2348 Somerset Way, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

New construction means everything is yours first — no inherited quirks, no deferred maintenance, no wondering what the previous owners did to the plumbing. This 2026-built home in Hayes gives you modern layouts, current building codes, and the kind of clean slate that older properties simply can't offer. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 1,827 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space make it a genuinely practical fit for a wide range of households.

RIVER CLUB AT TWIN ISLAND and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes sits in Gloucester County on the Middle Peninsula of Virginia, tucked between the York River and the Severn River. It's a quieter alternative to the busier corridors of Hampton Roads — the kind of place where you get genuine breathing room without sacrificing access. Route 17 runs right through the area, giving you a straight shot north toward Gloucester Courthouse or south across the Coleman Bridge into Yorktown and the broader Peninsula. The pace here is decidedly unhurried: locally owned businesses, open land, and a community that hasn't been swallowed by suburban sprawl. For anyone working at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, Somerset Way puts you about eight minutes from the gate — a commute that's genuinely rare in this region. Gloucester County is an independent jurisdiction with its own character, and Hayes reflects that well: accessible, grounded, and a little off the beaten path in the best possible way.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easier than you might expect for a spot this far from the city center. The Farmers Daughter Produce is just half a mile away — a local option that beats any chain for fresh finds. Food Lion is within a mile for full grocery runs, and Dollar General fills the gap for quick stops. Sal's Sicilian Pizza & Restaurant is four-tenths of a mile away when you want a proper sit-down meal, and Hardee's and McDonald's are both under a mile for faster options. Coffee is covered by a Starbucks Coffee Company at 0.7 miles. For fitness, Burn Boot Camp and Anytime Fitness are both within a mile of the front door. Abingdon Park, also under a mile away, gives you green space without a long drive.
