Why this home stands out
With 3,400 square feet spread across four bedrooms and three and a half baths, this 1988-built home gives you genuine room to spread out — not just on paper, but in the way daily life actually flows. The floor plan has the kind of proportions that make hosting easy, working from home comfortable, and quiet evenings genuinely quiet. That combination of scale and livability is harder to find in Williamsburg than you might expect.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg carries a reputation that precedes it — colonial history, brick-lined streets, and a pace of life that feels deliberately unhurried. What surprises many people who move here is how well that character holds up beyond the tourist corridor. Residential Williamsburg is full of mature tree canopy, winding roads, and neighborhoods where homes have real lot depth and genuine separation from neighbors. The Alwoodley address sits in the western James City County portion of the Williamsburg area, a section that tends to attract buyers who want proximity to the city's amenities without being in the thick of them. You're close enough to Colonial Williamsburg, the College of William & Mary campus, and the broader New Town commercial district to feel connected, but far enough to exhale when you pull into the driveway. The area has grown steadily over the decades since this home was built, and the surrounding infrastructure — roads, utilities, commercial services — reflects that maturity.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Alwoodley. New Town puts grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and a movie theater within a short drive, and the mix of national chains alongside locally owned spots means you're not locked into one style of errand run. Busch Gardens and Water Country USA are close enough to be a genuine afternoon option rather than a production. The Virginia Capital Trail offers serious cycling and walking infrastructure nearby, and Waller Mill Park gives you lake access, trails, and open space without leaving the county. For coffee and a slower morning, the cafes along Richmond Road and around Merchants Square cover the range from quick to leisurely.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 18 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown adds another option about 26 minutes out. For households weighing a VA loan, Williamsburg's stable property values and relatively low turnover make it a market worth understanding carefully before committing. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths means the floor plan has real flexibility for families at different stages of a military career.
For families upgrading
If your current home has you counting square feet and sharing bathrooms, 3,400 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths changes the math considerably. The 1988 build era means structural bones with decades of proven performance, and Williamsburg's overall stability as a market means an upgrade here tends to hold its footing over time. There's room for everyone to have their own space — and then some.
