Sterling King Apartments

Sterling King Apartments, located at 714 Court Street in downtown Portsmouth, Virginia, offers a refined blend of urban convenience and modern luxury. The community provides residents with a warm and comfortable living environment, complemented by the historic charm, walkability, and amenities of Olde Towne Portsmouth just steps away.
The community is comprised of two four-story, elevator-served buildings. Building One, located at 714 Court Street, contains 67 apartment homes and includes the on-site leasing office. Building Two, located at 600 Washington Street, features 460 apartment homes. All residences offer elevated ceiling heights, while select corner and first-floor units include private porches with black aluminum railings designed to evoke classic wrought-iron detailing. Interior finishes are sleek and contemporary, with stainless steel appliances, full-size washers and dryers, modern fixtures, and thoughtful layouts consistent with luxury rental standards.
Residents enjoy a robust suite of amenities, including a fully equipped fitness center, media room, game room, clubroom, internet café, and optional garage parking. These features enhance both convenience and lifestyle, creating a well-rounded residential experience.
Beyond the buildings themselves, Sterling King Apartments played a transformative role in the surrounding area. The development site was acquired from the local Housing Authority and previously housed a gas station that had been demolished more than 20 years earlier. The project required rezoning and the resolution of multiple environmental challenges. Upon completion, the development became a prominent gateway into downtown Portsmouth and achieved strong rental rates and occupancy, reinforcing the market demand for high-quality multifamily housing in the area.
