Scotts Pond

Scotts Pond  A Williamsburg/ James City County Neighborhood Spotlight by Mr Williamsburg.com

Yes,  Scott’s Pond has a pond but its in the very back of the neighborhood so you might not see it. The homeowner association actually stocked it with carp in the past. .

Scott’s Pond is a 279 single-home community boasting large natural conservation areas within it’s surroundings. Walking through the nature trails that meander throughout the neighborhood, you might see heron, hawks and our resident eagle. Near the back of the community there is a lovely pond that is spring-fed and home to fish, turtles and beavers.

One of the wonderful things about our community is that on many days you are able to see neighbors walking, riding bikes, riding scoters or skateboarding.

The first homes were completed in Scotts Pond in 1998 . Construction continued until 2007. The neighborhood encompasses 142 acres. Home sizes range from 1700 to almost 3200 square feet. Two story homes are the predominant style although there are a few one story ranches scattered within. The builders in the first phase included Williamsburg Building Corp Pace Construction, Gilliam & Greenfield Homes. Construction of the second phase of Scotts Pond ( in the rear) started in 2003. Homes in phase two were built by Arcadia Construction and Patriot Builders.

Homeowner Comments

Living in Scott’s Pond has been ideal for our family, with a great high school close by for our daughters and the convenience of a grocery store a mile away. After our five years here, we know you will love Scott’s Pond just as much as our family.

Personally, I have loved the company of friendly neighbors on my daily evening walks. My husband and I have felt very welcomed by our fellow homeowners, enjoying their company during neighborhood get-together or in backyard cookouts.
