The next city in our City Stats Blog Series is the quaint area of
Williamsburg. Williamsburg is rich in history and the beauty of nature, not to
mention some awesome thrills at Busch Gardens! There are many different living
options available in Williamsburg for a wide array of people. Learn more about
this beautiful city here!
Williamsburg is one of the oldest cities in the United States. A visit to Colonial Williamsburg is always worth the trip to see places like the Governor’s Palace, the Palace Gardens, Everard House, McKenzie Apothecary, and the Wheelwright. Actors dress up in colonial garb and re-enact the lifestyles of 18th century Williamsburg.
Besides the historic part, there’s so much to see and do! Busch Gardens Williamsburg offers rides, shows, and entertainment for the whole family. A mile away is Water Country U.S.A., a water park with slides and rides for all ages. The Haunted Dinner Theatre offers spooks along with an endless seafood buffet. Multiple golf courses offer an escape for the boys!
The college-age population is significantly higher in Williamsburg than the rest of the state because the College of William and Mary is located in the heart of the city. Williamsburg is also home to three public high schools and over ten public middle and elementary schools.
Stats show that the most common occupations for men are postsecondary teachers and management occupations, while the most common occupations for women are retail and information clerks. Traffic is not a big issue and most people work close to home (compared to D.C. travel time!).
Homes in Williamsburg are right around the Virginia state average of home prices. Take a look at the chart below:
If you’re looking to move, Williamsburg has so much to offer and is a wonderful city to call home. We hope that all this information was helpful and informative! We will be back next week with our next City Stats Blog Series on Hampton!
