What it’s like

The place. Gloucester Point is a community on the Virginia shore, where most homes are lived in by their owners and a four-year degree is less common than across much of the country. Household incomes run below the county's, and the typical home is worth a good deal more than many older buyers might expect. Winters are cold but short, with summers that turn hot in July, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and banks, insurance and property also employing many people. Across Gloucester County, some of the largest workplaces are Gloucester County Public Schools, Walmart and Riverside Walter Reed. Unemployment is low and has held steady over the past year, and job numbers across the county have barely changed. The typical commute is a long one, and some residents work from home.

Things to do. Colonial National Historical Park, a protected area of the nation's early history, is a short drive away, as is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, a large zoo and theme park. The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum is also a short drive off. A longer drive brings you to Colonial Williamsburg, one of the best known history museums in the country.
