Why this home stands out
Unit 214 sits inside a building completed in 2006, giving you the structural integrity and modern systems of a purpose-built mid-2000s residence without the upkeep demands of a detached home. Two full baths across 1,224 square feet means no sharing, no compromising. And the Granby Street address is the real differentiator — walkable errands, walkable dining, walkable fitness, all without moving your car.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Granby Street is one of Norfolk's most recognizable corridors — a stretch where historic architecture, local restaurants, and everyday conveniences exist side by side. Unit 214 at 1400 Granby puts you right in that mix. Whether you're searching for a house for sale norfolk or something a little more urban and low-maintenance, this address delivers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate elsewhere in the region. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and the Granby Street stretch near downtown and Ghent has a particular energy — walkable, connected, and genuinely lived-in. You're close to the Elizabeth River waterfront, a short drive from the Naro Expanded Cinema, and within easy reach of the broader Hampton Roads metro. City services, transit options, and the kind of street-level activity that makes daily life feel less routine are all part of the package here.
What's nearby
Step outside and Wing Street, First Watch, and Rally's are all within a tenth of a mile — breakfast, lunch, or a quick bite covered before you've driven anywhere.

For coffee, The Natural Path Cafe and Studio, Zeke's, and Blaze on Granby give you three distinct options within a short walk.

Van Wyck Mews, Botetourt Gardens, and Ghent Square Playground are all within 0.4 miles for outdoor time.
