Why this home stands out
What sets 1406 Hampton Blvd #1 apart is the rare combination of genuine historic bones — we're talking a 1913 build with over 1,600 square feet — and an address that puts you within a three-minute drive of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. Units this size, this close to a major medical command, and this deep inside a walkable urban neighborhood don't come together often in Norfolk.
WEST GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Hampton Boulevard is one of Norfolk's great connective arteries, and the stretch near 1406 sits right at the edge of the Ghent neighborhood — one of the most beloved and livable pockets in all of norfolk virginia real estate. Ghent is the kind of place people describe when they say they want a neighborhood with personality: tree-lined blocks, independent restaurants, corner cafes, and a genuine mix of residents who actually know each other. The architecture along Hampton Blvd reflects the early 1900s development boom that shaped this part of the city, and that character has held. You're close to the Hague waterfront, within easy reach of downtown Norfolk, and connected to the broader Hampton Roads region via I-264 and the Midtown Tunnel. Whether you're heading to the naval base, the medical center, or just grabbing coffee on a Saturday morning, the location does the heavy lifting for you.
