Ghent Reviews
Rating 4.29 out of 5 7 reviews
I like the area of Ghent because its a small town with a variety of things close by to do, but a community that is truly about supporting local business. I decided after living in Virginia for two years that Ghent was where I wanted to be. I got my two bedroom apartment and have loved living here for the passed three years. The initial reason I was attracted to this area was the FOOD! Every week new restaurants and food trucks are being brought to the area. Between the local artists, good music, fantastic food and even better community Ghent became a home of remembered faces. I will be sad to leave the area, but it has been well to me.
I have lived in ghent all of my seventeen years of life and I have loved it. I always feel safe and like I am not only part of a community, but also a family.
The Ghent area of Norfolk has a small town feel in the middle of a city.
Neighbors know your name, and speak to each other in the street. Nightlife, grocery store, library,and diverse places to eat are a short walk away. A new art district and the Chrysler Museum are a block away.
Yet trees and green spaces keep the area quiet and dog/family friendly.
It's a great place to live!
