Why this home stands out
What sets this 1,058-square-foot condo apart is the address itself: Stockley Gardens is one of the most coveted streets in all of Ghent, lined with mature trees and facing the park that gives it its name. Built in 1984, the building carries a solidity that newer construction rarely matches, and the unit's second-floor position balances accessibility with just enough elevation to feel removed from street-level noise.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Ghent is the kind of neighborhood that people move to once and then spend years telling friends about. Anchored by Colley Avenue and the Ghent Business District, it blends early-20th-century architecture with an active, walkable street life that's rare in Hampton Roads. Brick-lined sidewalks, independent restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques create a daily rhythm that feels more like a small city than a suburb. If you've been searching for homes for sale in ghent norfolk va, you already know the appeal — the question is usually just finding the right unit at the right address. Stockley Gardens sits at the quiet, residential core of the neighborhood, buffered from commercial traffic but within a few minutes' walk of everything. Norfolk as a whole offers waterfront parks, a thriving arts scene, and direct access to the broader Hampton Roads metro, but Ghent gives you a neighborhood identity that most of the city simply can't replicate.
