About Portsmouth's Port Norfolk

There are many historic neighborhoods in the tidewater, Hampton Roads area of Virginia. One that I particularly like in Port Norfolk in Portsmouth. Here are some of my reasons:

1. Affordable living - home prices are in a great range for our market - I showed a property to a young couple this week that is about $215,000, almost 3,000 square feet, can be a duplex or single family. Wow! what a great price. And potential for historic district tax credits!

2. Character - the homes in this historic district are mostly turn of the century or early-mid 1990s. Very cool construction and architectural features - wood floors, picture rails, front porches, claw-foot tubs,the list goes on!

3. Neighborhood- This waterfront community is great for dog walking, There are playgrounds, schools, and shops in the area. And it is a great location - Just 5 minutes to downtown Norfolk (granted this changes with traffic in the mid-town tunnel) and easy access to highways. Walk or ride your bike to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital...

So, overall, check out the www.portnorfolk.org for more information. Don't miss this:
