Why this home stands out
Built in 1917, this 2-bed, 1-bath condo carries the kind of architectural bones you simply can't replicate — think pre-war proportions, solid construction, and a streetscape that's aged gracefully for over a century. At 786 square feet, it's efficient without feeling cramped, and the Colonial Avenue address puts you inside one of Norfolk's most walkable, personality-rich corridors. Grocery, coffee, pizza, and green space are all within a quarter mile.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Colonial Avenue sits in Ghent, the neighborhood that locals consistently point to when someone asks where to find the most livable, character-filled house to buy in Norfolk. Ghent is bounded by the Lafayette River and the Elizabeth River branches, giving it a distinct peninsula feel even though you're squarely inside the city. The streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century architecture — brick rowhouses, converted apartments, and craftsman-era buildings that have been loved and maintained across generations. Boutique coffee shops, independent restaurants, and community parks are woven into the fabric of the neighborhood rather than tucked into a strip mall miles away. Norfolk itself is a city that punches above its weight: a deep-water port, a thriving arts scene, and one of the densest concentrations of military installations on the East Coast. Ghent is the neighborhood that ties all of that together, and Colonial Avenue is one of its most walkable addresses.
What's nearby
Step outside and daily errands practically handle themselves. Harris Teeter is 0.1 miles away, so a grocery run takes minutes rather than a commute. When you want something quick, Starbucks and Cafe Stella are both within 0.2 miles for your morning coffee. Cogans Pizza Ghent — a Ghent institution — is just 0.2 miles down the road for evenings you'd rather not cook. Ghent Dog Park is essentially at your doorstep, and Van Wyck Mews and Botetourt Gardens add more green space within a short walk. For fitness, Orangetheory Fitness and The House of Muay Thai are both 0.3 miles away, giving you solid options without a drive.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is roughly a 3-minute drive from 1323 Colonial Ave #6, and USCG Base Portsmouth is just 4 minutes out.

For first-time buyers
If you've been browsing houses for sale norfolk virginia and keep running into the same trade-off — character versus convenience — this Colonial Avenue condo makes a strong case that you don't have to choose. A 1917 building with real architectural history, grocery and coffee within a block, a dog park at the door, and a price point that fits a first purchase: it's a practical entry into one of Norfolk's most beloved neighborhoods.
