Excellent Place to Live
June 10, 2025Excellent property crew! They’re incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and efficient. We were pleasantly surprised to find our patio freshly power-washed in preparation for summer — a thoughtful touch that really stood out. It’s clear they take pride in maintaining the apartment complex with great attention to detail.Property Manager Responded

Highly Recommend this Buidling!
March 16, 2025Absolutely great building. The management team is incredibly helpful and friendly and flexible for tenants in the military. The one service request I put in while living there was handled within a couple of hours. Common spaces are well maintained, and there are several events that they host for residents throughout the year. The area is also one of the best in Norfolk, and the area is very walkable with a great gym nearby, a grocery store in walking distance and lots of great restaurants ...and barsProperty Manager Responded

You want to live here!
September 29, 2023Besides the apartments and amenities being very clean, modern/cozy and safe, the staff’s hospitality is what truly made this place feel like a home away from home. Due to a busy life/work schedule, I’ve moved 18 times and Element at Ghent does not compare to anywhere else. The apartments are located in a safe and beautiful area accessible by foot to all the fun spots and restaurants/bars in Norfolk and Ghent. The community at Ghent is very friendly and this is, mainly, thanks to Janice and Harley ...who go the extra mile to get to know their residents on a personal level and plan frequent events to bring the community together. The events are always very fun and have a huge turnout too! Janice and Harley even make most of the food and drinks on their own time for these events so they can budget for more frequent events and prizes. I mean come on!!! Also…shout-out to the maintenance team with Johnny and Kevin. They make sure maintenance requests are taken care of immediately and always do a great job to make sure whatever problem I had doesn’t occur again. Karen, I don’t know what sorcery she uses but the apartment complex is always spotless and smells amazing!!! Any time I have guests over, the first thing they compliment when they walk in the building is how clean and welcoming it is and how good it smells. My partner and I loved living here and would recommend it to anyone wanting a safe and welcoming home environment. Janice and Harley, I’ll miss frequently stopping by your office just to talk about everything and anything. Thank you for being so amazing and keeping the apartment complex in such good shape!Property Manager Responded
May 10, 2024Wow! This review blew us away. Thanks for raving about your experience and the team for the hospitality and service they provide! This is amazing to hear and we're so happy to know that you have such a positive outlook on the community.

Best Apartment in the Area
June 8, 2021You won't be able to find a friendlier staff. They're very thoughtful and considerate of tenants. Maintenance issues are fixed very quickly. I often got a knock at the door within an hour of putting a request in. The amenities are all great. The pool environment is tons of fun if you are looking to meet new people. They are constantly updating the amenities as well and can tell they really invest in the place. Best apartment experience I've had yet.Property Manager Responded
June 15, 2021Thank you for this review. We are so glad you have been having a joyful experience. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and if there is anything else we can do for you, please do not hesitate to let us know. Thank you for choosing Element at Ghent Apartments as your place of residence and we hope you have a great day!

Great apartment, great location, and great staff
October 13, 2019When I first entered the facility, the area was clean and it smelled clean as well. The staff was very helpful, kind, and understanding as they took me on a tour through the building. It was very impressive how one of the staff members knew the names of almost all of the tenants that would walk past her or that would see her. They try to make the living space that you occupy a home rather than being a place that you occupy for eat, sleep, and go back to work the next day. Also, very professional ...staff.Property Manager Responded
October 16, 2019Thank you for taking the time to share with us why you love calling Element your home! We appreciate the special shout out of our team members for their great service and care they have been able to provide you. As always, please do not hesitate to reach back out to us, if you were to need anything going forward. Thanks again!

Outstanding!
October 12, 2019I’ve lived in the Element for just over a year now and recently renewed my lease for another year! The facilities are great, all brand new appliances, very friendly and helpful staff, and great amenities with the building itself. Well worth the price you pay with the quality of living here. Convenient location too with dozens of restaurants within a 1-2 mile walk/drive and multiple dog parks within a short drive. Highly recommended to call them now!Property Manager Responded
October 16, 2019Thank you! We appreciate the kind words about our community and staff. Here at Element, we strive to provide excellent customer service to all current and future residents and we’re so glad to read that your encounter with us has been a positive one. Have a great day!
Review from Apartments.com
BEWARE
March 8, 2018Pay attention to the negative reviews on this building because they are the most truthful as they are residents who have lived in this building the longest. We just ended our lease after 15 months. Thank goodness we did. There has been nothing but problems since we moved in. Break ins in a "locked" garage, pets constantly peeing down the entire stairwells and it being there for weeks before it was cleaned, incompetent office staff, constant middle of the night fire alarms, and the list goes on. ...If you for some reason choose this "luxury" building out of the thousands of other rentals in the Ghent area beware. It's hardly even in Ghent as it is on the outskirts so you have the constant traffic of shady people. Another would be the cost for parking in the garage that's NEVER full. Do yourself a favor and live in the apartment building next door or over on 21st St. Make sure to be very thorough on your move in inspection because it will become imperative on move out. Plus the office staff likes to enter your apartment for pre move out inspections without your knowledge. I can't say enough and how I'm glad we got out of this horrible apartment with a shady company and management. Being military it's very easy to spread the word on places not to live in Norfolk and this would be one of them that I will forewarn anyone who's looking for a new place to live.Property Manager Responded
May 9, 2018We're terribly sorry to hear you did not have a more positive experience at our community. Our goal is to always provide quick and courteous service, but we need to be made aware of concerns so we can promptly address the matter. We wish you the best moving forward and hope all is well! Thank you. - Property Manager, Janice Hale

Not worth the high price, things always breaking
November 11, 2017I would suggest not moving into this complex. Although it looks nice there are too many issues of things not working for the high price you pay when living here on a day to day basis.We haven't gone a month when at least 1 elevator was not broken for a few days. There have been times when all of the elevators were broken at once. This is a major issue when you live on the 4th floor and have to climb stairs with an injury or moving into the complex. At one time the elevator was broken for two ...weeks. In addition, there have also been multiple occurrences where the garage doors have been broken and stuck open or shut. The garage doors are supposed to work with a garage opener but the staff here leaves the doors open frequently which reduces the security of the building. There have also been multiple occurrences of the trash chutes door mechanism being broken for long periods of time. This means that we have to put our bags of trash in the room next to the chute, which then smells up that section of the hallway. Also, there is a major ant problem here. When there were hundreds of ants crawling in the hallway and coming through the bottom of my door I went to complain and asked them to take care of the problem and to spray. The office staff response was "oh yea, we have a problem with ants in our courtyard". She said there was nothing they could do it about it. Horrible customer service and complex when you have to go buy ant spray yourself for the common areas and spay the area yourself. Also, my bill was never right. They always try to overcharge you with your monthly rent and when you go to the office for help, they say they can't help you. There are a lot nicer complexes in the area for a lesser price where things actually work!! Trust me, take your business elsewhere!Property Manager Responded
May 9, 2018While we embrace all feedback to better improve our service, we are disappointed we did not live up to your expectations. We know there is occasionally an issue with the elevators and trash chute, but our maintenance team does their best to address these matters as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they sometimes need to wait for parts to come in, but they are always working to ensure everything is in top shape for our residents! As for the pests, we are always happy to schedule pest control for such situations. We just ask that contact us or stop by the office, so we can make the appointment. We will keep your comments in mind as we move forward! Thank you.- Kasey Lawson, Property Manager

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
