I've lived in Williamsburg for most of my life and I really love it. I'm planning on attending W&M, which has already begun to provide a new perspective on Williamsburg and the area around it. It's stunning, especially in the spring and fall, has great historical attractions, a good overall town environment, and is pretty safe if you ask me! The only issues I have with Williamsburg is it isn't very walk-able, things can be pretty far apart, and if you aren't part of the college, there isn't much to do in the way of evening/weekend activities. You'd have to head to Richmond or towards Hampton to find any clubs or music. Other than that, I love Williamsburg and I think its a great place to live for people of any age.
Williamsburg is a wonderful place! It is generally safe, and people tend to be very kind. During the summer, and really all the time, it is very touristy, so the few fun activities are overrun by long lines and crying children, but it is a great place to live, and having guests is easy because you are so close to so many places: Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Busch Gardens/Water Country! The downtown area can get old after a while, but I have been seeing some new places that look really interesting! I have lived here for 13 years, and the people and lifestyle have not bored me yet!
Williamsburg is a suburban community surrounding Colonial Williamsburg. There are tons of opportunities for history due to its location near Jamestown, America's first settlement, and Yorktown, the site of the end of the Revolutionary War. It is also near Ft. Eustis, which is why plenty of military family's live in the area. It is a safe and open environment with lots of recreation spaces and activities, including events on the James River. The schools in Williamsburg James-City County are consistently placed in the top schools in America listings. The climate and temperature here is hot during the summer and cold in the winter, with very little snow. Williamsburg does have a high percent of elderly folk, which is reflected in the neighborhoods and homes nearby.
