Why this home stands out
What sets 413 Bobby Jones Drive apart is the combination of lot size and location that's genuinely hard to find in this price tier of Portsmouth. A 0.35-acre lot gives you real outdoor space — room to spread out, garden, or simply breathe — while the established Stewart Manor neighborhood wraps you in the kind of quiet, tree-lined character that newer subdivisions spend decades trying to grow into. Four bedrooms in a 1962 ranch means solid bones and a flexible floor plan.
STEWART MANOR and the Portsmouth real estate market
Stewart Manor is one of those Portsmouth neighborhoods that rewards the buyer who takes a closer look. Developed primarily in the late 1950s and early 1960s, it carries the hallmarks of mid-century residential planning: wider lots, mature trees, and streets that feel genuinely lived-in rather than freshly stamped from a cookie cutter. The homes here are mostly single-family ranches and split-levels, and neighbors tend to stay — which gives the area a settled, community-oriented feel. Portsmouth itself sits at the geographic heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and connected to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk by a network of bridges and tunnels. The city has invested steadily in its parks, waterfront, and historic districts, and its central position makes it one of the most practical addresses in the region for anyone who moves between multiple employment hubs or installations. Daily life in Stewart Manor is low-key in the best way — residential streets, accessible amenities, and a short hop to everything the broader Portsmouth metro offers.
