Why this home stands out
Square footage this generous is genuinely rare in this part of Norfolk. With six bedrooms and four and a half baths spread across 4,682 square feet, 330 Raleigh Avenue gives large households — or anyone who values dedicated space for work, guests, and hobbies — room to breathe without sacrificing walkability. The 1986 build puts it in a sweet spot: solid construction with enough age to carry real character, in a neighborhood that has only grown more desirable over time.
GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market
330 Raleigh Avenue sits in one of Norfolk's most beloved urban neighborhoods — the Ghent corridor, where tree-lined streets, independent businesses, and a genuine sense of community make daily life feel both convenient and enjoyable. Ghent has long attracted people who want city living without the anonymity of a high-rise, and Raleigh Avenue delivers exactly that. Botetourt Gardens is steps away, and Ghent Square Playground is barely a block from your front door. Norfolk itself is a city of real substance: a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene anchored by the Chrysler Museum, and a military presence that shapes the economy and the culture in equal measure. Getting around is straightforward — downtown Norfolk is a short drive east, and the interstate network puts Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the Peninsula all within reasonable reach.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy here. Harris Teeter is 0.4 miles out, and Organic Food Depot is just a half-mile away for specialty grocery runs. When you want to eat out, El Chuyo LLC, Sanctuary, and Gym N Juice-Norfolk are all within two-tenths of a mile. Seoul Society and The Natural Path Cafe and Studio handle your coffee and wellness needs at the same distance. Fitness options are equally close — Danny Guillen's gym is 0.1 miles away, with Pilates, Health & Dance by Everlea and Hi Definition Fit Club both within 0.2 miles. Van Wyck Mews rounds out the green-space options just 0.3 miles from the front door.
