2028 Merrick Dr, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

What sets 2028 Merrick Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage and a location that genuinely works for everyday life. At 2,485 square feet across four bedrooms, there's room to spread out without sacrificing proximity to the Peninsula's key corridors. Beckwith Farms is a well-kept neighborhood with a residential feel that's hard to replicate closer to the water — and the commute times to the area's major installations are legitimately short.

BECKWITH FARMS and the Hayes real estate market

Beckwith Farms is a residential subdivision in Hayes, Virginia — a community that sits in the heart of Gloucester County along the western shore of the York River. Hayes has a distinctly unhurried character: low traffic, tree-lined roads, and neighbors who tend to stay put. It's the kind of place where the pace slows down the moment you turn off Route 17. Gloucester County itself is one of the quieter jurisdictions on the Virginia Peninsula, offering a suburban-rural balance that's increasingly rare this close to Hampton Roads. The primary keyword for this area — Hayes Virginia homes — reflects a growing interest from buyers who want Peninsula access without Peninsula density. You're roughly 25 minutes from Williamsburg, about 35 from Newport News, and the Coleman Bridge puts you within easy reach of the York County side. Daily life here centers on the community rather than the commute, and that's exactly the draw for families who've found it.
