Suburban military community along the York River
Brimming with colonial-era history, waterfront recreation and military influences, York Terrace is a multifaceted community on the banks of the York River that defies easy classification. York Terrace is home to Colonial National Historical Park, a National Historical Park at Jamestown that includes the Yorktown Battlefield and the American Revolution Museum. The neighborhood also boasts deep military ties, bracketed between Yorktown Naval Weapons Station and Camp Peary, a 9,000-acre CIA training facility known as “The Farm.” Somehow, York Terrace also has room for Water Country USA, the Mid-Atlantic’s largest waterpark, featuring 1950s-themed rides, attractions, shops and restaurants in the heart of York Terrace. “There’s so much going on in that area, and many of my clients are part of the larger military community,” says Mike Pattison, a Realtor and team leader of Envision VA Home with eXp Realty. “Many people stationed at one of the local bases end up buying and staying for life.”
Colonial Revivals and brick facade ramblers
York Terrace spreads east and west of Interstate 64, which cuts a vertical line down the middle of the community between Williamsburg and the York River. The highways, parks and military bases separate individual subdivisions from one another, creating three distinct residential pockets in York Terrace, each offering a unique sensibility and price point. West of Interstate 64, modest ranch, colonial and split-level homes line the open suburban streetscapes, where many of the large native trees were cleared to make space for manicured lawns and outdoor living space. Further north – bracketed between Queens Lake and New Quarter Park – most mature trees remain, and classic colonial and ranch-style homes are hidden within large wooded lots on dead-end streets. Lastly, a small pocket of new construction and townhouses has recently arrived near the Marquis Shopping District. With so many housing options in York Terrace, the market varies widely, though most homes are priced between $300,000 and $550,000.
Colonial-style homes are very common within the York Terrace community.

Hiking at New Quarter Park and American history at Jamestown
Residents in York Terrace enjoy immediate access to a wide range of historical, recreational and water parks, starting with Colonial National Historical Park and the adjoining National Parkway. Managed by the National Park Service, CNHP is home to both the Jamestown Settlement and Yorktown Battlefield – two of the most significant sites in American history – connected by a 23-mile scenic parkway along the wetlands of the York River. New Quarter Park spans 545 acres of woodlands, with hiking trails, picnic shelters, sports facilities, playgrounds and an 18-hole championship disc golf course. Not to be outdone, Water Country USA is the region’s largest waterpark, with rides, attractions, restaurants and entertainment for the whole family.
