Golden Horseshoe is a conveniently located golf course community

Situated in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg, you can enjoy historic charm and spacious homes in gorgeous Golden Horseshoe. History buffs will be enthralled by the significant settlement sites in the area, nature lovers have endless parks and green spaces to explore, and golfers can play their hearts out at the sprawling Golden Horseshoe Golf Club. “People love Golden Horseshoe for the location,” says Mary McNulty, Realtor with Howard Hanna E. Wood Realtors. “It’s about a mile from downtown Colonial Williamsburg, so very convenient. Another plus is that it is actually within the city limits of Williamsburg, so the tax rate is lower compared to James City County. The neighborhood also has nice amenities like pools and tennis courts.”

Mature trees shade houses in Golden Horseshoe

Golden Horseshoe’s wide, curving streets are lined with paved sidewalks and mature trees. Here, spacious homes with classic architectural styles like colonials, Federals and Cape Cods, as well as newer transitional-style houses, are set back on tidy lots averaging a half-acre. These properties boast manicured lawns, elegant landscaping and long, paved driveways that lead to side entrance garages. In Golden Horseshoe, you can find three to four-bedroom brick transitional-style homes for between $550,000 to $750,000. A Federal or colonial estate with four bedrooms will cost upwards of $1 million. The area is also home to brick townhouse complexes, where a two-bedroom home costs around $300,000. “The market is still very good here,” McNulty says. “I listed a house recently that was priced really well because it was older and had the original roof. I listed it on Friday, and over the weekend, I had 23 showings and 3 offers.”

There’s a golf course here, and other green spaces are nearby

Golden Horseshoe is surrounded by natural beauty and well-maintained public parks. Immerse yourself in nature with a scenic walk on the paved paths or dirt trails of the wooded, 22-acre Redoubt Park, located on Quarterpath Road. Slightly further north on the same road, you’ll find Quarterpath Park, which spans 23 acres and features a playground, softball fields, tennis courts and picnic shelters.
