Ghent district is one of the most economically diverse in Norfolk with large turn-of-the century apartment communities, next to rows of cozy bungalows, side by side with newly developed condominiums. In the past five years, many former apartment buildings have been redeveloped into condominium units at a rapid pace. East Ghent, what used to be a predominantly African-American area, was torn down and rebuilt, while little of the original buildings remain.
