Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means you're getting the latest building codes, fresh systems, and zero deferred maintenance — a meaningful advantage in a region where older housing stock dominates. The half-bath on the main level keeps daily life tidy, and the three-bedroom layout gives you genuine flexibility whether you need a home office, a guest room, or room to grow. Hayes sits in Gloucester County, which adds a quieter, more rural feel without sacrificing access to the Peninsula's amenities.
RIVER CLUB AT TWIN ISLAND and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes is a small, unincorporated community in Gloucester County that sits along the western shore of the York River. It has the feel of a close-knit waterfront county — unhurried, green, and genuinely residential — while still being a practical drive from the larger employment and retail corridors of the Middle Peninsula and Greater Hampton Roads. Somerset Way itself is a residential street in a quiet pocket of Hayes, surrounded by newer homes and modest wooded lots. Gloucester County governs the area, meaning lower population density and a different pace than the urban cores across the water. The York River Bridge connects Hayes to Yorktown and the broader Peninsula in minutes, making Naval Weapons Station Yorktown an easy eight-minute commute. Whether you're drawn to the slower rhythm of county living or simply want more space per square foot than the denser cities offer, Hayes delivers a compelling case.
