Why this home stands out
What sets 809 Botetourt Gardens apart is the rare combination of urban walkability and military convenience that very few Norfolk addresses can match.

It sits just west of the broader Ghent district, giving residents access to that area's cultural energy without being right in the middle of it.

The surrounding streets are quiet enough for evening walks yet connected enough that you rarely need a car for daily errands. Norfolk as a city offers a compelling mix of military history, arts venues, waterfront parks, and a growing culinary scene — and Ghent Square sits near the center of all of it.
