Southeast Williamsburg
Diverse homes with historic charm in Williamsburg
The homes in Southeast Williamsburg fall within two distinct areas. The first is Kingspoint, a long-established subdivision situated within the 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, with prices ranging from $450,000 to $650,000. The rest of the homes in Southeast Williamsburg are located within Kingsmill on the James, an HOA gated community that shares the property with the Kingsmill Resort. The community is divided into 14 distinct subdivisions, each offering a unique architectural type and price point. “Most gated communities tend to look the same,” says Roberts. “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, and buyers can expect to spend between $400,000 and $650,000 for existing homes, with additional up-front and monthly HOA fees.

Fun for the whole family in James City County
Southeast Williamsburg is home to Busch Gardens, a German-themed amusement park with rides, roller coasters, European restaurants, Clydesdale stables and holiday-themed festivals around Halloween and Christmas. For something a little less crowded, residents can swim or fish at College Creek Beach, or try to avoid the sand altogether at Woods Golf Course, one of the three golf courses located within Kingsmill Resort. Veterans Park is one of Williamsburg's most popular public parks, featuring a dog park, pickleball complex and Kidsburg, a 30,000-square-foot lighted playground with designated areas for children of all ages.

Shopping and dining along Pocahontas Trail
Grocery shopping is accessible at the nearby Harris Teeter, a supermarket chain with an in-store Starbucks and sushi bar. Residents enjoy convenient access to several small retailers, gas stations and chain restaurants in the retail center near the intersection of Pocahontas Trail and Humelsine Parkway, and The Marquis shopping mall is home to familiar retailers like Target, Kohl’s and Best Buy. For dinner, residents can choose from several delicious options, including The Whaling Company — a steak and seafood restaurant with a dining room modeled after an old-school New England boathouse – and Maurizio’s Italian, where the Sicilian-born owner works with his cooks to create family-style pasta dishes for dine-in and carry-out.

Conveniently located nearby I-64
Occupying a long stretch of land along the eastern banks of the James River near the Chesapeake Bay, Southeast Williamsburg is a car-dependent neighborhood located near Interstate 64 at the narrow entrance to the Newport News peninsula between the York and James Rivers. Residents can quickly hop on Interstate 64 to make the 54-mile commute into Richmond — home of the nearest international airport — and the nearby Williamsburg Transportation Center offers Amtrak rail service into Richmond, Washington, DC and beyond.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
