Why this home stands out
What sets 3900 Clifford Street apart is the combination of genuine 1940s character — the kind of craftsmanship that simply isn't replicated in newer construction — with a floorplan that stretches to four bedrooms and three full baths across 2,000 square feet. That's meaningful space for the price point this neighborhood typically commands, and the proximity to not one but two major military facilities makes the location genuinely hard to beat in Portsmouth.
WESTHAVEN and the Portsmouth real estate market
WESTHAVEN is one of Portsmouth's established residential pockets, where tree-lined streets and mid-century homes give the area a settled, lived-in character that newer subdivisions rarely achieve. Portsmouth itself sits at the heart of Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and connected to Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk by a web of bridges and tunnels. For buyers browsing seaside homes for sale across the region, Portsmouth often surprises — the city delivers waterfront proximity and urban convenience at a scale that feels genuinely neighborly rather than overwhelming. WESTHAVEN specifically sits close to the western edge of the city, which means quick access to both the waterfront and the major employment corridors along the shipyard. The neighborhood draws a mix of long-time Portsmouth families and newcomers who appreciate the solid housing stock, the mature landscaping, and the straightforward grid of streets that makes getting around intuitive. Portsmouth's arts district, its historic Olde Towne quarter, and the downtown waterfront are all a short drive from Clifford Street.
What's nearby
Daily life runs smoothly from this address. A Walmart Supercenter is just half a mile away for full grocery runs, and a Dollar General sits even closer at 0.4 miles for quick top-offs. Corner Cafe is only 0.3 miles out — a handy spot for coffee or a casual bite — and Sal's Famous NY Pizza is equally close when you want something delivered to the doorstep. For a dedicated coffee stop, 7 Brew Coffee is 0.6 miles away. Fitness options are right there too: Zenya Yoga Studio and Sports Performance House are both within 0.3 miles. Maryview Park at 0.7 miles and Florida Park at 1.0 mile give you green space for walks, runs, and weekend downtime.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each roughly six minutes from 3900 Clifford Street — a commute that's genuinely rare to find. For service members weighing BAH and looking to put a VA loan to work, this address checks the location box without compromise. Four bedrooms and three baths means the whole family has room, and the neighborhood's stability makes it a solid long-term anchor.
For families upgrading
If you're stepping up from a smaller home and need four real bedrooms plus three full baths, 3900 Clifford Street delivers that space in a neighborhood with genuine roots. The 0.15-acre lot gives kids and pets room to move, and the 1940 construction means the bones are solid — thick walls, real hardwood-era craftsmanship, and a presence on the street that newer builds simply don't have. WESTHAVEN's proximity to parks and everyday retail keeps the pace manageable.
