Daily errands rarely require a highway.
WEST GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Hampton Boulevard runs through the heart of Norfolk, linking the waterfront to the medical district and beyond. The blocks near 1301 carry a mix of low-rise condos, older brick apartment buildings, and tree-lined side streets. It is a walkable stretch with real neighborhood texture — corner spots, local cafes, and parks within easy reach. The zip code 23517 covers some of Norfolk's most established urban blocks, and anyone comparing homes for sale in 23517 will notice how much daily life here happens on foot. Norfolk itself is a city of about 240,000 people anchored by the world's largest naval base, a working waterfront, and a thriving arts scene. Ghent, one of Norfolk's most beloved historic districts, is minutes away. Getting around is straightforward — Hampton Boulevard feeds directly into downtown, the Medical Center area, and I-264. Norfolk light rail connects the downtown core to the Medical Center campus. The city rewards those who explore it.
