Why this home stands out
What sets 6394 Meadow Drive apart is its combination of genuine quiet and genuine convenience. Beaverdam Park is practically at the end of the street, giving you trails, water, and open space without a long drive. The home's 1986 construction means solid bones in a single-level-friendly era, and with Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown both reachable in under 30 minutes, the location works hard for a wide range of households.
ALL OTHERS AREA 121 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, tucked between the York River to the south and the Piankatank River to the north — a setting that gives the county a distinctly unhurried, waterfront-adjacent character without the density of the Hampton Roads metro. Meadow Drive sits in a residential pocket of Gloucester County where lots tend to run generous and neighbors tend to know each other's names. The broader community of Gloucester is anchored by its historic courthouse village, a working waterfront at Gloucester Point, and a genuine small-town rhythm that's increasingly hard to find this close to major employment corridors. Route 17 is the county's main artery, connecting you north toward Yorktown and south toward the Coleman Bridge and the Peninsula in under 20 minutes. For families comparing homes for sale in Gloucester, the county's low-density character and access to outdoor recreation are consistently among the top draws.
What's nearby
Beaverdam Park is the headline neighbor here — just 0.6 miles from the front door, it offers hiking trails, a lake, kayak launches, and open green space that most suburban addresses can only wish for. Beyond the park, Gloucester's Route 17 corridor puts grocery runs, pharmacies, and everyday retail within a short drive. The Gloucester Courthouse area, a few miles north, adds local dining, a farmers market scene, and the kind of walkable historic district that gives a town its identity. Gloucester Point, to the south, brings you to the York River waterfront and the Coleman Bridge crossing into Yorktown.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is 22 minutes away and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is 29 — both well within a comfortable daily commute. A VA loan can make a home like this on Meadow Drive straightforward to finance, and Gloucester County's lower cost of living stretches a BAH dollar further than many closer-in zip codes. It's a legitimate option for service members who want space and quiet without sacrificing proximity to the installation.
For first-time buyers
At 1,200 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.1 baths, 6394 Meadow Drive is sized right for a first purchase — enough room to live comfortably without taking on more house than you need. Beaverdam Park half a mile away means your weekends have a built-in destination, and Gloucester County's pace makes it an easier place to put down roots than a busier metro neighborhood. A VA loan is worth exploring if you have military service in your background.
