Quiet streets and proximity to Colonial Williamsburg in Walnut Hills
Enjoy quiet living in wooded Walnut Hills. Situated just south of Colonial Williamsburg and bordered to the east by College Creek, the gorgeous Walnut Hills neighborhood offers residents beautiful homes and convenience in a top-rated school district. “People are drawn to Walnut Hills for the location,” says Mary McNulty, Realtor with Howard Hanna William E. Wood Realtors. “Depending on how much of a walker you are, you could certainly walk to Colonial Williamsburg.”
Mature trees and charming colonial architecture
The curving streets of Walnut Hills are lined with mature trees. “There are many different housing styles and sizes,” McNulty says. “You could have a little bungalow, or you could have a 5,000 or 6,000-square-foot house. A lot of these homes are going to be older — built in the 30s, 40s and 50s.” These houses are typically set back on wooded lots that range from a quarter-acre to an acre. Most homes have long driveways that parallel the spacious, leafy front lawns. The abundance of trees and neat landscaping provide a great sense of privacy and seclusion to these properties. In Walnut Hills, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom brick transitional-style home on a half-acre lot costs around $450,000 while a four-bedroom, four-bathroom colonial on an acre of land costs around $800,000. According to McNulty, the housing market is still very good in this area. “If the house is good, it sells,” she says.
Highly rated schools with state championship titles
Students attend Matthew Whaley Elementary School, Berkeley Middle School and Lafayette High School, which all belong to the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools district. Lafayette High, along with the entire school district, receives an overall grade of A- from Niche with notably high ratings in the categories of academics, teachers, college prep and sports. The Lafayette Rams have won several state championships in football and cheerleading within the past few years. Right in the heart of Walnut Hills, you’ll also find Walsingham Academy, an independent Catholic school that was founded in 1947 and serves students in pre-K through 12th grade.
Wooded and waterside recreation
Enjoy some fresh air within walking distance at Geddy Park. This small, woodsy neighborhood park, complete with picnic tables and benches, is the perfect spot to enjoy lunch al fresco. If you want a peaceful afternoon by the water, head to College Landing Park, perched on the edge of College Creek. This quiet park is the perfect place to fish, kayak, paddleboard or birdwatch.
Long standing eateries and shopping at Monticello Marketplace
Pick up groceries nearby at Food Lion on John Tyler Highway. For all your shopping needs, take Humelsline Parkway for 2 miles to land in Monticello Marketplace, where you’ll find familiar retailers like Target and TJ Maxx. When hunger strikes, head to Old Chickahominy House on Jamestown Road for down-home southern cooking in a historic Cape Cod house. This quaint eatery has been a Williamsburg staple since 1955 and serves dishes like country ham biscuits and chicken and dumplings. Save some room for a slice of homemade buttermilk pie for dessert, and you’re sure to leave with a full stomach.
Bus stops on Jamestown Road and access to I-64
Most Walnut Hills residents travel by car, but with city bus stops located right in the neighborhood on Jamestown Road, public transportation is a very accessible option. When you want to get across town or to the nearby cities of Richmond and Newport News, Interstate 64 is just minutes away.
GreatSchools:
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.
