Why this home stands out
Built in 2017, this home skips the quirks of older construction and delivers the kind of tight building envelope, modern mechanicals, and open-concept flow that newer buyers have come to expect. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and nearly 1,900 square feet give you room to spread out — all in a low-key Hayes neighborhood where the pace of life is noticeably slower than the surrounding metro.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Hayes real estate market
Hayes sits in the heart of Gloucester County on the Virginia Peninsula, tucked between the York River to the south and the broader Middle Peninsula landscape to the north. It's one of those places where you get genuine breathing room — larger lots, tree lines between neighbors, and a community feel that's hard to manufacture. Diane Ave fits that mold well. The street is residential and quiet, with the kind of low-traffic character that makes it easy to decompress after a long day. Gloucester County governs this area, which means a more rural administrative feel compared to the denser cities across the water. The Hayes zip code (23072) is a draw for buyers who want proximity to Hampton Roads employment corridors without the density of Virginia Beach or Norfolk. The Coleman Bridge connects you to Yorktown and the broader Peninsula in minutes, and the York River is never far from view when you're moving around the area. Daily life here is genuinely unhurried, and that's the point.
What's nearby
Everyday errands are straightforward from Diane Ave. A Walmart Supercenter and Food Lion in the Gloucester Courthouse area cover grocery runs, and several local pharmacies are within a short drive. For coffee, Starbucks and a handful of independent cafes are reachable along the Route 17 corridor. The York River State Park is a short drive north and offers hiking, paddling, and river access worth having in your back pocket. Yorktown's waterfront, with its restaurants and historic sites, is roughly 20 minutes away via the Coleman Bridge. Route 17 is your main artery and keeps most of what you need within a manageable radius.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 17 minutes from Diane Ave, and Camp Peary sits roughly 20 minutes out — two major installations within easy reach of a single address. For service members using a VA loan, a 2017-built home with modern systems and no deferred maintenance backlog is a practical starting point. The Gloucester County location also puts you outside the densest traffic corridors, which matters on early-morning report times.
For first-time buyers
A 2017 build means you're starting with modern construction standards — energy-efficient windows, updated HVAC, and systems that aren't approaching end-of-life. At 1,908 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's room to grow without overextending. Hayes offers a quieter entry point into homeownership compared to the busier Peninsula cities, and the VA loan benefit is a strong tool for eligible buyers looking to make this address home.
