1978 Jenkins Neck Rd, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

What sets 1978 Jenkins Neck Road apart is its location deep in the rural character of Hayes — a part of Gloucester County where the pace genuinely slows down. The 1951 construction gives the home a solid mid-century bones, and the surrounding landscape offers the kind of breathing room that's increasingly hard to find this close to Hampton Roads' military corridor. One bath and three bedrooms keep things simple and efficient.

ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes sits along the western shore of the York River in Gloucester County — a community that feels a world away from the busier corridors of Hampton Roads, yet stays well-connected by the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge. Jenkins Neck Road in particular runs through one of the quieter residential pockets of Hayes, where modest homes share the landscape with mature trees, open sky, and the occasional water view just off the road. Gloucester County has a distinctly rural, unhurried character — no big-box sprawl, no gridlock, just small-town Virginia at a genuine pace. Residents here tend to value that trade-off: a little more drive time in exchange for a lot more elbow room. The broader Hayes area draws people who want proximity to the water and the military installations across the river without living in the middle of a busy metro.

What's nearby

Daily life along Jenkins Neck Road is quiet by design, but you're not far from what you need. Hole in the Wall At Perrindise, a local restaurant just 0.7 miles away, gives you a neighborhood spot for a casual meal without getting in the car for long. The town of Gloucester Court House — with grocery options, pharmacies, and everyday services — is a short drive up Route 17. Across the Coleman Bridge, Yorktown and the broader Peninsula open up quickly, putting Naval Weapons Station Yorktown about 18 minutes out and Camp Peary roughly 23 minutes from your front door.
