The setting

Landfall at Jamestown sits along Powhatan Creek, off Jamestown Road in James City County. The community started in 1998 as a Parade of Homes showcase, and most of the houses are custom built, each with its own floor plan.

Many homes have forest views over the creek, and some have a pier of their own. The creek runs out to the James River.

HOA and fees

The Landfall at Jamestown Community Association looks after the common areas and reviews changes to the outside of a home. Recent listings show dues of about $92 to $100 a month, and the resale certificate has the exact figure.

Schools

Public school assignments in James City County are set by address through Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools. Check the division’s attendance zone lookup for the exact address, and confirm with the division before you rely on it.

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.

  2. Read the design standards. Additions, fences, sheds and tree clearing go through the review board. The copy I found is from 2018, so ask for the current one.

  3. Ask where the protected areas fall on the lot. The standards protect a 100 foot Resource Protection Area along the creek, and clearing or building there needs written consent.

  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.
