"Foundation Square is the perfect solution! As an out-of-state William & Mary grad, I was looking for a second home in Williamsburg where I could retire when the time comes. Foundation Square offers elegant units with fine details, convenient single level living, and secure access, all overlooking beautiful Sullivan Square Park in the heart of dynamic New Town. The secure underground parking is a huge plus, especially since I rarely need my car with dining, shopping, entertainment, and professional services all easily walkable and Colonial Williamsburg only minutes away on the quaint trolley that stops in front of the building. The maintenance-free living makes it easy to come and go between homes, and I'm looking forward to the day when I can settle into my new home full time."

A mortgage is more often than not a required component when purchasing any kind of Virginia real estate, whether it’s a single family, a condo or otherwise.  Unless you’ve got pockets deep enough to pay for a property in full, you’ll need to get approved for a mortgage.  The process for getting pre-approved is really easy and can save you lots of time and give you an advantage.

The easiest step is the application.  If you’re looking to buy a condo in Foundation Square, you have multiple options: the Web (visit our Financing Page for a link to the secure and easy SunTrust Mortgage online mortgage application) , phone, or in person.  When you call Jolynn Musel at SunTrust Mortgage (757-253-9303) you’ll get a response within a day or even within a few hours.  However, your approval is determined by several important factors.

Things get a little tougher when it comes time to evaluate your finances.  Obviously your credit plays a major role in determining your eligibility so the higher the score the better off you are.  Because your credit says a lot about your financial responsibility, make sure not to have any late payments.  This also applies to any current loans you may have although in some cases it may be necessary to pay them off before receiving approval.

If you carry a lot of balances on several credit cards, these may also work against you as it means you have less credit available to you.  Essentially, having steady employment and being as debt free as possible will earn you big points in finally getting the okay to go out and buy Virginia real estate.

Whatever your situation, rest assured that Jolynn Musel, SunTrust Mortgage, will work with you to determine the best loan program available that is tailored to your needs. 

The new Williamsburg trolley is here and makes a continuous loop every 30 minutes between New Town and Merchants Square with couple other stops along the way. The trolley will run from 3-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 3-11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and noon-8 p.m. on Sundays. The service will be free through Sept. 20. After that, rides are 50 cents. Seniors can ride for a quarter, and Williamsburg students, including students at The College of William & Mary can ride for free. 

During your rides, the driver will point out historic sites, restaurants and must-visit attractions.  So, sit back and relax - you can forget about traffic and parking hassles when you take a trip on the Williamsburg Trolley.

Residents at Foundation Square are already buzzing about how much they are enjoying picking up the trolley right outside their front door and taking it into Merchant's Square for a stroll in the evenings. 

“I love living at Foundation Square.  My new home is beautiful and spacious and the underground parking is a real bonus.  The location couldn’t be better – everything I need is right outside the front door.  I can walk to restaurants, bookstores and the movie theater as well as enjoy the park across the street.  It’s a fantastic life style and I’m glad I made the decision to move here.”

“Now that my nest is empty, I can't think of a better place to live than in Foundation Square.  What I really love is that my garage has no garden apparatus -- no lawn mower, nor hose; no fertilizer nor spreader.  I just keep a little watering can on my kitchen counter to tend to the flowers on my balcony!  Oh, and there are no smelly garbage cans in the garage either.  All trash just goes down the chute!  I love the convenience of living in a beautiful environment without any of the headaches. “ 

"We have two homes, one in Foundation Square and the other in southwestern France.  We chose Foundation Square because we can lock our door and go, knowing our apartment and automobile will be safe and secure while we are away.  Convenience was also a key factor in our choice of Foundation Square.  We do not need to maintain two homes; we are close to 4 airports; shopping, professional services, entertainment, and virtually unlimited opportunities for outdoor recreation are within a few miles.  Foundation Square is proving to be a perfect base for our dynamic lifestyle."
