Tucked among tree-lined streets and historic homes, the Ghent neighborhood of Norfolk feels like a storybook come to life. Just minutes from downtown, this charming district invites long walks past century-old architecture, mornings spent in cozy cafés, and afternoons browsing local bookshops and boutiques. It's a place where art and culture are woven into daily life, where you might wander into the Chrysler Museum of Art or catch a classic film at the beloved Naro Theater.
On weekends, the scent of something delicious drifts from neighborhood favorites like No Frill Grill and Press 626, and Doumar’s serves up ice cream in the world’s first waffle cone. Just a short drive away, the wide, sandy stretch of Ocean View Beach offers a change of pace: sun-drenched afternoons, salty breezes, and quiet moments by the water.
Ghent comes alive with festivals, music, and laughter in places like Stockley Gardens, yet still holds onto a peaceful, close-knit charm. In this neighborhood, every corner feels like a page waiting to be turned. A true Norfolk gem, full of warmth, character, and the magic of community.
For those who drive, the area is well-connected by major roads like Colley Avenue and W 22nd Street, providing easy access to other parts of Norfolk and the rest of Tidewater by nearby highways. Public transportation is another great option, with several bus routes running through the neighborhood, offering connections to downtown Norfolk. Walking is also feasible for local errands or a trip to nearby parks, cafes, and shops, as the area has good walkability. Additionally, biking is a popular mode of transport, with several bike lanes and paths in the vicinity, making it an easy and eco-friendly choice for navigating the neighborhood. The light rail offers a convenient way to get from the edge of Ghent to Downtown Norfolk.

Amenities
The neighborhood is decent but unfortunately the stay was disappointing due to the fact that we pre-negotiated a possible early exit due to work considerations which Sojourn agreed to honor under Airbnb flexible policies. We stayed for over a month and had to relocate as we discussed with them. They refused to honor their agreements and then stopped responding altogether, forcing us to involve Airbnb support, who contradicted Sojourn's claims that they had no discretion in the policy. We have the agreement in writing and Sojourn has basically disappeared with our payment and is no longer responsive. The place was okay but we would not do business or trust these hosts again, we had very unique circumstances that were discussed at length and we are incredulous that they valued money over integrity. They had a helpful and sweet facade but no follow through and misled us into booking with them. This is the only bad review we've written in 15 years on Airbnb.
