Portsmouth Heights: A Residential Area of the Naval Shipyard City
Portsmouth Heights is a neighborhood within the independent city of Portsmouth on the south side of the Elizabeth River. The area sits inland from the waterfront where Norfolk Naval Shipyard operates, a facility that traces its continuous operation back to 1767 and is the oldest such yard in the United States. The shipyard handles repair, maintenance, and modernization of nuclear-powered submarines and surface combatants.
Portsmouth itself faces Norfolk directly across the river, with the two cities connected by the Midtown Tunnel and the Downtown Tunnel. The High Street corridor through downtown Portsmouth includes the Commodore Theatre, a 1945 art deco cinema still operating as a dinner theater, and the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center a short distance away, which serves as the primary military hospital for the Hampton Roads fleet.
Residential streets in Portsmouth Heights reflect mid-century single-family development typical of a shipyard workforce city. The area feeds into Portsmouth Public Schools and is served by Hampton Roads Transit bus routes running toward the downtown waterfront.
