Why this home stands out

Five bedrooms in a single-family home this close to two major installations is genuinely rare. At 2,834 square feet with 2.1 baths, there's room to spread out without sacrificing location. The Ghent-adjacent address means green space, independent restaurants, and specialty grocers are all within a short walk — a combination that's hard to replicate elsewhere among Norfolk homes for sale at this size.

GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market

Colonial Avenue sits in a mature, tree-lined stretch of Norfolk where early-to-mid twentieth-century architecture gives way to post-war construction on generous lots. The surrounding blocks carry the relaxed energy of the broader Ghent district — front porches, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, and a mix of long-time residents and newer arrivals who appreciate walkability without sacrificing square footage. Botetourt Gardens and Ghent Square Playground are both within a few minutes on foot, giving the immediate area a park-like feel that's woven into daily life rather than something you have to drive to. Norfolk itself is a city that rewards people who dig in — a working waterfront, a serious arts scene, and a dining culture that punches well above its size. For families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, this particular corridor offers an unusually dense concentration of everyday conveniences alongside genuine neighborhood character.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from 1004 Colonial Ave. Harris Teeter is 0.4 miles away, and Organic Food Depot is just a half-mile out for specialty and natural groceries. When you want to eat out, El Chuyo LLC, Sanctuary, and Gym N Juice-Norfolk are all within 0.2 miles. Seoul Society and The Natural Path Cafe and Studio handle your coffee and smoothie needs at the same distance. Fitness options are equally close — Danny Guillen, Pilates Health & Dance by Everlea, and Hi Definition Fit Club are all within two blocks. Ghent Square Playground is 0.1 miles away, and Van Wyck Mews rounds out the green-space options at 0.3 miles.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a three-minute drive, and USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes out — making 1004 Colonial Ave one of the most commute-efficient addresses in the region for active-duty households. Five bedrooms handle deployment rotations and visiting family with ease, and a VA loan can make ownership here straightforward. Families browsing homes for sale in 23517 will find this location hard to beat for dual-base access.

For families upgrading

If your current home is running out of room, five bedrooms and 2,834 square feet give everyone their own space without pushing you out to the suburbs. You're still walking distance from parks, restaurants, and two grocery options — the kind of upgrade that adds square footage without subtracting the neighborhood life you actually want. Parents comparing homes for sale zoned for Kings Daughters Hosp. Ep. and homes for sale zoned for W.H. Taylor Elementary School will find this address worth a close look.
