Suburban living on the historic Virginia Peninsula in Kingsmill
When the very first English colonists reached North America in 1607, they established the Jamestown settlement on the inland coast of what is now the Virginia Peninsula, a location strategically chosen for its deep shoreline, rich soil and protective natural borders. Over 400 years later, the area is still one of the most desirable locations on the Mid-Atlantic coast, offering award-winning schools, historical parks and attractions, large properties and convenient commuter access to nearby cities on Interstate 64. “Williamsburg addresses are some of the most desirable in the region,” says Colby Roberts, a second-generation associate broker with Howard Hanna William E Wood, adding that with new construction in Kingsmill, the area combines "the best elements of old and new Virginia.”
Diverse homes with historic charm in Williamsburg
The homes in Kingsmill fall within two distinct areas, and prices start at $400,000, with many houses reaching seven figures. One section, Kingspoint, is a long-established subdivision situated within a deep canopy of mature pinewood forests on the banks of College Creek, where homebuyers can find updated colonial, ranch and split-level homes on large secluded lots. Most of the properties in Kingspoint feature private outdoor living spaces overlooking the creek. The rest of the homes here are located within Kingsmill on the James, an HOA gated community that shares the property with the Kingsmill Resort. It's divided into 14 distinct subdivisions, each offering a unique architectural type and price point, with additional up-front and monthly HOA fees. “Most gated communities tend to look the same,” Roberts says. “But because the area is so old, the developers had to build the communities around the existing 300-year-old infrastructure.” The neighborhood’s colonial, Dutch Colonial and Craftsman-style homes reflect this historic sensibility.
