Ghent is a vibrant neighborhood located in Norfolk, Virginia. It has a flavor all its own, old world charm mixed with youth culture, art, food, and commerce. Ghent is unique and people are drawn to it. There are beautifully restored 19th century homes on tree-lined streets, new luxury condominium lofts above retail spaces, and everything in between.
The center of Ghent runs along Colley Avenue. In fact, the street was voted a People’s Choice designation for Great Places in America. Colley Avenue plays host to the art film house Naro Cinema, art galleries, shops, and restaurants. Also a bastion of unique eateries, salons, and antique shops, 21st Street is right around the corner. There are myriad cultural and entertainment options within Ghent -- the Chrysler Museum of Art, Harrison Opera House, Symphony, and NEON Arts District are located here. And, another plus is the abundance of quality grocery stores in the neighborhood. Show Less...
