Why this home stands out
Unit 507 sits inside a well-established 1984 building on Stockley Gardens, a tree-lined boulevard that anchors Norfolk's Ghent corridor. At 1,228 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, the floorplan gives each resident real breathing room — rare for urban condo living. The location is the headline: groceries, gyms, raw bars, and coffee shops are all within a quarter mile, and two military installations are reachable in under five minutes.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Stockley Gardens runs through the heart of Ghent, Norfolk's most storied urban neighborhood. The boulevard itself is lined with mature trees and flanked by early-twentieth-century architecture — brick rowhouses, converted apartments, and independent businesses that have been here for decades. Ghent draws people who want city energy without sacrificing neighborhood warmth: weekend farmers markets, gallery walks, and a genuinely walkable street grid. Norfolk as a whole is a mid-sized coastal city with a deep military presence, a growing medical district, and a downtown waterfront that keeps improving. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in Ghent precisely because it threads the needle between urban convenience and residential calm. The 23517 zip code sits at the geographic center of that energy, and it shows in everyday life here.
