4901 Clintwood Dr, Portsmouth, VA 23703

Why this home stands out

Built in 1955, this three-bedroom, one-bath home carries the sturdy construction that mid-century Portsmouth neighborhoods are known for — generous square footage for the era, a straightforward single-story layout, and a lot that gives you real outdoor space. What sets Clintwood Drive apart is the location: two major military installations within eight minutes, a YMCA two-tenths of a mile away, and everyday conveniences close enough to reach without getting on a highway.

WESTWOOD and the Portsmouth real estate market

Clintwood Drive sits in the Churchland area of Portsmouth — a well-established part of the city where the streets are wide, the lots are generous, and neighbors tend to stay for years. Churchland has the feel of a community that grew up organically rather than being developed all at once, which means you get a mix of mature trees, mid-century homes with real character, and a pace of life that doesn't feel rushed. Portsmouth itself is one of the seven cities of Hampton Roads, sitting on the western bank of the Elizabeth River with deep roots in naval history and a downtown that has been steadily reinvesting in itself. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth will find that the Churchland corridor offers a quieter residential atmosphere while still being well-connected — Interstate 664 is close by, making the broader Hampton Roads region genuinely accessible. The 23703 zip code covers a large swath of western Portsmouth and is one of the more stable, owner-occupied corners of the city.

What's nearby

The Portsmouth YMCA is a two-minute walk from the front door — a genuine convenience for anyone who wants fitness, youth programs, or a pool without a long commute. Churchland Little League Baseball Fields are under a mile away, making weekend games easy. When you're ready to eat, Billy D's Seafood & Chicken and Harvey's Hot Dogs are both about a mile out and represent the kind of no-frills, local spots that neighborhoods like this tend to hold onto for decades. JoJack's Espresso Bar & Cafe is also in that same one-mile radius — a solid neighborhood coffee shop for morning routines or afternoon work sessions.
