An eclectic Williamsburg community with historic charm
The College of William & Mary is the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, a history reflected in the large historic homes, diverse cultural centers and active outdoor lifestyle of the surrounding William & Mary neighborhood. Situated among the campuses of Colonial Williamsburg and College of William & Mary, the community overflows with energy, and not just on game days. “It’s a very eclectic neighborhood,” says Colby Roberts, Associate Broker with Howard Hanna William E Wood. “We have sold homes to law professors, history buffs, college coaches and even retired military personnel who fell in love with the community while stationed nearby.”
Local, artisanal shopping and dining within walking distance
Residents in William & Mary enjoy immediate access to the boutiques, specialty stores, bookstores and restaurants of Merchant Square, an 18th-century style retail village dating back to the 1920s, featuring over 40 shops and restaurants between Colonial Williamsburg and the campus of William & Mary. Merchants Square is one of the first planned shopping districts in the country, and the buildings seamlessly blend into the local campus and colonial-era architecture. Breakfast is served at LOKAL Bread, a plant-based bakery with homemade ingredients and a generous vegan menu, and locals meet within the historic dining room at AromasWorld Coffeehouse Bakery & Cafe, a counter-serve restaurant with a pet-friendly patio overlooking the pedestrian streets of Merchant Square. Residents can drive north on Richmond Road to Earth Fare – a supermarket chain dedicated to organic and health-conscious foods – or continue into Monticello Marketplace, where they’ll find familiar retailers like Target and TJ Maxx.

Peaceful, tucked away homes south of Jamestown Road
William & Mary is almost entirely occupied by college campuses, historic buildings and an outdoor shopping district, save for a tiny residential subdivision south of Jamestown Road near the banks of the College Creek. The welcoming streetscapes offer one of the most desirable locations in Williamsburg, and the meager housing inventory is popular among long-tenured faculty at William & Mary. Quiet, secluded and deeply wooded, the residential community around Governor’s Road is dotted with classic brick colonials, large split-levels, traditional Dutch Colonials and three-bedroom brick transitional-style homes on half-acre lots, with prices ranging from $450,000 to $800,000. “Those homes in the Walnut Hills and Holly Hills neighborhoods are very desirable,” says Roberts.

Take a stroll across campus, or get out on the James River
With its wooded streetscapes, historic districts, college sports stadiums, campuses and outdoor shopping malls, William & Mary often feels like one giant park, particularly among the nature trails weaving throughout the woods surrounding Matoaka Lake. Residents stroll along the brick-lined paths of the Wildflower Refuge, where the moist, shady habitat shelters various ferns, wildflowers and berry trees – or along the garden and pedestrian paths intersecting throughout the campus and community. The Golden Horseshoe Golf Club borders the community to the south, while the nearby College Creek Beach provides sunset views from atop Sandstone Cliffs and boat access to the James River.
