Why this home stands out
What sets 2020 Sarahs Creek Woods Road apart is its location in Hayes — a low-traffic, rural-feeling corner of Gloucester County where properties sit on generous lots and neighbors are few. The 1966 construction gives the home a solid, established character, and the surrounding creek-and-woods landscape means you're trading congestion for calm without giving up regional connectivity.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes is an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, tucked along the western shore of the York River where the land starts to feel genuinely rural. Life here moves at a different pace than Virginia Beach or Norfolk — driveways are long, lots are leafy, and the nearest stoplight is a few miles away. Sarahs Creek itself winds through the area, giving the neighborhood its name and its character. Residents are a mix of longtime Gloucester County families and commuters who've decided the extra drive is worth the breathing room. The George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge connects Hayes to Yorktown in minutes, putting the Historic Triangle within easy reach. Hampton Roads is fully accessible via I-64, and the Virginia Peninsula — Newport News, Hampton, and beyond — is a straightforward drive south. If the phrase Hayes Virginia real estate resonates with you, it's usually because someone has discovered that this quiet pocket of Gloucester County offers a lifestyle that's genuinely hard to replicate closer to the city.
What's nearby
Daily errands are manageable from Sarahs Creek Woods Road. The Gloucester Courthouse area, about 10 minutes north, has grocery options, pharmacies, and local dining. Yorktown is just across the Coleman Bridge — you're looking at 10 minutes to the waterfront, the Riverwalk, and a handful of well-regarded restaurants. For bigger shopping runs, the Williamsburg Premium Outlets and the broader Williamsburg retail corridor are roughly 25 minutes west. Water access is a natural draw here, with public boat ramps and fishing spots along the York River and its tributaries close by.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Dam Neck Annex is about 33 minutes away via the Coleman Bridge and I-64, and NAS Oceana sits roughly 39 minutes from the door. That's a commute many Hampton Roads service members consider very workable, especially when it comes with Gloucester County's lower density and quieter surroundings. A VA loan is a natural fit here, and the property's price point tends to align well with E-6 through O-3 BAH bands.
For first-time buyers
If you're buying your first home, Hayes offers something that's harder to find closer to the city — space, quiet, and a slower pace — without completely disconnecting from the region. A 1,392-square-foot, three-bedroom layout gives you room to grow, and Gloucester County's property taxes tend to run lower than many of the surrounding jurisdictions. It's a practical starting point with genuine long-term appeal.
