An affordable waterfront community with ample ways to enjoy the outdoors
From strolls in the park to boating on the Elizabeth River, living in Park Manor, a suburban waterfront community of Portsmouth, provides residents with abundant recreation without breaking the bank. Though a larger neighborhood, homeowners value its know-your-neighbor vibe, which can be felt at events hosted by the city. “I like where I live because of the community,” says Cathy Hartry, a resident who works at Hartung Gallery & Art Supplies, a business located in the neighborhood.
Picnics at Portsmouth City Park
A staple of the community is Portsmouth City Park, where many locals spend an afternoon outside. Visitors enjoy fishing for striped bass in the Elizabeth River, thanks to its public boat ramp, and attending outdoor movie nights during the summer. “I used to take my grandkids there all the time,” says Hartry. “There are always people having picnics on the grass there.” Residents also enjoy attending weekend Olive Branch Little League baseball games on the fields along Clifford Street and racing go-karts nearby at LeMans Karting. The Elizabeth Manor Golf & Country Club also boasts a social setting, offering private access to an 18-hole par 70 championship course, a swimming pool and year-round tennis courts.
The homes of Park Manor
With its desirable riverfront location, many residents in Park Manor have private piers and boat docks for convenient access to sailing and fishing. Its homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s in Cape Cod and Colonial styles. Each features one-car driveways and abundant trees adorning both front and back yards. Living in Park Manor is cost-effective, with prices ranging from $215,000 for modest homes and up to $450,000 for homes sitting on the water. “It’s one of the most equitable markets with affordable waterfront properties,” says Michael Amory, a Realtor with BHHS RW Towne Realty who has sold almost 20 homes in the community.
Portsmouth traditions
Locals head to Festival Park downtown for Portsmouth citywide events like the Annual Umoja Festival, one of Virginia’s longest-running events, celebrating African American history and culture. Meanwhile, live jazz and blues music can be appreciated under the stars at the Sunset Thursdays series during the summer.
Pizza to go and breakfast at Yoolks On Us
Portsmouth Boulevard runs through Park Manor and is home to several fast-food chains, local eateries and Food Lion for quick grocery trips. Residents catch up with friends over breakfast at Yoolks On Us, a Southern comfort-style restaurant, and pick up slices from East Side Pizza. “It is a popular spot amongst locals and is usually pretty busy,” says Hartry. Retail therapy is found along walks through Victoria Crossing, home to Shoppers World, Lowes, DTLR and several other stores.
Robotics at Hodges Manor Elementary School
Young students take classes at Hodges Manor Elementary School, which maintains a C on Niche and offers a Lego Robotics Team for students interested in STEM-based extracurriculars. Older students head to William E. Waters Middle School, which has a B-minus on Niche and Manor High School, which has been given a C-plus grade.
Commuting from Park Manor
Those making the daily commute into downtown Norfolk for work can reach the area in a 5.8-mile drive via I-264 East, which also carries travelers to Norfolk International Airport, just 9 miles farther out. The hospital at Bon Secours Medical Center is closer to home, a 2.2-mile trip along Airline Boulevard and classes at Tidewater Community College, which sits less than a mile away, off Victory Boulevard.
