About Ford's Colony
Ford's Colony is one of the largest planned communities in the Williamsburg area, with about 3,200 acres in James City County and more than 2,800 homes, about 95 percent of them single-family. Nearly 54 percent of the land is open space, including ponds, wetlands and wooded buffers.
The homeowners association maintains 13 ponds, 12 miles of paved trails and a 1.3-mile nature trail, and it operates two neighborhood facilities with pools, courts and meeting space. Ford's Colony Country Club, which has three Dan Maples golf courses, is a separate club with optional memberships.
The homes
Most homes in Ford's Colony are single-family houses on lots near fairways, ponds, wooded buffers and neighborhood streets. Some sections have townhomes or condominiums, and a few condominium communities, such as Eaglescliffe, have their own associations.
Of the 165 homes that closed in the past year, 148 were single-family houses and 17 were townhomes or condominiums. Another 15 sales were homesites. The houses had a median size of about 3,350 square feet and were built between 1980 and 2025, with a median build year of 2003. The townhomes and condominiums were mostly newer, with a median build year of 2025.

Country club membership
Ford's Colony Country Club is a separate club with 54 holes of golf on three Dan Maples courses, plus dining and social programs. Membership is optional, and rates vary by membership type, so ask the club for its current schedule. Owners can use the association's pools, courts and trails without joining the club.
HOA and fees
The Ford's Colony Homeowners Association (FCHOA) maintains the common grounds, roads, ponds and facilities, runs a 24-hour security service and oversees architectural review. Some sections and condominium communities have their own sub-associations with separate fees, so the total depends on the address.

Single-family homes: most recent sales reported about $195 to $230 a month
