Of all of these only Prudential and Realtor.com are in front of my website http://www.mrwilliamsburg.com/.

A lot of home buyers who aren't from the Hampton Roads/ Todewater Virginia area ask me what is an APZ ? It is shown on every home listing in this area that is for sale or rent. APZ is the acronym for Accident Potential Zone. Because we have some many flight paths from military and commercial aircraft this has to be defines in every home listing. The potential for an aircraft accident is higher in APZ-1 than in APZ-2, and both have lower potential than the clear zone.

In general, to be compatible with noise zones and APZs around a military airfield, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) recommends that noise-sensitive uses (e.g., houses, churches, amphitheaters, etc.) be placed outside the highest noise zone; that people-intensive uses (e.g., regional shopping malls, theaters, etc.) not be placed in APZ-1 areas; and that sound-attenuating methods be incorporated into building design and construction. In general, the only uses deemed compatible in an APZ-1 area are wholesale and manufacturing (with conditions), agriculture and public rights-of-way.

In other words if a home is located in an APZ-1 zone you will have a hard time hearing each other at outdoor barbecues in the backyard of your new home !!

James City County supervisors have approved plans for the vast and revamped mixed-use development . Developers will be allowed to build 3,646 homes in northern James City by the New Kent County border. Exit 227 on Interstate 64.

Stonehouse, which currently includes about 700 homes may one day house more people than the entire city of Williamsburg.

This new proposal did not increase the number of homes from the 1999 plan that included a 4,411-residential unit cap. But Stonehouse Green Land have added major community benefits from parks and recreational facilities to transportation improvements in order to get it approved by the citizens and the board.

Support for the revised plan was unanimous both from residents and the board of supervisors.

Stonehouse Green Land has pledged to offer at least 125 homes for an average price at or below $250,000 and to give the county $1,000 per unit to pay for affordable housing elsewhere. Road improvements include new turn-lanes at the intersection of Route 60 and Croaker Road.

Along with the residential portion, Stonehouse will contain 1.25 million square feet of office space, 450,000 square feet of retail space including a sorely needed supermarket .

The developer will also give the county 10 acres for a public use site, such as a fire station or a library. Their are 15 parks proposed within the development, public RV storage site and a marina on the York River. It is expected that it will take 12 years to complete the remainder of Stonehouse.

The developers are giving almost 180 acres to the county for future use as school sites.
