Why I Love Kingsmill – And Why You Might Too
If you're dreaming of a home that offers more than just four walls and a roof—something that feels like a retreat, a lifestyle, and a community—then let me introduce you to Kingsmill, one of Williamsburg’s most exceptional neighborhoods.
As a local real estate agent and longtime resident of the Peninsula, I’ve worked with many buyers and sellers in Kingsmill. And I can confidently say: there’s no place quite like it.
🌳 Welcome to Kingsmill
Nestled along the scenic banks of the James River, just a few miles from Colonial Williamsburg and William & Mary, Kingsmill on the James is a gated, resort-style community. It’s built on 2,900 acres of rolling hills and lush woods, with miles of walking trails, beautiful water views, and a private marina—all within the gates.
Kingsmill offers the peace of a nature preserve with the perks of a luxury resort. It’s the kind of place where every day feels like vacation.
🏡 Homes with Style and Substance
Kingsmill offers something for every lifestyle and stage of life:
Stately Colonials and riverfront estates
Custom homes on wooded lots
Charming townhomes in walkable enclaves like Littletown Quarter
Low-maintenance villas and condominiums
No matter the style, every home benefits from mature landscaping, underground utilities, and access to top-tier community amenities. With over 20 distinct neighborhoods and a wide variety of architectural styles, Kingsmill is anything but cookie-cutter.
⛳ A Golfer’s Paradise
As someone who loves golf, I can’t say enough about Kingsmill’s three championship courses:
River Course – Designed by Pete Dye, this PGA/LPGA tour-level course hugs the river and delivers stunning views and serious challenges.
Plantation Course – Arnold Palmer’s more forgiving layout, with water on eight holes and a touch of history throughout.
Woods Course – A serene, forested layout designed by Tom Clark and U.S. Open champ, and Virginia Native, Curtis Strange.
🚤 Life on the Water
The Kingsmill Marina is one of the community’s crown jewels. Residents can dock their boats, rent kayaks or jet skis, and enjoy easy access to the James River. There’s even a fishing pier and a cozy café to grab a drink after your time on the water.
Sunset from the marina? Always a showstopper.
💪 Fitness, Relaxation & Fun
Kingsmill has something for everyone:
15 tennis courts
Racquetball and pickleball courts
Indoor and outdoor pools
Full fitness center with group classes
A luxury spa and salon
Six on-site restaurants ranging from fine dining to casual bites
There are also playgrounds, parks, and miles of wooded trails that connect every corner of the community.
