6208 Ruth Drive is a five-bedroom, 2.1-bath home in Gloucester, Virginia — 2,716 square feet built in 2007. With Camp Peary just 18 minutes away and everyday conveniences less than a mile out, this address makes daily life genuinely easy.
Five bedrooms in a 2,716-square-foot footprint gives you real flexibility — a dedicated home office, a guest room, and still room for everyone to spread out. Built in 2007, the home hits that sweet spot between modern construction standards and a neighborhood that's already established and settled. Gloucester's slower pace and lower density set it apart from the more congested corridors across the water.
COURTHOUSE SQUARE and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, tucked between the York River and the Piankatank River — a county that trades traffic-clogged suburbs for open roads, mature trees, and a genuine small-town feel. The courthouse area anchors local life with independent shops, a farmers market tradition, and a walkable main street that actually gets used. Gloucester County is part of the broader Hampton Roads region but operates on its own rhythm: quieter, more rural in character, and fiercely proud of it. For buyers who want space without sacrificing access, this corner of coastal Virginia delivers. The county's location puts you within reach of the Peninsula's employment corridors while keeping you well clear of the congestion that defines them. It's the kind of address that anchors Gloucester homes for sale in a genuinely livable way.

Everyday errands are almost effortless from Ruth Drive. Food Lion is 0.7 miles out, Walmart Supercenter is 0.9 miles, and Ware Neck Produce adds a local option at the same distance. When you're ready to eat out, The Brew, No. 1 Restaurant, and Porter's On Main are all within 0.7 miles. Sweet Tooth Cafe and Kelsick Specialty Market handle your coffee needs nearby. Riverside Wellness & Fitness Center is 0.7 miles away, Bayaging Gloucester Active Lifestyle Center is under a mile, and Tucker Store Pocket Park gives you a quick green-space escape just down the road.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
Camp Peary is an 18-minute drive from Ruth Drive, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 25 minutes out — both well within a practical commute window. Five bedrooms give you the space military families often need, and a VA loan can make the financing side of this purchase straightforward. Gloucester's lower cost of living stretches that benefit even further.
Room to grow
Five bedrooms and 2,716 square feet give a growing family genuine room to breathe — dedicated space for guests, a home office, or a playroom without anyone feeling squeezed. The 2007 build means you're working with solid modern construction, and the surrounding Gloucester community offers the kind of quieter, less-crowded environment that makes raising kids feel a little less chaotic.
