Why this home stands out

What sets 696 Mowbray Arch #950 apart is the rare combination of urban walkability and military-base proximity that's genuinely hard to find among Norfolk homes for sale. Ghent Square is a true live-in neighborhood — not a drive-through corridor — and this address sits at its core, with playgrounds, boutique fitness studios, coffee shops, and grocery options all reachable on foot. The 1984 construction gives the building a solidity that newer budget builds rarely match.

GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market

Ghent Square is one of Norfolk's most beloved urban enclaves — a compact, tree-lined pocket of the city where neighbors actually know each other and sidewalks see real foot traffic. The neighborhood carries a creative, community-forward energy: independent restaurants, wellness studios, and small green spaces are woven into the blocks rather than tucked into strip malls miles away. It sits within the broader Ghent district, which has anchored Norfolk's arts and dining culture for decades. Norfolk itself is a city of genuine variety — waterfront parks, a thriving arts scene, world-class medical institutions, and one of the largest naval complexes in the world all coexist here. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often discover that the 23507 zip code delivers a walkable, urban lifestyle that feels more like a mid-Atlantic city than a typical Hampton Roads suburb. The city is also home to a deep network of military support services, making it a natural fit for service members and their families.

What's nearby

Step outside and your options open up immediately. Ghent Square Playground is 0.1 miles away — a quick walk for families or dog owners. Botetourt Gardens and Van Wyck Mews add two more green escapes within a few blocks. For coffee, Seoul Society and The Natural Path Cafe and Studio are both 0.2 miles out. Fuel up at El Chuyo LLC or Sanctuary for dinner, or grab a post-workout smoothie at Gym N Juice-Norfolk. Fitness is well covered too — Danny Guillen is 0.1 miles away, and Pilates, Health & Dance by Everlea and Hi Definition Fit Club are each 0.2 miles. Harris Teeter and Organic Food Depot handle weekly grocery runs, both under half a mile.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a two-minute drive from 696 Mowbray Arch #950, and USCG Base Portsmouth is three minutes out — commute times that are genuinely rare.
