Why this home stands out
What sets 5508 York Haven Lane apart is the sheer scale of the floor plan relative to the surrounding area. At 4,009 square feet, this three-bedroom, three-full-and-two-half-bath home offers the kind of generous room proportions — wide common areas, multiple bathrooms, and real flexibility — that are genuinely hard to find in Gloucester at this size. The 1991 construction era means solid bones with layouts designed for how families actually live.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula between the York River and the Piankatank River, and it carries a distinct character that sets it apart from the denser Hampton Roads metros across the water. Life here moves at a measured pace — you get genuine open space, mature tree canopies, and a community that still feels like a place rather than a development. York Haven Lane itself is a quiet residential lane that keeps through-traffic to a minimum, so the neighborhood backdrop is peaceful without being remote. Gloucester Courthouse, the historic civic and commercial heart of the county, is a short drive away, giving you access to local dining, boutique shops, and county services without the sprawl of a larger city. The broader Gloucester County community has grown steadily while preserving the rural-coastal identity that draws people here in the first place — a balance that makes Gloucester homes for sale consistently appealing to buyers who want space without isolation.
What's nearby
Daily life is well-supported from York Haven Lane. Gloucester's main commercial corridor along Route 17 puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and national retailers within a short drive. The historic Gloucester Courthouse area offers local restaurants, coffee, and community gathering spots that give the county its distinct small-town feel. Outdoor recreation is a natural draw here — the York River State Park is accessible within the broader region, and the county's waterways invite kayaking, fishing, and boating. The Coleman Bridge connects Gloucester to Yorktown and the wider Hampton Roads area in under 30 minutes, keeping you linked to a much larger metro without living inside it.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 11 minutes from the front door, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 20 minutes out — a pairing that makes 5508 York Haven Lane genuinely practical for dual-military households or anyone juggling assignments at both installations. A VA loan can stretch further here than in denser Hampton Roads zip codes, and the square footage means you're not cramped through a long tour.
For families upgrading
Four thousand square feet gives a growing family real breathing room — separate spaces for work, play, and quiet, plus three full baths that eliminate the morning bottleneck. If you're comparing Gloucester homes for sale and need a floor plan that can absorb a home office, a guest suite, and still have a dedicated family gathering space, this 1991-built home checks those boxes without asking you to compromise.
