Why this home stands out
What sets 5221 Bingham Drive apart is the combination of lot size and location that's genuinely hard to find at this price point in Belvedere. A 0.31-acre lot gives you real outdoor space — room to spread out, garden, or simply breathe — while the 1,862 square feet of interior living space means the home itself isn't sacrificing comfort for that yard. Add two full baths and a 1964 build that carries the solid bones of mid-century construction, and this address checks a lot of boxes.
BELVEDERE and the Portsmouth real estate market
Belvedere is one of Portsmouth's quieter, established residential pockets — the kind of neighborhood where streets are lined with mature trees and neighbors actually know each other's names. Developed primarily in the 1950s and 1960s, the area has a settled, unhurried character that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Lots tend to be generous, homes are well-spaced, and the overall feel leans toward classic suburban comfort without the cookie-cutter sameness of newer construction. Portsmouth itself is a city that rewards people who take the time to explore it. Sitting across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, it offers waterfront parks, a historic downtown district, and a tight-knit community identity. The Churchland corridor — which Belvedere sits close to — adds everyday convenience to the mix, with groceries, restaurants, and services all within a short drive. For military households, Portsmouth's proximity to multiple installations makes it one of the most strategically located cities in all of Hampton Roads for managing a busy service life.
What's nearby
Everyday errands are genuinely easy from 5221 Bingham Drive. Food Lion is just 0.6 miles away, with ALDI and Harris Teeter both under a mile — so you've got options for every shopping style. When you'd rather someone else do the cooking, Harvey's Hot Dogs, Billy D's Seafood & Chicken, and Philly Breakfast Spot are all within 0.7 miles. Start your morning at JoJack's Espresso Bar & Cafe, also 0.7 miles out, or grab a quick cup at Starbucks Coffee Company nearby. Planet Fitness and the Portsmouth YMCA are both under a mile for your workouts, and Churchland Little League Baseball Fields sits just 0.4 miles away — perfect if you've got young athletes at home.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to NSA Northwest Annex and nine minutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth — that's the kind of commute that makes a real difference when you're juggling duty schedules, appointments, and family life. Belvedere puts you close to two major installations without sacrificing neighborhood quality, and the 0.31-acre lot gives the whole family room to decompress between deployments. A VA loan can make this address even more accessible for qualifying service members.
For families upgrading
If you're ready to trade up to a home with actual outdoor space, the 0.31-acre lot at 5221 Bingham Drive is a compelling reason to look closely. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,862 square feet give a growing family room to breathe inside, while the yard opens up possibilities — playset, garden, firepit, or just grass to run around on. Belvedere's established, low-traffic streets add to the family-friendly appeal.
