Living in Portsmouth

Along the eastern side of the Elizabeth River, many Portsmouth locals enjoy beautiful views of downtown Norfolk across the water. Connected by the Berkley Bridge, a pair of tunnels (Midtown and Downtown), and a passenger ferry service, the two communities are closely linked. Portsmouth has a long and rich history as a port town with the city’s Olde Towne Business and Historical District, located downtown, drawing the community together while supporting visitation with a concerted combination of preservation and redevelopment.
