About New Town
New Town is a planned community in James City County, just off Monticello Avenue and not far from Interstate 64. Instead of a traditional subdivision, it puts homes, shops, restaurants and offices in one connected district, with a central green that hosts events through the year.
The town center has restaurants, boutiques and national shops, a movie theater, offices and services, and a farmers market runs in season. The residential sections include townhomes, condominiums and single-family houses, and Colonial Williamsburg is a short drive away.
The homes
Most homes in New Town are townhomes and condominiums. Of the 53 homes that closed in the past year, 44 were townhomes or condominiums and 9 were single-family houses.
The townhomes and condominiums had a median size of about 1,740 square feet and a median build year of 2011, and the newest were built in 2026. The houses were larger, at about 2,570 square feet, and every one of them was built in 2013 or later.
