897 Tyler Dr, Williamsburg, VA 23185

Why this home stands out

What sets 897 Tyler Drive apart is its location inside James Terrace, a quiet, established Williamsburg neighborhood where the streets feel genuinely lived-in and the proximity to both Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is hard to beat. At 1,400 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, the layout is efficient without feeling cramped — and the surrounding area means you're never far from what you need.

JAMES TERRACE and the Williamsburg real estate market

James Terrace sits in the heart of Williamsburg, Virginia — a city that balances colonial history with a surprisingly modern, walkable daily life. The neighborhood itself has a settled, residential character: mature trees, familiar faces, and streets that don't feel like cut-throughs. It's the kind of place where people put down roots. Williamsburg real estate in this pocket tends to attract buyers who want proximity to military installations without sacrificing access to the city's broader amenities — the Colonial Williamsburg historic district, William & Mary's campus energy, and a restaurant and retail scene that punches above the city's size. James Terrace is tucked into the city's eastern side, which puts you close to Route 60 and the Colonial Parkway corridor. Whether you're commuting toward the Peninsula's military bases or heading into the historic area for the evening, the location works hard for you.
