Why this home stands out
Built in 2026, this five-bedroom home gives you the rare combination of new construction scale and a Gloucester County address — meaning lower land costs, a quieter pace, and genuine square footage that's hard to find closer to the water. At 2,974 square feet with three full baths, there's room to grow, room to host, and room to finally stop compromising on space.
PATRIOTS WALK and the Gloucester real estate market
Patriots Walk sits in Gloucester, Virginia — a county that trades urban density for wide roads, mature trees, and a community that actually knows its neighbors. Gloucester 23061 real estate draws buyers who want breathing room without giving up convenience entirely. The neighborhood itself carries that same spirit: newer homes, generous lots, and a streetscape that feels intentional rather than crammed. Gloucester Courthouse, the county seat, is just a short drive away and anchors local life with a farmers market, independent shops, and a historic district that dates back centuries. The broader Middle Peninsula puts you between the York River and the Piankatank, so weekend kayaking, fishing, and waterfront dining are genuinely part of the lifestyle here — not just a marketing line. It's a place where the commute is the trade-off, and for many families, it's a trade-off they make happily.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from Thomas Jefferson Way. Gloucester's main commercial corridor along George Washington Memorial Highway puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and big-box retailers within a 10-to-15-minute drive. For coffee and casual dining, the Courthouse area offers locally owned options that regulars swear by. Yorktown is roughly 30 minutes south, adding waterfront restaurants and the Colonial National Historical Park to your weekend rotation. Williamsburg — with its outlet shopping, College of William & Mary events, and Historic Triangle attractions — sits about 35 minutes away. Newport News and Hampton are reachable in under an hour, keeping the broader Hampton Roads metro well within reach.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is about 26 minutes from the front door, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown runs roughly 31 minutes down the road — both well within a manageable daily commute. A VA loan can make new construction like this even more accessible, and Gloucester's price points tend to stretch your BAH further than you'd expect closer to base.
For families upgrading
Five bedrooms and three full baths in a brand-new 2026 build means everyone gets their own space — and then some. Whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a playroom that can eventually become a teenager's retreat, 2,974 square feet gives you the flexibility to plan ahead instead of outgrowing your home in three years.
