Why this home stands out

What sets 616 Lake Shores Drive apart is the combination of genuine square footage — 2,614 feet spread across five bedrooms — and an unbeatable position in Portsmouth that puts two major military installations within a single-digit drive. The half-bath adds practical flexibility for a busy household, and the 2001 build year means you get a modern floor plan without the quirks of an older home. Three parks within a three-minute walk round out the picture.

LAKE SHORES and the Portsmouth real estate market

616 Lake Shores Drive sits in Portsmouth, Virginia, a city with deep naval roots and a surprisingly walkable, close-knit character in this pocket of town. The surrounding streets feel established without feeling frozen in time — sidewalks connect you to green space almost immediately, and the mix of neighbors tends to reflect the city's blend of long-time residents and military families cycling through the area. Portsmouth carries a sense of place that newer suburbs often lack: real corner spots, local eateries, and parks that people actually use. The city borders Norfolk and Chesapeake, which means you get easy access to the broader Hampton Roads metro while still coming home to a neighborhood with its own identity. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth anchors the local economy and shapes the community's rhythm in a way that makes the area especially welcoming to service members and their families.

What's nearby

Daily life is genuinely easy from Lake Shores Drive. Franklin Circle Park is a one-minute walk, Florida Park is two minutes away, and Maryview Park is just down the road — three green spaces before you even reach the quarter-mile mark. For groceries, Fast 5 Grocery & Deli, A & A Seafood Market, and Bean Oriental Grocery are all within 0.4 miles, giving you real variety close to home. Twisted Pig Ale & Smokehouse and Cooper's Restaurant and Lounge are both within 0.3 miles for dinner out. When you need a morning coffee, Corner Cafe and ZandyLu Brew & Bakery are both under a mile. DCo gym is 0.6 miles away if you prefer to keep workouts close.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is four minutes from your front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is six. For families who need predictable commutes and the option to use a VA loan, 616 Lake Shores Drive checks both boxes. Five bedrooms give everyone room to settle in, and the walkable parks nearby mean kids have somewhere to go the day you arrive.

For families upgrading

Five bedrooms and 2,614 square feet give a growing family genuine breathing room — enough space for a dedicated home office, a guest room, and still have bedrooms left over. Three parks within a short walk mean the backyard isn't the only outdoor option. Add a half-bath for the busy-morning rush and you have a floor plan that actually fits how families live day to day.
