YORK RIVER FARMS and the Hayes real estate market

The Peninsula itself is a unique corner of the region, anchored by military installations and maritime heritage. Williamsburg lies about 20 minutes south, offering dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. Norfolk and the broader Hampton Roads area are within 45 minutes, so you can reach urban amenities without living in one. Getting around is straightforward—local roads connect easily to Route 17 and I-64.
