Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Homes built in the 1930s carry a construction quality and architectural personality that newer subdivisions rarely replicate — thick plaster walls, generous room proportions, and details that were built to last. At 87 Farragut Street, you get that historic bones advantage in a city that has invested steadily in its older neighborhoods, putting you close to the water, the shipyard, and the heart of coastal Hampton Roads.

CRADOCK and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of the original cities of Hampton Roads, and Farragut Street sits in the southern reaches of a city that wears its history proudly. The streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century homes, and the broader Portsmouth community has seen genuine reinvestment over the past decade — from the revitalized Olde Towne waterfront district to improved parks and local dining. Living in Portsmouth means you're connected to the entire region: the Elizabeth River runs along the city's eastern edge, the Downtown Portsmouth ferry links you to Norfolk in minutes, and Interstate 264 and the Midtown Tunnel put the rest of Hampton Roads within easy reach. The primary keyword for this page — Portsmouth Virginia homes near Norfolk Naval Shipyard — reflects exactly what 87 Farragut delivers: a real, rooted address in a city with genuine identity, not a cookie-cutter suburb, at one of the shortest commute distances to the shipyard you'll find anywhere in the region.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from Farragut Street. A Walmart Supercenter sits just over a mile away for groceries and household needs, and several dollar and discount stores fill in the gaps for quick runs. The Medical Center Boulevard corridor puts pharmacy options and urgent care within a short drive. Pee Dee's BBQ and other local spots along Frederick Boulevard give you neighborhood dining without the drive across the bridge. Churchland Park and nearby recreation areas offer open space, and the Portsmouth City Marina and waterfront boardwalk are only a few minutes east — a genuinely nice place to spend a weekend afternoon.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Norfolk Naval Shipyard is five minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is six — it's hard to find a home in Hampton Roads with a shorter combined commute to two active installations. For a military family weighing duty station proximity against housing options, 87 Farragut Street lands in a rare spot. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the drive times leave real time in your day for everything else that matters.

For buyers drawn to character

If you've toured newer construction and felt like something was missing, 87 Farragut Street answers that feeling. Built in 1933, the home has the proportions, the craftsmanship signals, and the streetscape context that only age can produce. Portsmouth's older neighborhoods have held onto their architectural identity in ways that many Hampton Roads cities haven't, and a home like this — three bedrooms, two and a half baths, nearly 1,800 square feet — gives you room to live without sacrificing the character you're looking for.
