Why this home stands out
What sets 42 Gurwen Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage, a half-acre-plus lot approaching a full acre, and a location that feels genuinely removed from the noise of the city without putting you far from anything you actually need. Days Point is a low-traffic, residential pocket of Smithfield where nearly-acre lots are the norm rather than the exception — and that kind of breathing room is increasingly hard to find at any price point in Hampton Roads.
DAYS POINT and the Smithfield real estate market
Days Point sits along the western shore of the James River in Isle of Wight County, giving the neighborhood a quiet, unhurried character that draws people who want space without sacrificing convenience. Smithfield itself is one of Hampton Roads' most distinctive small cities — a walkable, historic downtown anchored by brick storefronts, locally owned restaurants, and the kind of community calendar that actually gets people out of the house. The city's identity runs deep: this is the Smithfield ham capital of the world, and that heritage shows up in the local culture in the best possible ways. Streets near Days Point tend to be lightly traveled, lots are generous, and neighbors tend to stay for years. For buyers searching for Days Point Smithfield VA real estate, the draw is consistent — privacy and land without the isolation of a truly rural address. Isle of Wight County's lower density means more green space, less congestion, and a noticeably slower pace of daily life compared to the denser cities across the water.
What's nearby
Step outside and Fort Boykin Historic Park is less than a mile away — a riverside bluff park with sweeping James River views, walking trails, and Civil War-era earthworks that make for an easy afternoon without getting in the car. Smithfield's downtown shops and dining are a short drive, and the broader Isle of Wight County corridor connects you to grocery, pharmacy, and everyday retail without a long haul. The James River Bridge puts Newport News within reach in under 20 minutes, opening up a much wider ring of amenities whenever you want them.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Base Langley-Eustis — both the Fort Eustis and Langley sides — is well within a practical commute from 42 Gurwen Drive, at roughly 18 and 29 minutes respectively. Isle of Wight County's lower cost of living stretches a BAH allowance further than many Hampton Roads zip codes, and a VA loan makes a nearly-acre lot like this one genuinely accessible for eligible service members and veterans.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's shrinking, 42 Gurwen Drive offers a real reset. Four bedrooms, three full baths plus a half bath, and 2,489 square feet give everyone dedicated space — and the nearly one-acre lot means the backyard can actually become something: a play area, a garden, a firepit, all of it. This is the kind of property families grow into rather than out of.
