Welcome to Sterling Point located in the Northwest section of Portsmouth. This is a wonderful parklike setting with some homes snuggled along the fingerlets and tall pines along the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River.
Sterling Point, Green Acres and Pinehurst, as the geographical area is referred, was developed in the late 1940's and 1950's. Most of the homes are substantial brick homes built on crawl spaces with lots from 1/4th of an acre to some lots over an acre. One of the close-by landmarks was Coleman's nursery. The neighborhood is beautifully landscaped with lush plantings and greenery of all sorts. The area still has some of the original homeowners, however, it is slowly transforming into a very desireable area for young families as witnessed by many moms and dads out jogging or bike riding with babies and tottlers. It is not uncommon to note play gyms in the various yards. Some homes in the area are nestled around
This area of Portsmouth is often referred to as the Churchland area. It is my belief that the high school for the area is Churchland High School. It is conveniently located near Maryview Hospital and other medical faciilities, shopping is close-by on down High Street.
I would welcome any comments regarding the area pluses and also minuses, if any.
