Single family homes, past 12 months to November 14, 2026. The Recent sales row explains how these were counted.

The setting

Settlers Mill sits between Jamestown Road and Ironbound Road in James City County, a few miles from Jamestown. County records show about 190 single family homes, built from 1989 to 2016. The county recorded its sections between 1987 and 1999.

The association says the community was designed with tree lined streets and spaces for gathering. The pool, courts and clubhouse sit inside it.

The county lists 200 parcels in Settlers Mill, all classed as single family. About 190 have a home on record, with a median finished size of about 2,930 square feet. The middle half run from about 2,660 to 3,350.


Four bedrooms is the most common count, then five, then three. Most homes have two stories. Half were built by 1997, and 51 went up in 2000 or later. Lots usually run between a third and a half acre.

  • Pool. A community pool.

  • Tennis and pickleball. A court for both games.

  • Clubhouse. A renovated clubhouse with a pavilion.

HOA and fees

Settlers Mill has a homeowners association run by a five person board that the members elect, and Town Management is the manager. The association’s site lists 2026 dues of $262.50 a quarter, about $87.50 a month. Sale listings over the past year reported $87 to $100 a month. 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. Nine single family homes sold. The median price was $630,000, and the middle half sold between $599,500 and $680,000. Prices ran from $538,000 to $735,000.


The median price per square foot was $227. The homes took a median of 54 days to sell, counting from the list date to the closing date, and the range ran from 24 to 208 days.

Source: James City County recorded sales with a price, and closed listings in the Liz Moore Home Search feed (REIN and WBVA). Eight sales appear in both. One appears only in county records, so days to sell cover eight homes. Nine sales is a small sample, so one sale can move a median. This is not an appraisal.

Questions buyers ask

What does the Settlers Mill association offer?

The association’s site lists a pool, a tennis and pickleball court, a basketball court, a playground and a renovated clubhouse with a pavilion. A five person board elected by the members runs it. Its rules and documents sit behind a member login, so ask for them.


How old are the homes in Settlers Mill?

County records show homes built from 1989 to 2016, and half were built by 1997. About 140 were built by 1999 and 51 in 2000 or later.


Can I get a list of recent Settlers Mill sales?

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

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. Ask where easements fall on the lot. An older recorded plat for Section 2B shows a conservation easement where structures, clearing and soil disturbance are prohibited. 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. 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.
