On Portsmouth Naval Medical Center
Anonymous Review
Ghent is incredibly walkable and diverse. It has high quality small/local businesses, shops, bars and restaurants all in the middle of an eclectic and historic residential area. It's centrally located next to downtown Norfolk, industry, and the other cities in Hampton Roads.
Price: N/A
- Pet Friendly: Yes
- Recommended: Yes
- Recommendations: I recommend Ghent for individuals, couples, and families. It's generally a bit more expensive to live here than other areas in Hampton Roads, but you get a lot for your money in terms of enjoyable dining, shopping and recreation. The area has many religious places to worship, parks and the streets are fun to walk because the historic homes have interesting architecture.

"Walkable Neighborhood"
Ghent is a great neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants and shops. Short walk to Colley Ave and longer walk to 21st street. it feels very metropolitan and you can escape down a quiet road then turn onto a loud one within blocks. If you like the metropolitan feel, you will like this area. If you are looking to buy, the homes are usually expensive, so there is a mix between single, family no kids, and family with kids (depends on your block and neighbors). Ghent is a sought after neighborhood near downtown Norfolk.
