Why this home stands out
What sets 723 Washington Street apart is its rare combination of newer construction — built in 2011 — inside one of Hampton Roads' most storied historic neighborhoods. You get the solid bones and modern systems of a 21st-century build while walking out your front door into brick sidewalks, century-old architecture, and a genuinely walkable urban grid that most of the region simply can't offer.
OLDE TOWNE and the Portsmouth real estate market
Portsmouth's Olde Towne neighborhood is one of the oldest and most architecturally intact urban districts in Virginia, and 723 Washington Street sits right in the middle of it. The streets here are lined with Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian-era homes, and the whole area carries a sense of place that took generations to build. For anyone weighing city versus suburbs, Olde Towne makes the urban case convincingly — coffee shops, parks, restaurants, and fitness studios are all within a few blocks, and you can reach two major military installations in under two minutes by car. Portsmouth itself is a full-service independent city in Hampton Roads, bordered by the Elizabeth River and connected to Norfolk by the Downtown Tunnel and the Midtown Tunnel. It's a city with real history, active civic life, and a waterfront that's been drawing residents for centuries. The 23704 zip code puts you squarely in the action — close to everything without the noise of a downtown core.
What's nearby
Daily life from 723 Washington Street is genuinely convenient. OLDE TOWNE FOOD MART is 0.1 miles away for quick grocery runs, with Bier Garden Gift Shop & Market and Simply Southern Market of Hampton Roads both within three blocks. When it's time to eat, Sun's Sub & Pub, Yoolks On Us, and Griff's Restaurant & Sports are all within a short walk. Cure and Olde Towne Coffee are your neighborhood coffee anchors, both under a third of a mile. For fitness, the Effingham Street Family YMCA and Movement Studio VA are 0.2 miles out. Columbia Court, Courthouse Square, and Worthington Square give you green space options in every direction — all within a quarter mile.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about one minute from the front door — it's hard to find a location in Hampton Roads that serves both installations this well. Whether you're using a VA loan or weighing your BAH options, the commute math here is about as favorable as it gets. Two bases, one address, zero traffic headaches.
For buyers drawn to character
If you've spent time wondering about the difference between urban and suburban and rural living, 723 Washington Street answers the question in the most tangible way possible. You're in a neighborhood with real history, real walkability, and real architectural character — plus a home built in 2011 that doesn't ask you to trade modern comfort for charm. That combination is genuinely uncommon.
