Why this home stands out
What sets Unit 202 apart is the combination of a manageable, thoughtfully sized floor plan and an almost unbeatable position for anyone tied to the Portsmouth medical corridor. Two full baths across two bedrooms means no sharing a sink in the morning rush. Built in 2006, the building hits that sweet spot — modern construction standards without the premium of brand-new pricing, and a layout that actually uses every square foot.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
The address sits in Norfolk, Virginia — a city of genuine character that refuses to be defined by any single identity. You're in the 23517 zip code, a central Norfolk corridor that bridges the older residential fabric of the city with its growing medical and professional district. Streets here carry a lived-in confidence: mature trees, a mix of housing eras, and neighbors who tend to stay. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts scene along Granby Street, and a waterfront that draws people out year-round. The 450 Princess Anne Rd W Norfolk VA condo lifestyle suits someone who wants proximity to work, access to the city's energy, and a home base that doesn't demand a long commute in either direction. Norfolk's neighborhoods reward exploration — and from this address, that exploration is genuinely easy.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Groceries, pharmacies, and coffee shops are all within a short drive along the Princess Anne Road corridor. Ghent — one of Norfolk's most beloved walkable districts — is just a few minutes away, offering independent restaurants, boutiques, and weekend farmers market energy. The Elizabeth River Trail provides outdoor access without leaving the urban grid. Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is roughly three minutes by car, and USCG Base Portsmouth is about four. For bigger errands, the interstate network is quickly accessible, connecting you to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the broader Hampton Roads region without much friction.
