Why this home stands out
What sets 1659 Holly Drive apart is its combination of mid-century bones and a genuinely convenient Gloucester Point location. You're nine minutes from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, close to the water without the waterfront price tag, and positioned on the quieter, less congested side of the Coleman Bridge — a real quality-of-life advantage for anyone who values breathing room over urban density.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester Point real estate market
Gloucester Point sits at the southern tip of Gloucester County, right where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay corridor. It's a small, unhurried community with a strong sense of place — watermen, military families, and long-time Virginia residents all call it home. Holly Drive itself is a low-traffic residential street that feels removed from the bustle without actually being far from anything you need. The Coleman Bridge connects Gloucester Point to Yorktown in minutes, putting Colonial Williamsburg, the Historic Triangle, and the broader Hampton Roads metro within easy reach. Gloucester Point is the primary keyword for this address and this page. The community has a distinctly coastal Virginia character — you'll notice the salt air, the boat trailers in driveways, and neighbors who wave. Gloucester County governs the area, which means a different tax jurisdiction and a noticeably slower pace than the urban cores across the water.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Holly Drive. The Gloucester Point shopping corridor along Route 17 puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and casual dining within a short drive. Gloucester Point Beach Park is just down the road, offering York River access, picnic areas, and waterfront views without a membership or fee. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science sits nearby, giving the area an academic and scientific undercurrent. Yorktown Battlefield and the Riverwalk Landing are a quick bridge crossing away, and the broader Williamsburg area adds restaurants, retail, and entertainment options that punch well above what a small community typically offers.
