Why this home stands out
Most Williamsburg townhomes make you drive everywhere. This one doesn't. Sitting inside New Town — the city's planned live-work-play district — 4939 Settlers Market Boulevard offers three bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 2,360 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out space finished to 2017 standards, all within easy walking distance of groceries, fitness studios, coffee, and green space. It's a genuinely rare combination in this market.
NEW TOWN and the Williamsburg real estate market
New Town is Williamsburg's answer to the question: what if a neighborhood had everything built in from the start? Modeled on traditional town-center design, the district blends residential streets with retail, dining, and office space in a way that feels organic rather than forced. Tree-lined sidewalks connect townhomes and single-family streets to shops and parks without a single highway crossing. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg often land here specifically because the walkability score is unusually high for a Virginia Peninsula address. The broader city of Williamsburg carries its own gravitational pull — Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and a thriving restaurant scene are all within a short drive. James City County jurisdiction means you're just outside city limits while still enjoying full access to everything Williamsburg offers. For anyone browsing homes for sale in 23188, this zip code sits at a genuine crossroads of history, convenience, and community.
What's nearby
Step outside and daily errands essentially handle themselves. Trader Joe's is two-tenths of a mile away, and World Market is even closer at a tenth of a mile. Chicken Salad Chick, Noodles and Company, and Which Wich are all within a quarter mile when you'd rather not cook. Starbucks Coffee Company is a three-minute walk, with Wawa and Anonymous Coffee rounding out your morning options a bit further along. Club Pilates, StretchLab, and Pure Barre form a fitness triangle within four-tenths of a mile. Roper Homestead Park and Elizabeth Davis Park offer green space within easy walking distance, and Zoom Room Dog Training is just over a half mile away — handy if a four-legged family member is part of the picture.
