Why this home stands out
Square footage this generous — 3,431 square feet spread across five bedrooms and three full baths — is genuinely hard to find in Smithfield without trading away a convenient location. Built in 1999, the home hits a sweet spot: old enough to have mature landscaping and an established feel, yet recent enough that the bones and systems reflect late-90s construction standards. The Creekside Drive address also puts you within easy reach of two major military installations, which matters whether you're active duty, a veteran, or simply value that kind of community stability.
GATLING POINTE and the Smithfield real estate market
Smithfield, Virginia sits in Isle of Wight County on the western bank of the Pagan River, and it carries a personality all its own. This is a small town that takes its history seriously — the kind of place where a walkable, brick-lined historic district coexists comfortably with newer residential streets like Creekside Drive. The pace here is unhurried, the neighbors tend to know each other, and the town's identity runs deeper than its famous ham. Isle of Wight County is one of the more sought-after jurisdictions in the Hampton Roads region precisely because it balances rural charm with reasonable access to the broader metro area. From 20711 Creekside Drive, you're positioned in that quiet residential pocket where the streets feel safe and the community feels intentional. Commuters heading toward Newport News, Suffolk, or the Southside find that Smithfield's location — while distinctly its own — keeps the wider region within reach without the congestion of denser urban neighborhoods.
What's nearby
Central Park is just 0.4 miles from the front door, making it one of the most convenient perks of this address — whether that means a morning walk, an afternoon with kids, or simply a green space to decompress after a long day.

Everyday errands are manageable, with grocery options and pharmacies accessible within the broader Smithfield corridor. For larger shopping runs, the Newport News retail corridor along Jefferson Avenue is reachable in under 30 minutes.
