zip code covers a well-established residential section of western Portsmouth with a mix of early-twentieth-century and mid-century homes on traditional street grids. It's a zip code where homes for sale in 23707 tend to offer more square footage per dollar than comparable listings in higher-profile Hampton Roads zip codes, with the added benefit of very short drives to multiple military installations.
