Villas At Five Forks sits in a peaceful area close to Williamsburg, with tree-lined streets, walking trails, and scenic ponds, and you'll find folks taking walks or sitting on park benches in the afternoons since it's a lively and social place, but also quiet and calm when you want it to be. The community is age-restricted for adults 55 and over and has about 90 attached condo-style homes with floorplans like Abbey, Canterbury, Chateau, and Windsor, all single-level ranch homes or with first-floor master suites, ranging from 1,775 to 2,194 square feet and every home comes with a two-car garage, open kitchens, glassed-in verandas or patios, and some with cathedral ceilings or special features like solar tubes for extra light, walk-in closets, and gas fireplaces. There's central air, forced air heating (gas and electric), hardwood floors, upgraded kitchens, laundry rooms, plenty of storage, and accessibility features such as no-step entries and grab bars, plus a whole house generator for safety during bad weather, so you don't have to worry about power outages.
Meals get prepared for folks who want them, and the dining service covers special needs like food allergies, diabetes, or just wanting to eat any time of day at the restaurant-style dining room, and there's all-day dining too. Residents get help with cleaning, laundry or dry cleaning, move-in coordination, and concierge services, as well as transportation for neighborhood outings or medical appointments, which makes life a bit easier, and the maintenance crew takes care of lawns, driveways, and the outside of the homes. The subdivision is kept tidy and neat, and there's a sense of comfort in the streets and shared spaces, with no separate HOA dues since costs are included in the condo fee.
The Villas At Five Forks operates as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means you can live there independently or get extra care as you need it, with services like medication management, bathing and dressing help, transfers, and 24-hour supervision, along with a 24-hour call system and 12-16 hour nursing care on site. There's also respite care if caregivers need a break. Activities include movie and music nights, fitness classes, book clubs, art classes, poolside talks, barbecues, and resident-run programs, and you can use clubhouse amenities with a kitchen, billiards, an exercise room, a fireplace, and a big room for gatherings. Outdoors, the heated pool and patio give options for swimming and sunbathing in summer, and you're close to Williamsburg's historic attractions, golf clubs, spas, and shops, with the rivers and Chesapeake Bay not far off for boating or fishing. There are no pools in the homes themselves, but the clubhouse pool and fitness amenities are shared by all. Security and comfort tend to be strong points, as the homes are on one level, the halls are wide, and there are handicap-accessible features. The community generally stays open on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., but it's closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The calm park-like setting and regular community events give people a good chance to stay active, make connections, and enjoy retirement with less stress about chores and upkeep, and the value of the homes tends to stay pretty good, with assessment values and taxes all laid out plainly.
