Why this home stands out
Four thousand, seven hundred and sixteen square feet is a serious amount of room — and on Mowbray Arch, that space comes wrapped in the kind of established, tree-lined streetscape that newer construction simply can't replicate. Five bedrooms and four and a half baths means everyone gets their own corner of the house, yet the address still puts you within a short walk of restaurants, green spaces, and daily errands. That combination of scale, character, and convenience is genuinely rare in this part of Norfolk.
GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market
Mowbray Arch sits in one of Norfolk's most storied residential corridors — a graceful, curving street that has anchored the Ghent and West Ghent area for generations. The architecture here leans toward substantial, well-kept homes with mature landscaping, and the neighborhood carries a quiet confidence that comes from decades of community investment. Botetourt Gardens and Ghent Square Playground are both within a few blocks, giving the streetscape a park-like feel even on an ordinary Tuesday. Norfolk itself is a city that rewards people who live close to its center: the waterfront, the arts district, independent restaurants, and major employment corridors are all within easy reach. The 23507 zip code in particular sits at a sweet spot — urban enough to walk to dinner, residential enough to feel like a genuine neighborhood. Whether you're drawn to the architecture, the walkability, or the proximity to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Mowbray Arch delivers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate elsewhere in Hampton Roads.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a two-minute drive from the front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is three minutes out. For a military family weighing commute against quality of life, that proximity is hard to beat — especially paired with 4,716 square feet and five bedrooms that give everyone room to spread out. A VA loan can make a home at this scale more accessible than many families expect.
For buyers drawn to character
Homes on Mowbray Arch don't look like anything built last year — and that's exactly the point. The 1985 construction sits on a street defined by architectural presence and mature surroundings, with Botetourt Gardens steps away and a walkable block full of independent restaurants and boutique fitness studios. If you want a home with a genuine sense of place rather than a subdivision aesthetic, this address delivers.
