Why this home stands out
Nearly 4,900 square feet across five bedrooms and three and a half baths gives everyone in the household room to spread out — whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a playroom that actually stays tidy. Built in 1997, the home sits in a mature residential pocket of Williamsburg where lot sizes tend to be generous and the streetscape has a settled, established feel that newer subdivisions simply haven't had time to develop.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg occupies a unique corner of Hampton Roads — a small city with genuine historic weight, a walkable colonial district, and a day-to-day livability that draws both longtime Virginians and newcomers looking for something beyond the typical suburb. The 23188 zip code covers the western and northwestern reaches of the city, where you're trading the tourist bustle of the historic area for quieter residential streets lined with mature trees and well-kept homes. Neighborhoods here tend to attract households that want proximity to Williamsburg's amenities — the College of William & Mary, the Colonial Williamsburg campus, a solid local dining scene, and easy access to Interstate 64 — without being in the middle of all of it. The pace is comfortable without being remote. You're close enough to Richmond and the broader Hampton Roads metro to tap into those job markets, yet far enough away that the drive home actually feels like leaving work behind. For families, professionals, and military households alike, this part of Williamsburg hits a reliable sweet spot.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from 117 Leeds. Williamsburg Premium Outlets and the retail corridor along Richmond Road put grocery stores, pharmacies, and big-box shopping within a short drive. The Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area is roughly ten minutes east, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg is close enough to make a spontaneous afternoon trip genuinely feasible. For green space, Freedom Park and the Capital Trail offer outdoor options that don't require a long haul. Interstate 64 access is convenient, connecting you north toward Richmond or south and east into the broader Hampton Roads region whenever the day calls for it.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary sits about 16 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is a 24-minute drive — both well within a reasonable commute window. Williamsburg's stable housing market and strong community infrastructure make it a popular landing spot for military households, and a VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than you might expect. Five bedrooms gives the whole family breathing room through any PCS transition.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current space, 4,899 square feet across five bedrooms and three and a half baths represents a meaningful step up. There's room for a dedicated home office, a proper guest room, and still have bedrooms left over for every kid. The 1997 build means the floor plan reflects how families actually live — not a chopped-up layout from an earlier era — and Williamsburg's established neighborhoods offer the kind of community feel that makes upgrading feel like a long-term decision, not just a bigger mortgage.
