Why this home stands out
What sets 6740 Cedar Lake Drive apart is its position in Gloucester — a county that trades congestion for breathing room without asking you to sacrifice convenience. At roughly 1,056 square feet, the layout is efficient and purposeful, the kind of footprint that keeps utility costs manageable and daily upkeep straightforward. The 1984 build era means solid bones, and the Cedar Lake Drive address puts you within a short drive of the York River corridor and everything that comes with it.
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. It's the kind of county where the pace slows down without the world closing in — you get genuine small-town character, local seafood, farm stands, and water access, all within a reasonable commute of the Hampton Roads metro. Cedar Lake Drive sits in a residential pocket of the county that feels settled and unhurried. Neighbors tend to know each other, lots have room to breathe, and the surrounding landscape gives the area a distinctly rural-coastal personality that's hard to replicate closer to the city. Gloucester Courthouse, the historic commercial and civic center of the county, is just a short drive away, offering local dining, boutique retail, and community events throughout the year. For buyers who want to trade traffic and density for a quieter daily rhythm — without giving up proximity to bases, the water, or the broader Hampton Roads region — Gloucester consistently earns a second look.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Cedar Lake Drive. A 7-Eleven sits about 0.8 miles away, handling quick coffee runs and convenience stops without a detour. Brown Park, also around 0.8 miles out, gives you a nearby green space for a walk, some fresh air, or an afternoon outside. Gloucester's broader retail and dining corridor along Route 17 is just a short drive beyond that, where you'll find grocery options, pharmacies, and local restaurants. The York River waterfront and Gloucester Point are within easy reach for anyone who wants to get on the water on a weekend.
