3789 Coates Ln, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

Hayes sits on the Middle Peninsula in a way that feels genuinely removed from the noise of the Hampton Roads metro, yet keeps you connected to it. A 1987 build at 2,000 square feet gives you real living space — enough room for a home office, a guest room, and still have a proper primary suite. Gloucester County's lower density means larger lots, more trees, and neighbors who tend to know each other's names.

About the Hayes real estate market

Hayes is an unincorporated community in Gloucester County, Virginia, straddling the point where Route 17 meets the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge over the York River. It has the feel of a working waterfront community that never got overrun — marinas, bait shops, and open sky sit alongside newer conveniences without losing the area's character. Gloucester County governance means a different tax jurisdiction than the independent cities across the water, and that distinction matters to buyers who have done their homework. The broader Hayes and Gloucester Point corridor is the kind of place where homes for sale in Virginia 23072 tend to draw buyers who want acreage-class lots and elbow room without sacrificing access to the Peninsula. Daily life here moves at a pace you choose, not one imposed on you.

What's nearby

The Coleman Bridge puts you across the York River and into Yorktown in minutes — historic battlefields, Riverwalk Landing, and waterfront dining are all close. Gloucester Courthouse Village is a short drive north for local restaurants, a farmers market, and everyday errands. Publix and Walmart anchor the Route 17 corridor for grocery runs. York River State Park is nearby for hiking and kayak launches. If you work or have family across the Peninsula, Newport News and Williamsburg are both reachable without a long highway slog.
