Wooded lots and access to the James River in West Williamsburg
A balance of peaceful properties and proximity to city amenities are what you find in West Williamsburg. A sprawling expanse situated west of Colonial Williamsburg, this historic area boasts top-rated schools, a wide array of home styles and quick access to the James River. “In West Williamsburg, you’ve got a bit of everything,” says Mary McNulty, Realtor with Howard Hanna William E. Wood Realtors. “You’ve got small subdivisions, you’ve got starter homes, you’ve got condos and townhomes. It’s too big of an area to generalize because there are lots of different opportunities available for people there.”
Tree-lined streets and a diverse housing market
The neighborhoods in West Williamsburg have winding, leafy roads that make for a pleasant and relaxed drive. On a cruise through this area, you’ll see a wide variety of architectural styles that include ranch homes, Cape Cods and transitional-style homes. These houses are often tucked back on woodsy lots ranging between a quarter to a half-acre with mature trees and tidy landscaping. In West Williamsburg, you can get a four-bedroom Cape Cod for around $350,000, a three-bedroom colonial for $450,000 or a four-bedroom transitional-style home for around $600,000. “In general, the market is very good here,” McNulty says. “The number of days it's on the market before it sells will depend largely on the price. The lower the price, the faster it goes. Williamsburg tends to be kind of expensive, especially for first-time homebuyers, so homes with lower price points sell very quickly.”
Highly rated public schools serving West Williamsburg
Kids in West Williamsburg attend Matoaka Elementary School, Lois Hornsby Middle School and Jamestown High School. These schools all belong to the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools district, which receives an overall grade of A- from Niche. Jamestown High School, home of the Eagles, earns an overall grade of B+ from Niche, with notably high grades in the categories of academics, teachers, and clubs and activities. In 2023, the Jamestown Eagles team won the state championship for the 5th time since 2015.
Outdoor recreation at Veterans Park and Chickahominy Riverfront Park
West Williamsburg has an abundance of parks and green spaces to enjoy. One of the area’s most popular parks is Veterans Park, located on Ironbound Road. This 19-acre landscaped park features walking paths, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts and picnic areas. Kids will love the park’s 30,000-square-foot lighted playground, Kidsburg, which has many climbing structures, swings, slides and two zip lines. Bring your pups to Kidsburg Dog Park, which has separate fenced-in areas for small and large dogs. When you want to immerse yourself in nature, head to Chickahominy Riverfront Park, perched on the edge of the James River. This quiet 140-acre park has wooded trails, riverfront access for kayaking and paddleboarding and campsites available for a night under the stars.
Country-style comfort food and shopping at Monticello Marketplace
When hungry, head to Old Chickahominy House on Jamestown Road for homestyle southern food. This quaint eatery is housed in a historic restored Cape Cod and has been a Williamsburg staple since 1955. Here, you can enjoy comforting dishes like chicken and dumplings and country ham biscuits. Satisfy your sweet tooth down the street at Carrot Tree Kitchens, a locally owned breakfast and brunch spot that sells freshly baked homemade pastries and pies. For groceries and shopping, head to Monticello Marketplace on Monticello Avenue, where you’ll find familiar stores like Publix, Target and TJ Maxx.
