A Look at Williamsburg's Neighborhoods and Communities

Updated: Sep 27
One of the first questions I hear from buyers is simple... where should I look? Greater Williamsburg has a wide range of communities, each with its own character, setting, and style of home. Here is a high-level look at a few that come up often. Details like amenities and fees change, so treat this as a starting point and verify specifics for any community you consider.
Kingsmill on the James
Kingsmill is a gated riverfront community along the James, known for its golf, resort amenities, and a mix of home styles from condominiums to larger single-family homes. Its setting and recreation options make it one of the most recognized addresses in the area.
Ford's Colony
Ford's Colony is a large gated community built around golf and green space, with a range of home sizes and price points spread across a wooded landscape. Its scale means there is a lot of variety within a single community.
New Town
New Town is a mixed-use town center where homes sit alongside shops, restaurants, and offices. If you like the idea of having dinner, a movie, or everyday errands close at hand, this community-oriented design is worth a look.
Governor's Land
Governor's Land at Two Rivers is a gated community near the meeting of the James and Chickahominy rivers, with golf, a marina, and a natural, wooded setting. It leans toward a quiet, established feel.
These are just a few of the options, and the right fit depends on what you want out of daily life and your budget. Tell me what matters most to you and I will map out the communities worth touring.
