Williamsburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. At least as far as I’m concerned. I love all of the history. Williamsburg is clean and well cared for. It has the small Town feel with so much to offer. Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown settlement, and Yorktown or just a few wonderful places to visit. You never see dogs running around unattended or large amounts of debris or trash left on the road. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. Williamsburg has a huge retirement community I have learned so much living here. Colonial Williamsburg it’s one of my favorite places. If you come to Williamsburg I would highly recommend the Cheese shop. They have the best sandwiches. Moving from Springfield Missouri to Williamsburg Virginia was one of the best decisions my mother ever made. I love it here. Probably one of the reasons I am pursuing it the college of William and Mary it is a beautiful campus and of course close to home. I love Williamsburg!
Williamsburg Virginia is such an amazing area! There are many things to do from spending a day in old colonial Williamsburg, going to one of our many breakfast locations, looking at old battle grounds, learning about Jamestown, to going to Bush Gardens amusement park. You can check out the beautiful college of William and Mary which is the second oldest college in the United States. Schools around the area are quite nice, however, house are rezoned ever so often so you may end up at a different school depending on where you live. The atmosphere is very friendly and everyone is so welcoming! I highly recommend Williamsburg if you are interested in moving there. It’s very close to Richmond if you want to go into a city and if you want to go to a beach Yorktown beach is 20 minutes away or the famous Virginia Beach which is around 1 hour. Lastly, if you have a high school student looking for colleges, VA has an amazing wide variety to choose from!
Williamsburg is a wonderful place to live! The people are very friendly, the atmosphere is very relaxing, and the golf is terrific. There is a small town feel and yet one never feels like there’s anything missing from life in a bigger town.
Traffic to Virginia Beach does get heavy, but since I moved here from the Beach, I haven’t had a huge desire to drive down there, anyway. I highly recommend this town!
