6807 Short Ln, Gloucester, VA 23061

Why this home stands out

What sets 6807 Short Lane apart is the combination of generous square footage for a three-bedroom home and its position in Gloucester County — a jurisdiction that trades the density of Hampton Roads for elbow room, mature trees, and a small-town feel that's increasingly hard to find. At 2,134 square feet, there's real breathing room here, and the 1995 build year puts it in a sweet spot of solid construction without the maintenance demands of an older home.

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 a county that moves at its own pace — one where you're as likely to pass a farm stand as a chain restaurant on your way home. The courthouse area anchors a modest but genuine downtown with local shops and a historic courthouse green that dates back centuries. Residential streets like Short Lane tend to be quiet and low-traffic, surrounded by mature woodland and the kind of neighbors who wave from their driveways. Gloucester County is an independent jurisdiction with its own schools, services, and character — distinct from the urban sprawl of Virginia Beach or Norfolk. For buyers who want space without total isolation, Gloucester delivers: you're close enough to Williamsburg and the Peninsula for work or weekend plans, yet far enough away to actually hear the quiet.
