Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

The location is the standout here. You're surrounded by everyday conveniences—grocery stores, restaurants, gyms, and playgrounds all within a few blocks. The home sits on a street where you can walk to what you need. Three bedrooms and two full baths give you room to spread out. Built in 1979, it has the solid bones of an older neighborhood home. Daily life is easy here, with everything nearby and a short commute to major employers.

GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market

This is a walkable Norfolk neighborhood where the streets are lined with established homes and tree-lined blocks. You'll find a mix of single-family houses and smaller residential buildings, the kind of area where neighbors know each other and foot traffic is normal. The neighborhood has real character—older trees, mature landscaping, and a sense of community that newer subdivisions often lack. Norfolk itself is Virginia's largest city, a vibrant waterfront town with a rich naval heritage and a thriving downtown. Getting around is straightforward: Princess Anne Road connects you to major routes, and you're minutes from the highway. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23517 will notice this area's central location and walkability. The city offers museums, restaurants, parks, and cultural events year-round.

What's nearby

You're steps away from daily essentials. Danny Guillen gym is just 0.1 miles away, and Ghent Square Playground is equally close for outdoor time. Seoul Society and The Natural Path Cafe are two blocks over for your morning coffee. Grocery shopping is easy: Harris Teeter sits 0.4 miles away, and Organic Food Depot is 0.5 miles. For meals, El Chuyo, Gym N Juice, and Sanctuary are all within two blocks. The neighborhood is dense with options, so you rarely need to drive for everyday tasks.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is three minutes away—an easy commute for active-duty and civilian medical personnel. USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes in the opposite direction. VA loan financing is common in this area, and the home's proximity to major bases makes it appealing for buyers using military benefits. Quick move-in is possible, and the walkable layout means less time commuting and more time with what matters.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms give you space for a home office, guest room, or kids' space. Two full baths mean mornings run smoother. The 1,700-square-foot layout spreads out efficiently, and the established neighborhood has parks and playgrounds within walking distance. Ghent Square Playground is just a block away, and Botetourt Gardens offers green space nearby. Storage and a solid foundation mean room to grow without major renovations.
