I have lived in West Ghent all my life and it is amazing. It is a 15 minute walk from amazing restaurants and shops. Additionally, there are amazing public and private schools in the area. The community is amazing and there are regular activities for the neighborhood to come together. There is a nice mix of young adults, families, and older people alike.
