James City
James City County is one of Virginia’s oldest localities, dating back to 1634. While it shares deep historical ties with nearby Williamsburg, the county has developed its own identity as a thriving residential area with a strong community focus. Its historic roots remain visible, but life here is centered on the present—with excellent schools, growing neighborhoods, and access to everyday conveniences.
The county offers a wide range of housing options, from established communities to new developments with modern amenities. Residents enjoy outdoor activities along the James and Chickahominy Rivers, miles of walking and biking trails, and a variety of local parks and recreation centers. It’s also home to several golf courses, craft breweries, and shopping areas, offering plenty to do without leaving the county.
James City County is ideal for those looking for a quieter lifestyle with room to grow, while still being close to cultural attractions and regional job centers. It’s a place where history is part of the backdrop—not the whole story.
