Williamsburg, Virginia

Sitting on the James River in southeastern Virginia, Williamsburg (founded in 1632) along with nearby Yorktown and Jamestown (the first permanent English settlement in the Americas) form the “Historic Triangle.” Williamsburg is famous for its historic architecture, and residents and visitors alike can immerse themselves in colonial history while also enjoying modern conveniences. The town is home to The College of William & Mary—the second-oldest institution of higher education in the country—and residents can enjoy intellectual, civic, and cultural events organized by the college throughout the year. Music festivals, farmers’ markets, pub crawls, craft shows, 5Ks, and holiday events are also on offer in Williamsburg, with an abundant variety of restaurants, shops, and museums. There are many opportunities for outdoor recreation in the area as well—hiking, camping, boating, golfing, and visiting nearby Busch Gardens or Water Country USA.  Williamsburg is a great place to live, whether you are just beginning to raise a family, or are winding down your career. You will find fun, friends, and beauty in this vibrant community.
