Why this home stands out
What sets 819 Botetourt Gardens apart is its rare combination of generous square footage for a late-1970s build and an almost unbeatable position relative to two major installations.

GHENT SQUARE and the Norfolk real estate market
Norfolk, Virginia 23507 sits in the heart of one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities, and Botetourt Gardens is one of those addresses that feels genuinely rooted in its surroundings. The street carries the quiet, established character of an older Norfolk neighborhood — mature trees, a mix of architectural eras, and the kind of sidewalk culture that makes evening walks feel natural. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts, waterfront energy, and deep military heritage, and 23507 captures that identity well. If you've been searching for homes for sale in norfolk va 23503, it's worth knowing that 23507 shares much of the same urban fabric — walkable pockets, proximity to downtown amenities, and easy access to the broader Hampton Roads highway network.
