4809 Mallard Cres, Portsmouth, VA 23703

Why this home stands out

What sets 4809 Mallard Crescent apart is that double proximity to two major installations — NSA Northwest Annex and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth — each a seven-minute drive away. For households with one or two service members, that kind of commute math is hard to beat. Add four bedrooms, three full baths, and a footprint that gives everyone room to spread out, and this 1968 single-family home earns a second look from almost any buyer profile.

HUNTERS POINT and the Portsmouth real estate market

Mallard Crescent sits in the Churchland corridor of Portsmouth, a well-established part of the city where mid-century neighborhoods line up along quiet residential streets. The 23703 zip code has a settled, community-rooted feel — the kind of area where neighbors recognize each other and front yards get tended. Portsmouth itself straddles the Elizabeth River across from Norfolk, giving residents easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro while keeping a distinctly local character. The city's waterfront, its historic Olde Towne district, and its network of parks are all within reach. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth often land in Churchland specifically because the area balances suburban calm with genuine convenience — groceries, gyms, baseball fields, and two military installations are all within a short drive of Mallard Crescent.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands and recreation are well within reach. The Portsmouth YMCA is just 0.7 miles away — close enough to make a morning workout a realistic habit rather than a commute. Churchland Little League Baseball Fields are 0.9 miles out, which means spring and summer evenings can revolve around the diamond without much effort. For broader shopping, dining, and services, the Churchland commercial corridor along Route 17 keeps most needs covered quickly. And with NSA Northwest Annex and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth both seven minutes away, the practical geography of daily life here is genuinely efficient.
