Why this home stands out
What sets 3717 Shackleton LN apart is the combination of a well-proportioned 0.36-acre lot and a location that puts you within a short drive of two military installations — Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown — while keeping you close to a walkable cluster of shops, restaurants, fitness studios, and parks. The 1,998-built single-family footprint offers real breathing room at 1,916 square feet without the density of newer townhome developments nearby.
THE MEADOWS and the Williamsburg real estate market
THE MEADOWS is a quiet, established residential subdivision tucked into the western edge of Williamsburg, Virginia. Streets here are calm and tree-lined, lots run on the larger side, and neighbors tend to put down roots — the kind of community where you recognize faces on the walking path. Williamsburg itself carries a character that's genuinely hard to replicate: colonial history, a world-class research university, and a surprisingly robust local economy all share the same zip code. If you've been browsing city of williamsburg real estate, you already know that this market draws a diverse mix of buyers — military families, retirees, academics, and young professionals all call the area home. James City County surrounds much of the city, and 23188 sits right at that boundary, giving residents easy access to county amenities alongside city conveniences. The broader Williamsburg corridor along Richmond Road and Monticello Avenue has matured into a full-service corridor with specialty grocers, fitness boutiques, and green space — all within a short drive or even a comfortable walk from Shackleton LN.
