Why this home stands out
Built in 1910 and stretching across 3,301 square feet, 820 Westover Ave is one of those rare Ghent addresses that genuinely fits a large household without sacrificing location. Five bedrooms and four and a half baths give everyone room to breathe, while the 0.13-acre lot provides a real yard in a neighborhood where outdoor space is a genuine premium. The architecture carries the weight of over a century of Norfolk history — and it shows in every detail.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Ghent is one of Norfolk's most beloved urban neighborhoods, and Westover Ave sits right in the thick of it. Tree-lined streets, early-twentieth-century architecture, and a genuine walkable energy make this corner of the city feel like a small town tucked inside a major metro. If you've been searching through homes for sale in Ghent Norfolk VA, you already know the neighborhood's reputation: independent restaurants, coffee shops with regulars who know your order, and parks where neighbors actually stop to talk. The area draws a wide mix of residents — young professionals, longtime Norfolkians, military families, and creatives — all drawn to the same thing: a neighborhood with real texture. Ghent sits in the heart of Norfolk, with quick access to Downtown, the Chrysler Museum, and the Elizabeth River waterfront. The Colley Avenue corridor and the surrounding blocks offer a daily rhythm that's hard to replicate anywhere else in Hampton Roads.
