Whether you’re walking to the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning, heading out for a round of golf, or just enjoying a quiet evening under the oaks, Williamsburg has a neighborhood that fits the vibe. Some are steeped in tradition, with stately homes and long-time residents. Others are newer, with modern touches and close-knit communities. Each one offers its own rhythm, its own sense of place.
