Why Live in Ghent

Ghent, a historic neighborhood in Norfolk, transformed from farmland to a suburban area between 1890 and 1930, retaining much of its original charm with Colonial Revival, Shingle, and Queen Anne-style homes. Mowbray Arch, one of Ghent’s first residential streets, features some of the oldest and grandest homes overlooking The Hague waterfront. The neighborhood offers a mix of housing options, including apartments, condos, and historic mansions. Ghent is known for its walkability, with residents enjoying easy access to parks, churches, shops, and grocery stores like Fresh Market, Food Lion, and Harris Teeter. Colley Avenue, a central hotspot, is lined with retail and dining options, including popular eateries like Taste, No Frill Bar & Grill, and Orapax. For things to do, residents can visit Plum Point Park, the Chrysler Museum of Art, and the Harrison Opera House. The Stockley Gardens Arts Festival, held twice a year, brings food vendors, live music, and art to the neighborhood. Ghent’s schools include Taylor Elementary, Blair Middle, and the highly rated Maury High School, known for its Medical and Health Specialties Program. The area is safer than the national average, and its proximity to downtown Norfolk, less than 2 miles away, and Naval Station Norfolk makes it convenient for commuters. With several Hampton Roads Transit stops and the Elizabeth River Trail, getting around Ghent is straightforward and promotes a strong sense of community.
