139 Great Glen, Williamsburg, VA 23188

Why this home stands out

What sets 139 Great Glen apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,800 feet across four bedrooms — and a location that quietly delivers on every front. You're close enough to two military installations to keep a commute manageable, yet planted firmly in the residential calm of James City County. The 2006 build means the bones are modern without the premium of new construction, and the layout with two full baths plus two half baths handles a full household without the morning traffic jam.

FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market

Great Glen sits within Williamsburg's James City County side, a stretch of the region that trades the tourist bustle of Colonial Williamsburg for tree-lined streets and a genuinely livable pace. The 23188 zip code covers a broad swath of western Williamsburg where subdivisions feel established rather than freshly paved — neighbors have been here long enough to wave from the driveway. James City County is its own jurisdiction, which matters for services, taxes, and planning decisions, so you're not in the City of Williamsburg proper even though the mailing address reads the same. For families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg, the county side often offers more square footage per dollar and quieter streets without sacrificing access to the area's best amenities. Williamsburg as a whole punches well above its size — world-class history, a strong arts scene, and College of William & Mary energy woven into everyday life.
