Homes on record

Single family homes, past 12 months to November 14, 2026. Four sales is too few for a median, so the strip shows the range. The Recent sales row explains how these were counted.

The setting

Fieldcrest sits at Greensprings Road and John Tyler Highway (Route 5) in James City County, a few miles from Jamestown. County records show 84 single family parcels, 79 with a home on record, built from 1986 to 2023. The county recorded its five sections between 1986 and 1997.

Six streets serve it: Fieldcrest Court, Deerfield Court, Robins Way, Mallard Cove, Quail Hollow and Neal Court. The recorded plats set aside a recreation area and a lake and open area inside the community.

The homes

The county lists 84 single family parcels in Fieldcrest, plus one classed as exempt local government. Of the 84, 79 have a home on record, with a median finished size of about 3,150 square feet. The middle half run from about 2,700 to 3,470.


Four bedrooms is the most common count, then three, then five. Most homes have two stories, and ten are listed with three. Lots usually run from 0.4 to 0.6 acre, and seven are an acre or more.

On the grounds

  • Recreation area. The Section 4 plat sets aside about 2.7 acres.

  • Lake and open area. The same plat marks about 3.4 acres.

  • Pool. A 2019 local guide and a 2020 listing describe a community pool.

  • Tennis. A 2026 listing in my search feed lists tennis courts.

  • Basketball. The 2019 guide and the 2020 listing mention a basketball court.

From recorded plats and listings, not from the association. I could not find its website, so ask for the amenity list and the rules.

HOA and fees

Fieldcrest has a homeowners association. I could not find an association website, so I can’t say who sits on its board or who manages it. The four sale listings reported dues of $67 to $88 a month. A 2020 listing said dues cover common area upkeep, utilities, the pool and recreation facilities. The resale certificate has the exact figure for a home.

Recent sales

These figures cover homes that closed from November 14, 2025 to November 14, 2026. Four single family homes sold, at prices from $525,000 to $848,000. That is too few for a median or a middle half, so I’m not showing either. The most recent sale closed on July 1, 2026.


Three of the four have a list date in the feed, and they took 49 to 78 days from list date to closing. The fourth shows a list date after its closing date, so I left it out of that count.

Questions buyers ask

What do the recorded plats show in Fieldcrest?

The county’s plats cover five sections recorded from 1986 to 1997. Section 4 sets aside a recreation area of about 2.7 acres and a lake and open area of about 3.4 acres. The plats mark scenic easements along Greensprings Road and John Tyler Highway, and the later ones say each lot is to be served by public water and sewer from the James City Service Authority.


How old are the homes in Fieldcrest?

County records show homes built from 1986 to 2023. Most went up in the 1990s, 53 of the 79 on record, and 22 in the 1980s. Four were built in 2000 or later.


Can I get a list of recent Fieldcrest sales?

Yes. I can send the closed sales in Fieldcrest with prices, sizes and days to sell, along with the homes for sale now. Call, text or email me and mention Fieldcrest.

Before you buy

  1. Ask for the resale certificate. Virginia law has the seller get it from the association. It holds the governing documents, dues and fees, and you can cancel within the contract’s window, or three days if it sets none. I could not find Fieldcrest’s documents online, so this is where they come from.

  2. Ask where easements fall on the lot. The plats mark scenic easements along Greensprings Road and John Tyler Highway, where existing trees stay and structures are limited. They also show drainage and sewer easements on some lots. Ask for the survey and the recorded documents for the lot.

  3. Ask about the age of the big systems. Most homes here went up in the 1990s or earlier. Ask when the roof, the heating and cooling, and the water heater were last replaced, and have an inspector look at each one.

  4. Check the flood zone. Look up the address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and ask an insurance agent for a quote early.
