JAN 2018 -Construction/ land clearing is moving forward on a 97-acre parcel called section 3 in Stonehouse. This is a proposed residential development consisting of 97 townhomes and 151 single-family units in the Stonehouse Planned Unit Development. Stonehouse was planned in 1999 as a community of about 4,400 homes to go along with more than 3.3 million square feet of commercial and office uses. Since then, 700 or so homes have been built at the site, off Route 30 near the New Kent County line. The Stonehouse development is divided them into 12 tracts and 4 neighborhoods. Neighborhood 1 will have traditional style single family custom homes similar to those found in the original neighborhood. Neighborhood 2 will have higher density homes (townhomes and something called “narrow single family” which must be similar to “zero lot line”). Neighborhood 3 will have lower density “estate” homes. Neighborhood 4 extends to the York River. There are some cliff areas that will be river view condos. There will also be single family homes, open space recreational space, and a marina.
