Why this home stands out
Homes built in 1910 don't come with this kind of square footage very often — 3,000 feet spread across four bedrooms and three full baths gives you genuine room to live without sacrificing the period charm that makes Ghent so distinct. The lot is compact and low-maintenance by design, which suits the neighborhood's urban-walkable rhythm perfectly. You're in one of Norfolk's most sought-after historic districts, and the bones here reflect it.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Ghent is the kind of neighborhood that earns its reputation. Laid out in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it's one of Norfolk's oldest and most architecturally cohesive districts — think tree-canopied sidewalks, front porches, brick streets, and homes that have real stories behind them. The area draws a wide mix of residents: longtime locals, young professionals, military families, and creative types who all seem to agree that Ghent's walkability and character are hard to replicate anywhere else in the city. When people search for houses for sale in Ghent Norfolk VA, they're often looking for exactly what this address delivers — a real neighborhood with texture and life. Colley Avenue and 21st Street form the commercial spine nearby, lined with independent restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. Norfolk's broader arts and medical corridors are minutes away, and the Elizabeth River waterfront is well within reach. Ghent sits in Norfolk, Virginia 23517, within the City of Norfolk jurisdiction.
