829 Lincoln St, Portsmouth, VA 23704

Why this home stands out

A century-old home with five bedrooms is hard to find at this scale. The 1915 build date means thick walls, tall ceilings, and a floor plan that gives every room breathing room. Norfolk Naval Shipyard sits less than a mile away — about as close as it gets. USCG Base Portsmouth is two minutes in the other direction. Few addresses in the 23704 zip code sit this squarely between two active installations.

PRENTIS PARK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Lincoln Street sits in a historic pocket of Portsmouth where early-twentieth-century homes line wide, tree-shaded streets. The housing stock here runs toward two-story frame houses with front porches and deep lots. It is a walkable, established part of the city with a genuine neighborhood feel. Portsmouth itself is one of the seven cities of Hampton Roads. It sits on the western bank of the Elizabeth River, directly across from Norfolk. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 264 connects you east toward Norfolk and Virginia Beach, and the Downtown Tunnel puts you on the other side of the river in minutes. The city has its own waterfront, its own historic district, and a compact downtown that is steadily adding new life. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth will notice that the Lincoln Street corridor offers rare proximity to both the shipyard and the water.
