6823 Watch Harbour Circle, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

What sets 6823 Watch Harbour Circle apart is its position on the Virginia Peninsula — a slice of Gloucester County where the pace slows down, lot sizes breathe, and you're still within a short drive of two major installations. The 2010 build means you get a floor plan that reflects how people actually live today, with over 2,000 square feet spread across three bedrooms and a practical half-bath on the main level.

SEAWELLS TRACE and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes sits along the western shore of the York River in Gloucester County — a community that trades city density for open roads, mature trees, and genuine breathing room. This corner of the Virginia Peninsula has a character all its own: it's close enough to Williamsburg, Newport News, and the broader Hampton Roads metro to tap into their amenities, yet far enough removed that the neighborhood streets stay quiet. Watch Harbour Circle itself has the feel of an established, low-traffic residential pocket — the kind of address where neighbors know each other and evenings on the porch are a real option. Gloucester County governs the area, which means a different tax jurisdiction than the cities across the water. For buyers comparing options across the peninsula, Hayes consistently comes up as an underappreciated value corridor with genuine small-town character.

What's nearby

Day-to-day convenience is closer than you might expect for a neighborhood this peaceful. The Office Bar and Grille is just 0.4 miles away — a solid local spot for a casual dinner or weekend lunch without the drive. IDK Bar and Grill is another half-mile option when you want to mix it up. A 7-Eleven within 0.5 miles covers the quick coffee run or last-minute errand. For larger grocery runs, shopping, and dining variety, the Route 17 corridor through Gloucester and the bridges into York County open up a much wider range within 15 to 20 minutes.
