Patriot's Walk offers a wooded suburban setting near Gloucester Village

While Patriot’s Walk is just minutes from Gloucester Village, its two tree-lined entrances give the neighborhood a tucked-away feel from the moment you arrive. Inside, wide roads pass large homes with roomy yards and wooded backdrops. Even the street names follow the neighborhood’s patriotic theme, with nods to Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison and James Monroe.

“You get quiet country living with the feel of a neighborhood because the houses are separate and not right on top of each other,” says Toby Jordan, a Liz Moore & Associates agent who specializes in Patriot’s Walk. “It’s also quite a big neighborhood, which is rare for Gloucester.”

Many homes in Patriot’s Walk feature back decks with wooded backdrops.

More than 200 homes make up Patriot’s Walk, including Cape Cod and New Traditional designs. Construction began in the early 2000s and has continued over the years, with a few new homes recently added to previously vacant lots.

Many homes have two-car garages, open floor plans and modern interiors. Back decks and patios overlook spacious yards, many of which back up to woods. Lot sizes range from about a quarter-acre to more than one acre, while cul-de-sacs give some homes even more separation from passing traffic. Home prices generally range from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$600,000s. Patriot’s Walk also has a homeowners association, with dues currently set at $50 a month.

Gloucester Point Beach and Machicomoco State Park are both about a 30-minute drive.

Nearby shopping, dining and community events

Main Street also hosts several of Gloucester’s biggest annual celebrations. The Daffodil Festival is Gloucester’s signature event, welcoming spring with a parade, vendors and the crowning of the Daffodil Queen. The Gloucester Arts Festival features exhibits, plein-air painting and Symphony Under the Stars every June. In December, the Christmas and Holiday Parade makes its way down Main Street, followed by the annual tree lighting.
