Why this home stands out
What sets 213 Dogleg Drive apart is its address inside Ford's Colony — one of Williamsburg's most established planned communities, where tree-lined streets, golf, and a genuine sense of neighborhood character come standard. At 2,274 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the footprint is generous without being oversized, and the 1988 construction era means solid bones with room to personalize exactly the way you want.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is the kind of community that earns its reputation over decades. Developed around a championship golf course and anchored by the Ford's Colony Country Club, the neighborhood carries a quiet, established energy — mature trees, well-kept streetscapes, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. Dogleg Drive sits comfortably within that fabric, close enough to the club to feel connected but tucked enough to feel private. Williamsburg itself is a city that punches well above its size. Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and a thriving restaurant and arts scene give the city genuine cultural weight, while the James City County jurisdiction keeps the overall pace measured and livable. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg often land here specifically because the city offers that rare combination: history, community, and real infrastructure — without the congestion of a larger metro. The 23188 zip code covers a broad swath of the greater Williamsburg area, and Dogleg Drive sits in one of its more desirable pockets.

The Ford's Colony Country Club, also 0.4 miles out, gives you access to golf, fitness, and social programming without leaving the neighborhood. For everyday errands, the Williamsburg Crossing and Monticello Marketplace shopping centers are a short drive east on Route 60, covering groceries, pharmacy, and dining. Busch Gardens and Water Country USA sit less than ten minutes away, which matters more than you'd think if you have kids or out-of-town guests on a regular basis.
