Historic vibes, vibrant community
Home of the first permanent English settlement in North America, Jamestown is a community steeped in history. With its history dating back to 1607 and its legacy as the first Virginia colony, Jamestown integrates its history into its identity today — a thriving community that also offers natural beauty, stunning architecture, and a slower pace of life. “Jamestown really has the trifecta,” says Kelly DeLucia, real estate agent with KW Allegiance and longtime resident of the area. “You have the history, the architecture, and it’s really an outdoorsy haven, with an active community.” For those seeking to call a piece of American history home, Jamestown offers that and much more.
Established builds reflect Jamestown's past
Homes in Jamestown are clear reminders of its history, with established homes found throughout the tree-lined streets. New traditional homes are common, along with brick ranch styles, colonial revivals, and even some true Colonials. Privacy and seclusion are benefits of the large, lush lots. Prices are higher than some nearby neighborhoods, though the history and style of the area offers a unique selling point. “A lot of people who move here have been coming to visit the area their entire lives,” says Charlotte Turner, Realtor with Liz Moore & Associates. “So, there’s an extra connection that a lot of people feel.” Prices range from $250,000 to $650,000 in general—though some townhouses can start at lower prices and some larger estates and homes on the waterfront can go for as high as $1 million.
Enjoy the waterfront or any number of pocket parks
Jamestown is situated in a heavily wooded enclave, with winding roads and hilly terrain. Many of the individual neighborhoods feature their own pocket park, and the area is highly walkable. “That area is very popular for a variety of outdoor activities,” says DeLucia. “Birdwatching is big, along with gardening and landscaping—really, there’s just a very outdoorsy vibe.” Many of the pocket parks feature immersive playgrounds, and those looking for a bit of history with their outdoors can head to Jamestown Settlement—home of the original English colony. Beyond its historical importance, Jamestown offers many recreational activities to suit every interest. Biking enthusiasts can traverse the scenic Capitol Trail, a 51.7-mile multi-use path leading from Jamestown to Richmond, passing by over 45 captivating attractions. Other trails include The Powhatan Creek Trail and The Greensprings Interpretive Trail.
Spoke & Art offers bike repairs, coffee, and more
Much of what makes Jamestown so appealing is how true to its roots it still manages to feel—it isn’t overdeveloped or filled to the brim with commercial properties. “It’s off the beaten path when it comes to commerce,” says DeLucia. “But there are a lot of unique spots to check out.” Spoke & Art, a particularly unique establishment, serves as a one-stop-shop for bike repairs, coffee and live music. Frothy Moon Brewhouse offers craft beers, coffee and sandwiches that visitors can enjoy while engaging in a friendly round of miniature golf. And even with its more secluded nature, residents are still just minutes from Monticello Marketplace — which features popular stores such as Target, T.J. Maxx, and Publix.
Historic Jamestown is the site for year-round events
The community hosts various events throughout the year, including a Memorial Day picnic, frequent farmers markets and an Octoberfest picnic. Residents can immerse themselves in the past at the Jamestown Historic Ship Museum, where they can explore the Susan Constant —a historic ship that carried the first settlers from England. Historic Jamestown offers the chance to step back in time and relive the experiences of the early settlers.
Jamestown schools prepare students for a future of their choosing
Students attend Clara Byrd Baker Elementary, which earned a B rating from Niche. Afterward, they move on to A-minus rated Berkely Middle and finish at A-rated Jamestown High. Both Berkely Middle and Jamestown High offer the Program of Studies, a unique curriculum that empowers students to explore their future career paths and selected classes tailored to their desired fields.
Downtown Williamsburg is just minutes away
With the area packed with as much history and unique architecture, many are willing to commute long distances for the ability to live in such a significant setting. “As far as commuting goes, obviously you have many who commute to William and Mary in Williamsburg,” says DeLucia. “But you have some people willing to commute as far as to Richmond — that’s how special the appeal of Jamestown is.”
