THE GLOUCESTER POINT LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes setting.

Gloucester Point CDP has 9.4 square miles of land in Gloucester County. Its Census reference point is in Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes, within Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain.

Low coastal plains contain terraces, estuaries, marshes and barrier islands. Unconsolidated sediments underlie this varied coastal setting, with forest patterns changing near streams and low-lying areas.

Gloucester Point and Gloucester County

Gloucester Point is associated with Gloucester County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Gloucester County

Gloucester Point by land and water

The Census records 6.97 square miles of water within Gloucester Point, or 42.6% of its total area. It is 18.2 percentage points higher than the 24.4% recorded for Gloucester County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Gloucester Point CDP has 14.9 times the land area of nearby Yorktown CDP (0.63 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Gloucester Point land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Gloucester Point’s place name from its government

Gloucester Point is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Gloucester Point address as city approval. Gloucester County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes setting

Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes belongs to Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain. Where is the parcel relative to a terrace, estuary or coastal lowland, and which current elevation and drainage records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Yorktown

Yorktown is 2.8 miles southwest of the Gloucester Point reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Gloucester Point
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Gloucester Point?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Gloucester County. Gloucester Point’s 9.4 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Gloucester Point property in Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes?+

No. Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Gloucester Point boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Yorktown as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.8 miles southwest of Gloucester Point’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Gloucester Point?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
