Promenade at @5

Built by Franciscus Homes between 2017 and 2021, the Promenade at John Tyler—also known as Promenade @5—is one of Williamsburg’s most thoughtfully designed condominium communities. With 200 homes spread across 12 Ten-Plex buildings (10 condos per building) and 40 Duet buildings (two condos with a one-car garage), the neighborhood was planned around walkability, green space, and low-maintenance living.

Located in James City County with a Williamsburg mailing address, the community sits on approximately 24.5 acres between Williamsburg Crossing Shopping Center, Riverside medical facilities, Winston Terrace, and Route 199—with quick access to I-64.

Floor Plans & Home Styles

Nine distinct models were offered, including:

Allegro | Cadenza | Archway | Elder | Belair | Dearborn | Columbus | Farringdon

  • 1–4 bedroom options
  • ~1,000 to 2,300+ square feet
  • Ground-floor models
  • Second-floor models (some one level, some two levels)
  • Two-story homes
  • Unique Duet homes with rear-loading garages

The Duet concept is particularly appealing—garages are tucked behind the homes, allowing front doors to open onto landscaped greenspace, pocket parks, and winding walkways.

Why This Website Exists (And Why It’s So Detailed)

Meet Your Local Guide: Mr. Williamsburg

Pssst! I’m going to let you in on a little secret… While I am a real estate agent, I’m not your average one.

I created this website because buyers relocating to Williamsburg deserve more than just MLS photos and square footage. They deserve context.

I’ve been listing and selling homes from the North Carolina border to west of Richmond for over 20 years. I’m based in Williamsburg with Liz Moore & Associates, but I work throughout Hampton Roads and beyond. I’m also an investor, renovator, cyclist, short-term rental owner, and lifelong Virginian.

That matters.

When I evaluate a community like Promenade @5, I’m not just looking at price per square foot. I’m evaluating:

  • HOA structure and financial health
  • Build quality comparisons to other Franciscus communities
  • Long-term resale positioning
  • Rental restrictions
  • Lifestyle fit for out-of-area buyers
  • Market performance versus competing condo communities

I’ve helped clients buy lots, design custom homes, select builders, downsize from large properties, transition into low-maintenance living, and invest strategically in Williamsburg real estate.

This website exists because I believe being a local ambassador is more important than just being a transaction coordinator.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Promenade @5—or simply want honest insight—I’m happy to help.
