About Kingsmill on the James
Kingsmill on the James sits on the north bank of the James River, between the water and Interstate 64, a short drive from Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. Busch Properties planned the community after Anheuser-Busch bought the land in 1969, and the original plan set aside about 40 percent of it as green space.
Today the community covers about 3,000 acres of woods, ravines, ponds and river frontage, with more than five miles of paved trails plus unpaved wooded paths. It shares its edge with Kingsmill Resort, which has separate owners and its own memberships. Owners get the association's amenities automatically and can add Resort membership if they want golf and the Resort's other facilities.
The homes
Kingsmill is made up of more than a dozen named neighborhoods, including Archer's Mead, Armistead Point, Burwell's Bluff, Burwell's Landing, Harrop's Glen, Littletown Quarter, Moody's Run, Quarterpath Trace, River Bluffs, River's Edge, Spencer's Grant, Wareham's Point and Winster Fax. Homes range from townhomes and condominiums to large single-family houses on golf course, water and wooded lots.
Of the 128 homes that closed in the past year, 76 were single-family houses and 52 were condominiums or townhomes. The houses had a median size of about 3,100 square feet and were built between 1977 and 2026, with a median build year of 1985. The condominiums and townhomes had a median size of about 2,230 square feet.

Kingsmill Resort membership
Kingsmill Resort is a separate business with its own owners and memberships. Its three golf courses, tennis center, restaurants, resort pools, marina, private beach, spa and fitness facilities are open through optional Resort membership. Membership is not required to own a home in Kingsmill, and the dues are separate from the association assessment.
HOA and fees
The Kingsmill Community Services Association (KCSA) is the homeowners association. It is owned by the homeowners and looks after the recreation centers, roadways and common areas. The board sets a budget each year and divides it among the lots or units in each phase, so the assessment depends on the neighborhood, and it is due on the first of the month.
For a resale, the association points buyers and sellers to an outside records service for the disclosure package, which shows the current assessment and the governing documents.
Single-family homes: most recent sales reported about $200 to $210 a month
Townhomes and condominiums: commonly about $440 to $640 a month, and what is included depends on the neighborhood
Kingsmill Resort membership: optional, and priced separately by the Resort
