Ghent
District 1
About the neighborhood
Ghent offers a peaceful residential setting with tree-lined streets and calm neighborhoods that feel welcoming to many residents. Spacious detached houses dominate the landscape, with a large share offering three or more bedrooms and comfortable living spaces for daily life. The median construction era around 1970 gives the area a mature, established character with classic architectural details and generous lot sizes. Motorists find excellent highway access and plentiful parking that make commuting and errands efficient. A handful of local restaurants provide dining options close to home, and several primary schools serve the community with neighborhood accessibility, and charming green spaces.

Characteristics
Transportation
The preferred way to navigate Ghent is usually a car. It is very easy to park, and the majority of real estate listings are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as W Virginia Tpke. Many of the homes for sale in this community are located in places that are not very suitable for people who like to travel as pedestrians as meeting daily needs is difficult without the use of a car. Ghent is also not very bicycling-friendly as there is a considerable amount of hills, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very comprehensive.
Services
Primary schools are not especially plentiful in Ghent, and therefore not always within a short distance, and there are no high schools. In terms of eating, home buyers in this community typically have to rely on a car to do groceries. There are a few choices for those who appreciate close by restaurants.
Character
Ghent offers a slower-paced environment. Ghent is very good for those who enjoy quiet surroundings, as the streets are generally very tranquil.
