Waterview, located between the Elizabeth River waterfront and Downtown Portsmouth, is a residential and waterfront Portsmouth neighborhood with riverfront views and a walkable street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around High Street near the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard gates, where lunch counters, corner markets, and working-waterfront rhythms set the tone. Brick rowhouses and compact single-family homes sit alongside small apartment buildings, giving the blocks a layered, historic feel. The seawall paths and pocket greens keep the river close in daily routines. Community pillars include the Portsmouth Art & Cultural Center, the Commodore Theatre, and the Children’s Museum of Virginia. Ferry rides and harbor traffic add a steady sense of motion across the water.
