Centerville homes amidst friendly, gated communities
Nearly all of Centerville’s housing market is located within the gates of a large HOA community like Ford’s Colony, Windsor Forest and Seasons Trace. These communities share a similar mission and model, providing gated streets, fun community events and exclusive access to the HOA’s amenities — pools, tennis courts, pedestrian trails and recreation centers — with optional membership in a country club. The quiet streets meander around landscaped ponds, wetlands and woods, with several architectural styles, including condominiums, townhouses and single-family homes. Centerville’s housing market typically consists of over 100 homes ranging from $400,000 to $700,000, roughly $100,000 more than other neighborhoods around Williamsburg.

Heading outdoors near the Chickahominy River
Centerville residents are surrounded by award-winning parks, golf courses, sports complexes and the clear waters of the Chickahominy River, providing plenty of opportunities for them to enjoy the great outdoors. Veterans Park features a dog park and a massive playground dubbed "Kidsburg," a 30,000-square-foot lighted complex with specific areas designated for children of all ages. Freedom Park has 600 acres of entertainment for all ages, including Revolutionary War battlefields, the Williamsburg Botanical Gardens and a treetop adventure ropes course. Locals can join a sports league or sign up for fitness classes at Warhill Sports Complex, launch their boats into the river from the Chickahominy Riverfront Park, or tee it up on the public 18-hole golf course at Kiskiack Golf Club. On rainy days, residents sink into the plush recliners for a movie at the Regal New Town movie theater.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
