734 Graydon Ave, Norfolk, VA 23507

Why this home stands out

Homes from 1908 rarely offer 3,208 square feet, four full bedroom suites, and a half-bath for guests — all on one of Ghent's most storied blocks. Graydon Avenue runs through a corridor of century-old trees and brick sidewalks that most newer subdivisions simply cannot replicate. The scale, the craftsmanship, and the address together make 734 Graydon a rare find in the 23507 zip code.

GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market

Ghent is Norfolk's original streetcar neighborhood, and Graydon Avenue sits at its heart. The streets here are lined with early-1900s craftsman homes, colonial revivals, and the occasional Queen Anne — each one different from the next. Brick sidewalks, mature oaks, and a genuine front-porch culture define daily life on this block. The neighborhood draws people who want urban walkability without sacrificing architectural character. Colley Avenue and 21st Street form the commercial spine nearby, full of independent shops and locally owned restaurants. Ghent connects directly to downtown Norfolk in under ten minutes by car. Norfolk itself is a mid-size coastal city with a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene, and one of the East Coast's busiest military corridors. The Tide light rail links several Norfolk neighborhoods and runs toward the Medical Center area. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice that Ghent commands a premium precisely because it delivers this combination of history, walkability, and city access. The 23507 zip code covers much of Ghent and is one of the most searched among homes for sale in 23507 across the entire Hampton Roads region.
