Why this home stands out
Size is the first thing that stands out: 3,700 square feet of multi-family space in a neighborhood where that kind of footprint is rare. Built in 1964, the structure carries the solid construction hallmarks of that era — thick walls, generous room proportions, and a lot of character that newer builds simply don't replicate. The Ghent-adjacent address puts you within a short walk of daily errands, dining, and parks, while two major military installations sit less than five minutes away by car.
PARK PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market
410 W 28th St sits in one of Norfolk's most established and walkable urban corridors, just on the edge of the beloved Ghent district. Ghent has been the cultural and social anchor of midtown Norfolk for decades — tree-lined streets, independent businesses, a genuine neighborhood identity, and the kind of block-by-block variety that keeps life interesting. The surrounding area blends historic residential architecture with an active street-level scene: coffee shops, raw bars, boutique fitness studios, and neighborhood parks all within a few blocks. Norfolk itself is a city of real substance — a working waterfront, a thriving arts community, and a military presence that gives the local economy stability year-round. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often find that the Ghent corridor checks boxes that newer suburban developments simply can't: walkability, character, and proximity to everything. The 23508 zip code in particular sits at a sweet spot between urban convenience and genuine neighborhood feel.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is four minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is five — making 410 W 28th St one of the closer multi-family options to both installations.

The walkable neighborhood and stable Norfolk market are a strong combination for military households planning ahead.

If you're drawn to properties with real history and scale, 410 W 28th St delivers both. Built in 1964 and spanning 3,700 square feet, this multi-family structure carries the architectural confidence of mid-century construction — proportions, materials, and a streetscape presence that modern infill rarely matches. The Ghent-adjacent setting only adds to the appeal for buyers who value neighborhood identity alongside building character.
