Why this home stands out
What sets 6888 Motley Landing Drive apart is the combination of a newer build — completed in 2021 — with an unbeatable everyday convenience factor. You're within a half-mile of two grocery stores, multiple dining options, and a coffee shop, yet you're still in Gloucester's quieter, small-town atmosphere. A three-year-old home means modern construction standards without the wait of new development.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia is one of the Middle Peninsula's most approachable small towns — the kind of place where the pace feels intentional and the community runs deep. Gloucester Courthouse, the county seat, anchors the area with local government, shops, and a historic district that gives the town genuine character. The surrounding county is a mix of farmland, waterways, and established neighborhoods, with the York River and Mobjack Bay shaping both the landscape and the lifestyle. Residents here tend to value space, authenticity, and a slower rhythm than you'll find across the Coleman Bridge in Yorktown or further into the Hampton Roads metro. The primary commercial corridor along Route 17 — where 6888 Motley Landing Drive sits — brings everyday convenience right to your doorstep without overwhelming the area's residential feel. Gloucester is a genuinely livable community in Gloucester County, Virginia, and for buyers who want proximity to the coast and military installations without the density of Virginia Beach or Norfolk, it consistently earns a second look.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 18 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 24 minutes — both very manageable for daily commutes. A VA loan can make a newer build like this even more accessible, and the low-maintenance profile of a 2021 home is a real advantage during PCS transitions when your time and energy are already stretched thin.
For first-time buyers
A 2021 build means you're starting with modern systems, current construction standards, and minimal deferred maintenance — exactly what you want when you're buying your first home. The walkable access to groceries, dining, and fitness removes a lot of daily friction, and Gloucester's relatively accessible price point compared to the broader Hampton Roads market makes this a smart place to plant roots.
