GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market

Colley Avenue is a tree-lined street in the heart of Norfolk's walkable core, where brick homes and vintage storefronts define the neighborhood character. You'll find coffee shops, wine bars, and casual dining within a block or two—Grand Grounds and EspressOasis are a short walk away. The Hague Bulkhead and Raleigh Park sit practically at your doorstep, offering green space and water views. Norfolk itself is a major military and maritime hub, with Naval Station Norfolk and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth anchoring the regional economy. Getting around is straightforward: Colley Avenue connects easily to downtown Norfolk and the bases. If you're comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, note that this neighborhood offers the rare combination of urban walkability and proximity to major employers. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23507 will find this address sits in one of the city's most established, accessible districts.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy here. Harris Teeter grocery is half a mile away for weekly shopping. Press 626 Wine Bar and The Retreat Cafe are right on your block—no car needed for dinner or coffee. Colleywood Cuts gym is a ten-minute walk, and the Blocker Norfolk Family YMCA sits less than a mile out.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

For buyers drawn to character

This 1908 home carries authentic period details—original woodwork, solid construction, and the kind of street-level charm that newer subdivisions rarely offer.
