545 Maryland Ave, Portsmouth, VA 23707

Why this home stands out

What sets 545 Maryland Avenue apart is its location. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about 3 minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is roughly 5 minutes out. That kind of proximity is rare. The 1946 build date means solid mid-century bones — the kind of construction that holds up decade after decade. Two full baths and three bedrooms fit a lot of daily life into 1,402 square feet.

PORT NORFOLK and the Portsmouth real estate market

It is the kind of neighborhood where people know their neighbors. The area sits within the 23707 zip code, one of Portsmouth's older and more established corners. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23707 will notice how close this part of the city puts you to everything. Portsmouth itself is a working waterfront city with a lot of history packed into it.

Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 and Highway 58 are both nearby.
