Why this home stands out
What sets Glenside CT apart is the combination of generous square footage — 3,200 feet across five bedrooms — and a location that puts you within half a mile of local dining, fresh produce, and green space, all while keeping two major military installations within a half-hour drive. For a home of this size, the walkability to Gloucester Courthouse Village is genuinely rare.
BEAVER DAM and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia carries a character you don't find everywhere — a working county seat with deep colonial roots, a lively courthouse village, and a pace of life that feels intentional rather than sleepy. Glenside CT sits close to the heart of that village, where local restaurants, specialty markets, and a pocket park are all within a few minutes on foot. The broader county stretches toward the York River and Chesapeake Bay, giving residents access to waterfront scenery and outdoor recreation without the density of larger Hampton Roads cities. Gloucester Point, just south, connects the county to the Peninsula via the Coleman Bridge, making commutes to Williamsburg, Newport News, and beyond genuinely manageable. It's the kind of address that anchors a lifestyle — community-scaled, historically textured, and quieter than most.

For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 20 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 26 minutes — both well within a comfortable daily commute.

Five bedrooms and four and a half baths across 3,200 square feet give a growing family genuine room to breathe — dedicated spaces for work, guests, and everyday life without the constant negotiation for square footage.

Gloucester's village-scale community means your kids grow up knowing their neighbors.
