Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is the rare combination of pre-war architectural character and generous square footage you almost never find in a condo. At 1,513 square feet across two full bedrooms and two bathrooms, this 1919-era building delivers the kind of solid construction, thick walls, and distinctive detail that newer developments simply can't replicate — all within a three-minute drive of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Unit 402 sits in the heart of Norfolk, Virginia — a city that punches well above its weight in culture, waterfront access, and urban energy. The surrounding area along West Princess Anne Road blends historic residential fabric with walkable access to Ghent, one of Norfolk's most beloved urban neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, independent restaurants, art galleries, and weekend farmers markets. Whether you're looking for a quiet evening stroll or a lively Saturday brunch scene, it's all within easy reach. For anyone searching for a house for sale in norfolk va with genuine neighborhood character rather than a cookie-cutter subdivision, this stretch of the city delivers something genuinely different. Norfolk's broader offerings — the Chrysler Museum of Art, the Hague waterway, Town Point Park, and the downtown waterfront — are all accessible within a short drive or even a bike ride from this address.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Whole Foods Market is roughly a mile away, and the independent coffee shops and cafes along Colley Avenue are even closer. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital is just down the road, making this a practical address for healthcare workers as well as military families. Ghent's dining corridor puts dozens of restaurants within a short walk, from casual lunch spots to sit-down dinners. Town Point Park and the Lafayette River greenway offer outdoor breathing room, and I-264 access means the broader Hampton Roads region is always within reach.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a three-minute drive from the front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes out — making 736 W Princess Anne Rd #402 one of the most commute-efficient addresses in the region for active-duty personnel at either installation. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and 1,513 square feet gives a military household genuine room to settle in between deployments.
For buyers drawn to character
If homes in norfolk with real architectural soul are what you're after, a 1919 building with over 1,500 square feet of condo living is a rare find. You're getting thick plaster walls, period proportions, and the kind of craftsmanship that defined early twentieth-century residential construction — not a flipped townhome with granite counters and zero personality. This is a home with a story already written into its bones.
