Why this home stands out
Nearly 2,000 square feet is rare for a two-bedroom condo anywhere in Norfolk, and here that space comes wrapped in a 1986 building with real architectural bones — not a cookie-cutter floorplan. Add a literal park-side address on Botetourt Gardens, two full baths, and a sub-five-minute commute to two major federal installations, and this unit occupies a category almost entirely its own.
GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market
Botetourt Gardens sits at the southern edge of the Ghent neighborhood, one of Norfolk's most beloved urban enclaves. The streets here are lined with mature trees, brick sidewalks, and a mix of early-twentieth-century rowhouses, mid-rise condos, and converted apartments that give the area genuine texture. Ghent has long been the city's creative and culinary heartbeat — independent restaurants, coffee shops, fitness studios, and specialty grocers cluster within a few blocks in every direction. You're close to the Elizabeth River and the broader Colley Avenue corridor without being in the thick of the noise. Norfolk itself is a city of neighborhoods, waterfronts, and military history, and Ghent is the spot where all of that energy feels most livable. Daily errands, morning workouts, and weekend brunches are all genuinely walkable from 1102 Botetourt Gardens #B1.

Fitness options are equally stacked — Danny Guillen is 0.1 miles away, with Pilates Health & Dance by Everlea and Hi Definition Fit Club both at 0.2 miles. Ghent Square Playground is a one-minute walk, and Botetourt Gardens park is right outside your door.
