Why this home stands out

What makes 9 Maurice Ave stand out is the rare combination of walkable daily errands and fast base access. Food Lion and MP International Grocery are within a tenth of a mile, multiple restaurants are essentially at your doorstep, and two major military installations are each under ten minutes by car — a pairing that's genuinely hard to find among Portsmouth homes for sale at this square footage.

SIMONSDALE and the Portsmouth real estate market

Portsmouth is one of Hampton Roads' oldest and most layered cities, and the 23701 zip code sits on the city's south side — a working, lived-in part of town where neighbors tend to know each other and daily life doesn't require a long drive for anything. The streets here are lined with mid-century homes that have real bones, and the blocks around Maurice Ave carry that same character. You're close to the Elizabeth River waterfront, connected to downtown Portsmouth's arts scene and ferry access, and within reach of everything the broader Hampton Roads region offers. Families comparing homes for sale in Portsmouth often notice how much further their budget stretches here compared to neighboring Virginia Beach or Chesapeake — without giving up proximity to bases, parks, or the water.

What's nearby

Groceries are almost effortless from 9 Maurice Ave — Food Lion and MP International Grocery are both within 0.1 miles, and Dollar General is under a mile. When it's time to eat out, Mom & Son Thai Kitchen, Chick N Roll, and Chinese Gourmet Hibachi Express are all essentially around the corner. URBAN ICE is about a mile away for a coffee run. Staying active is easy too: TIGER Academy of Martial Arts is 0.2 miles out, JGee Fitness is under a mile, and Portsmouth Volleyball Center is just 0.2 miles away. Hodges Manor Park and Portsmouth City Park round out the green space options nearby.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about nine minutes from the front door — a commute that's hard to beat anywhere in Hampton Roads. A VA loan pairs naturally with a property at this price point, and the walkable grocery options mean one less errand on a busy duty-day schedule. This is the kind of location that makes the logistics of military life noticeably easier.

For first-time buyers

If you're weighing homes for sale in 23701, 9 Maurice Ave checks a lot of boxes for a first purchase: a manageable 1,300 square feet, a real lot at 0.17 acres, and walkable groceries so you're not burning gas for every errand. The 1940 build means solid construction, and the 2.1 baths make sharing the space much more comfortable than a single-bath alternative at this size.
