710 Dinwiddie St, Portsmouth, VA 23704

Why this home stands out

Homes this close to two major installations — with this much square footage and over a century of architectural history behind them — are genuinely rare. At 2,240 square feet, 710 Dinwiddie Street gives you room to spread out without sacrificing the walkable, tight-knit feel of an older Portsmouth neighborhood. The 1900 build year means real craftsmanship: thick walls, distinct proportions, and the kind of bones that modern construction rarely replicates.

OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities, and the area surrounding Dinwiddie Street reflects that depth. The streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century homes that have weathered more than a hundred years of coastal Virginia life — and held up well. You're in the southern tier of the city, close to the waterfront industrial corridor that defines Portsmouth's relationship with the Navy and Coast Guard. Daily errands are manageable on foot or by a short drive, and the broader Olde Towne Portsmouth district — with its antebellum architecture, independent restaurants, and the Portside waterfront — is just minutes away. Portsmouth sits across the Elizabeth River from Norfolk, and the pedestrian ferry makes cross-river trips easy. For anyone looking for a home with genuine roots in the 710 Dinwiddie Street Portsmouth VA 23704 corridor, this block delivers character that newer suburbs simply can't manufacture.

What's nearby

USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each roughly one minute away by car — an almost unbeatable commute for active-duty personnel.

The Elizabeth River Trail offers waterfront walking and cycling paths nearby. Downtown Norfolk is accessible via the Portside ferry or the Downtown Tunnel, putting a full metro core within easy reach on any given afternoon.
