Why this home stands out

Four bedrooms and three full baths in a 1955 home is a combination that's genuinely hard to find in this price tier of Portsmouth. The square footage is efficient without feeling tight, and the three-bath count means mornings don't require a schedule. Add a four-minute drive to two separate major installations and you have an address that checks boxes most buyers spend months chasing.

MOUNT HERMON and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' original cities — a place where mid-century neighborhoods still have the bones and the block culture that newer subdivisions try to replicate. The 23707 zip code sits on the western side of the city, close to the waterfront industrial heritage that defines Portsmouth's identity. Streets here are established, lots are real-sized, and neighbors tend to stay. If you're browsing homes for sale in Portsmouth and you want proximity to the action without paying Virginia Beach prices, this part of the city consistently delivers. The Phillips Avenue address specifically puts you in a quiet residential stretch that feels removed from the bustle even though two of Hampton Roads' most important military and medical installations are literally minutes away. Portsmouth rewards buyers who look past the surface — the infrastructure, the history, and the access are all here.

What's nearby

Daily life runs smoothly from Phillips Avenue. Groceries, pharmacies, and everyday errands are all within a short drive along the city's main corridors. The Elizabeth River Trail offers waterfront walking and cycling within easy reach, and downtown Portsmouth's restaurants and coffee shops are a quick trip across the neighborhood. Norfolk's Ghent district and its dining scene are reachable in under fifteen minutes. For families comparing homes for sale in 23707, the concentration of parks, waterfront access, and urban amenities in this part of Portsmouth is a genuine draw that doesn't require a long commute to enjoy.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Four minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and four minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard — it's rare to find an address this close to two major installations at once. A four-bedroom, three-bath layout gives growing military families real room to spread out, and a VA loan makes this type of 1955 construction straightforward to finance. Short-tour or long-tour, the commute math here is hard to argue with.

For families upgrading

Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Norcom High School and homes for sale zoned for Westhaven Elementary School will find 519 Phillips Avenue worth a close look. Four bedrooms means everyone gets a room, three full baths means no morning bottlenecks, and the established neighborhood means kids can actually walk the block. The 1955 build date brings character that newer construction simply can't manufacture.

More buyer questions

How far is 519 Phillips Avenue from Naval Medical Center Portsmouth?

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is approximately four minutes away by car — one of the shortest base commutes you'll find anywhere in Hampton Roads. That proximity is a consistent draw for medical staff and military personnel stationed there.

How far is 519 Phillips Avenue from Norfolk Naval Shipyard?

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is also about four minutes from Phillips Avenue, making this address genuinely rare — two major installations within the same four-minute radius is not something most Portsmouth addresses can claim.

Is 519 Phillips Avenue in a flood zone?

Flood zone designation for this address is detailed in the FloodRisk tile on this page — check that section for the current FEMA map classification and what it means for insurance requirements.

What is the square footage and layout of 519 Phillips Avenue?

The home offers 1,765 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths, built in 1955. The three-bath count relative to the square footage is one of this property's most practical advantages.

Does 519 Phillips Avenue have an HOA?

There is no HOA associated with this address, which means no monthly association fees or deed restrictions layered on top of ownership — a detail worth noting for buyers who want full flexibility with their property.
