Why this home stands out
Size and setting together are hard to find in this zip code, and 184 Highland delivers both. The 2000-built home gives you room to spread out across more than 4,500 square feet without sacrificing proximity to Ford's Colony Country Club, the botanical garden, and the kind of mature, tree-lined streetscape that takes decades to grow. Among Williamsburg homes for sale, this combination of square footage, community amenities, and established neighborhood character is genuinely uncommon.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of Williamsburg's most recognized planned communities — a gated, golf-course neighborhood where winding roads, mature hardwoods, and a strong sense of place set the tone from the moment you arrive. The community anchors the western edge of James City County, giving residents the quiet of a residential enclave with quick access to everything the greater Williamsburg area offers. Williamsburg itself balances colonial history with a surprisingly modern day-to-day rhythm: the College of William & Mary, a thriving arts scene, and a restaurant culture that punches well above the city's size. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg often discover that the 23188 zip code sits in a sweet spot — far enough from the tourist corridor for genuine neighborhood calm, close enough to tap into everything that makes this city worth living in.

For fresh air and green space, the Williamsburg Botanical Garden and Freedom Park Arboretum is under a mile away, and Freedom Park itself is just a few minutes beyond that — hundreds of acres of trails, meadows, and history right on the edge of the neighborhood.
