Why this home stands out
What sets 6991 Lakeside Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage, a well-established 2007 build quality, and a location in Seawells Trace that keeps two major military installations within a 15-minute drive. The quarter-acre lot gives you real outdoor space without the upkeep of acreage, and the neighborhood's mature feel means you get community character alongside modern construction.
SEAWELLS TRACE and the Hayes real estate market
Seawells Trace is a residential community in Hayes, Virginia, sitting within Gloucester County on the Middle Peninsula — a part of the state where the pace is a little slower and the water is never far away. Hayes itself is a small, unincorporated community that punches above its weight for convenience: you're close to the George P. Coleman Bridge, which links you to Yorktown and the wider Hampton Roads metro in minutes. Gloucester County living means lower density, larger lots, and a genuine small-town atmosphere without sacrificing access to major employers and military installations. The Seawells Trace neighborhood features colonial-style homes from the mid-2000s, giving the streetscape a cohesive, well-kept character. Neighbors tend to put down roots here — it's the kind of subdivision where people know each other's names. If you value space, quiet streets, and a community that feels like a real neighborhood rather than a transit corridor, Hayes and Seawells Trace deliver exactly that.
