Why this home stands out
Six bedrooms inside a walkable urban neighborhood is a genuinely rare combination in Norfolk. At 4,177 square feet, this 1984 Ghent Square home gives you the square footage of a suburban estate without surrendering the coffee shops, parks, and restaurants that make city living worthwhile. Two military installations are literally two and three minutes away, and the neighborhood's mature character adds a sense of permanence that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate.
GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market
Ghent Square sits inside one of Norfolk's most beloved historic districts — a walkable, tree-lined pocket where brick sidewalks, mature canopy, and a genuine mix of neighbors give the area a personality all its own. When people search for houses for sale in Norfolk with real urban character, Ghent consistently rises to the top of the conversation. The neighborhood is bounded by Colley Avenue to the west and the Elizabeth River corridor to the south, putting you within easy reach of the Ghent arts scene, the NEON District, and the broader energy of downtown Norfolk. Norfolk itself is a city with deep military roots, a growing medical and higher-education corridor, and a waterfront that draws residents year-round. Ghent Square in particular has a quiet, residential feel that buffers you from downtown noise while keeping all the conveniences close. Homes here tend to be larger and older than the regional average, and the community has a strong sense of place that long-term residents are proud of.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from 300 W Olney Rd. Zinnia Cafe & Events and Cafe Milo are both within two blocks for your morning coffee, and Golden Fortune Restaurant is just a short walk for dinner. Groceries are covered by Harris Teeter and Amale Tre Focacceria & Italian Deli, both within half a mile, with Macarthur General Store not far behind at 0.6 miles. For outdoor time, Ghent Square Playground, Olney Blocks, and a Habitat Conservation Area are all within a tenth of a mile — essentially your backyard. Fitness Norfolk and Hi Definition Fit Club are both under a quarter mile if you prefer a gym to the trail.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a two-minute drive from your front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is three minutes out. For a military household, that kind of proximity changes daily life — shorter commutes, easier BAH planning, and a VA loan that stretches further in a neighborhood with this much square footage. Six bedrooms means room for a growing family, a home office, and a guest room all at once.
For families upgrading
If your current home has started to feel tight, 4,177 square feet across six bedrooms is the kind of space that solves that problem for a long time. Ghent Square Playground is literally steps away, the neighborhood is walkable in every direction, and the home's 1984 construction means solid bones with the room to personalize. This is the upgrade that stops the search.
