Why this home stands out

At 1,100 square feet, this is a genuinely spacious one-bedroom unit — rare for the Ghent corridor. The 1984 build means solid construction with room-scale layouts that newer micro-units skip. Ghent Square Playground is a tenth of a mile away. Seoul Society and The Natural Path Cafe are both a short walk. You get a walkable, arts-adjacent block without sacrificing square footage.

GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market

Ghent is one of Norfolk's most established urban neighborhoods. Tree-lined streets, early-twentieth-century architecture, and a dense mix of shops and studios give it a character that newer suburban areas simply can not replicate. Mowbray Arch runs along the edge of the neighborhood's park system, so green space is always close. The block around #250 feels residential and calm, even though dining and coffee are steps away. Botetourt Gardens and Van Wyck Mews add to the walkable park network nearby. Norfolk itself is a mid-sized city with a working waterfront, a growing arts scene, and strong transit connections. The Tide light rail links Ghent to downtown Norfolk and the medical district. Anyone browsing homes for sale in Norfolk will find that Ghent commands consistent interest because of its central position in the city. Getting to the beach, the airport, or the interstate is straightforward from here. The 23507 zip code covers some of the most walkable blocks in the entire Hampton Roads region.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from 696 Mowbray Arch. Harris Teeter is 0.4 miles away, and Organic Food Depot is just a half mile out. El Chuyo LLC, Sanctuary, and Gym N Juice-Norfolk are all within two blocks for lunch or a quick bite. Seoul Society and The Natural Path Cafe handle your morning coffee within a short walk. For fitness, Danny Guillen, Pilates Health & Dance by Everlea, and Hi Definition Fit Club are all under a quarter mile. Ghent Square Playground is a tenth of a mile from the front door.

For different buyers
