Why this home stands out
At 2,800 square feet, this 1986-built home gives you genuine room to spread out — three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and the kind of proportions that make a difference the moment you walk through the door. The lot sits within easy reach of Kingsmill's recreational corridor, so weekends have a built-in destination. For households with two commuters, the dual proximity to Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is hard to beat.
KINGSMILL and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg carries a weight that most cities can only aspire to — it's where American history was made, and that backdrop shapes everyday life in ways both subtle and obvious. The streets here feel purposeful, the tree canopy is generous, and the mix of long-time residents and newcomers gives the community real texture. The 23185 zip code sits on the western edge of the city, where established neighborhoods transition into the greener, quieter stretches that border the James River corridor. Homes for sale in Williamsburg attract buyers who want proximity to Colonial Williamsburg, the College of William & Mary, and a walkable downtown — without sacrificing the breathing room that a genuine residential neighborhood provides. Whether you're drawn by the history, the community feel, or the commute math, this corner of the city rewards the people who choose it.
What's nearby
Kingsmill Recreational Park is just 0.8 miles away, making an after-dinner walk or a weekend afternoon outside genuinely effortless. Right alongside it, Kingsmill Recreational Soccer Park offers open fields and organized play space — a real asset if anyone in your household chases a ball. Beyond those two anchors, the broader Williamsburg area puts grocery options, independent restaurants, and the Colonial Williamsburg historic district all within a short drive. Route 60 and Interstate 64 are accessible quickly, connecting you to Newport News, Richmond, and the wider Hampton Roads region without a painful commute.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary sits 12 minutes from the front door, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is only 14 minutes out — a combination that makes dual-military households' scheduling considerably easier. A VA loan can stretch further in this price range than in many Hampton Roads submarkets, and 2,800 square feet means you're not making compromises on space when PCS orders bring you to the area.
