Peaceful, suburban living close to Williamsburg nature
Real estate developer Robert Hornsby had a specific vision in mind when he began construction on the 321-acre Windsor Forest community in 1971 in Centerville, Virginia, strategically designing the streets, houses and amenities to match the rural charm and rustic beauty of the surrounding Atlantic pine forest north of Williamsburg, leaving as many native trees in place as possible. Windsor Forest was one of the first planned communities in the area, but in the years since residents first moved into Windsor Forest, the nearby city of Williamsburg has undergone a considerable expansion, shortening the distance between Centerville and Williamsburg and inviting waves of new commercial and residential development. Despite this expansion, Windsor Forest and other Centerville communities have largely retained their rural roots, offering a quiet but active suburban lifestyle within minutes of Williamsburg's shops, restaurants and nightlife. “These gated communities are like cities unto themselves,” says Colby Roberts, a second-generation associate broker with Howard Hanna William E Wood. “But if someone works in one of the hospitals further down the peninsula or in an office in Richmond, they can easily hop on Interstate 64 to commute into work.”
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

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.
