8157 Glass Rd, Hayes, VA 23072

Why this home stands out

What sets 8157 Glass Road apart is the combination of a generous lot — 0.382 acres gives you real breathing room in a county where land still feels attainable — and an easy commute corridor that puts Naval Weapons Station Yorktown about 13 minutes away and Camp Peary roughly 15. The 1965 construction era means solid bones, and the half-acre-class lot opens up genuine outdoor possibilities that tighter suburban parcels simply can't match.

ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market

Hayes sits in Gloucester County on the Middle Peninsula of Virginia, tucked between the York River and the Ware River with a character that's genuinely unhurried. This is small-town coastal Virginia at its most authentic — not a resort strip, not a sprawling suburb, but a community of working waterfront heritage and wide, tree-lined roads where neighbors tend to know each other. Glass Road itself is a quiet residential stretch that keeps the pace calm without feeling remote. Gloucester County's rural-meets-coastal identity means you're never far from a boat launch, a farm stand, or a waterfront sunset, yet the bridge to the Peninsula puts Yorktown, Newport News, and the broader Hampton Roads metro within reach on a weekday morning. For families comparing Hayes homes, the area rewards those who want acreage-class lots and genuine quiet without sacrificing access to major employers and military installations.

What's nearby

Day-to-day life on Glass Road is low-key in the best way. Blues Cruze - Street Side Diner, just 0.6 miles away, is the kind of neighborhood spot that becomes a weekend ritual — close enough to walk on a good morning. Gloucester's Route 17 corridor puts groceries, pharmacies, and hardware stores within a short drive, and the broader Gloucester Courthouse area adds local dining and services to the mix. Outdoor recreation is a natural draw here: public boat ramps, York River State Park, and miles of quiet county roads are all within easy reach for kayakers, anglers, and cyclists alike.
