The publicrecord.
The association, the resort, and the county budget notice — quoted, not estimated.
Kingsmill is a gated residential community in James City County. The association's name for it is Kingsmill on the James. Mail goes to Williamsburg, ZIP 23185, and Kingsmill Community Services Association publishes its office at 309 McLaws Circle, Suite D. It is not one of the four communities named on the James City page. Toano, Lanexa, Norge, and Lightfoot are different places. The housing inside these gates is its own market. Williamsburg is also an independent city, so a city search for Williamsburg is the wrong filter.
The association describes a 3,000-acre community along the James River. Kingsmill is not a census-designated place, so this page does not invent a population. The association and the resort share the ground and not the owner. Kingsmill Community Services Association is the homeowners association. Its resort page says the resort, including the three golf courses, the tennis center, the restaurants, and the resort pools, is owned by Escalante Golf. A membership is something a resident may buy. It is not described as a right that comes with the lot.
James City County's historic tax table lists $0.83 per $100 of assessed value from July 1, 2023, and that table does not yet show a later year. The county's notice for the FY2027 and FY2028 budget proposed $0.80 per $100 for each of those years. The Williamsburg Yorktown Daily reported on May 27, 2026 that the Board of Supervisors approved a budget with a three-cent reduction in the real estate tax rate and a two-cent real estate tax credit, effective July 1. A three-cent cut from the $0.83 on the historic table is the $0.80 in the notice. The credit is an additional item in that report. It is not published on the historic table, so this page does not turn it into a second rate.
What is for sale changes every week. The cards further down are the live subdivision feed, filed as Kingsmill inside James City County. The feed holds detached houses, attached homes, and condominiums, and the addresses in it use ZIP 23185. A search for the city of Williamsburg, or for the ZIP alone, pulls in the rest of a large postal area, including the independent city. Ask for the subdivision.

The acreage and the pond are the association's description. Kingsmill is not a census-designated place. The $0.80 figure is the rate in the county's FY2027–FY2028 budget notice. The historic table still ends at July 1, 2023, at $0.83. A May 27, 2026 report says the board approved a three-cent reduction and a two-cent credit, effective July 1. The credit is not a second published rate. The tax is reset with the budget. The tax rate is set annually; check the current year before budgeting.
Where it is37.2450° N 76.6625° W
The roads thatactually matter.
McLaws Circle is the association's address. Where the association says the drive is a matter of minutes, that phrase is left as theirs. This page does not turn it into a drive time.
McLaws Circle and Kingsmill Road
The association publishes 309 McLaws Circle, Suite D, Williamsburg, ZIP 23185. The Census Bureau's address locator places 309 on that circle. The resort publishes 1010 Kingsmill Road, the same ZIP.
Mounts Bay Road
The FAQ names a vehicle bridge on Mounts Bay Road among the roads the assessment maintains. James City County publishes its government center at 101 Mounts Bay Road, Williamsburg 23185. Sharing the road and the ZIP is not the same thing as sitting inside the gate.
The James
The resort describes the River Course as bordered by the James River, and the marina as access to a day on the river. The marina, the beach, and the resort pools belong to the resort. The association's water is the 28-acre pond.
What the association names nearby
Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, historic downtown Williamsburg, and William & Mary. The association says the community is just minutes from them. The afternoon depends on the traffic, not on this page.
Living here3 notes
The case forKingsmill.
What the association and the public record actually say. Where something is a trade-off, it says so.
The gate is the association's
Two staffed gates, and a private police force.
The home page says access is gated around the clock, with two gate houses and a deputized police department. The FAQ describes that force as approximately 30 police officers, public safety officers, and administrative staff, and lists the guarded entrances among what the assessment covers. Membership is automatic and mandatory. A board elected by the owners governs under the covenants, the bylaws, and the articles. The assessment is due on the first of the month. The FAQ says condo payments run late after the fifteenth and other payments after the thirtieth. The dollar amount is set from the budget for each phase, so it is not printed here.
The courses are a club
Three courses. None of them come with the lot.
The resort calls the River Course a Pete Dye design that has hosted PGA and LPGA events, the Plantation Course an Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design, and the Woods Course a Tom Clark layout designed with Curtis Strange. The Woods Course is for members and their guests. The club's membership page says you do not have to live at Kingsmill to join, and that a full golf membership is the one that includes all three courses. The association says residents may become members of the resort. It does not say a lot includes a tee time, a marina slip, or the beach.
How the MLS files it
The subdivision name is Kingsmill.
Scoped to James City County, that is the field the listings on this page use. A city search for Williamsburg mixes the independent city with other neighborhoods that share the post office. The same subdivision field holds detached houses, attached homes, and condominiums. This is not one building and not one section. What is actually for sale changes every week, and the cards further down are that feed.
SchoolsWilliamsburg-James City County Public Schools
Schools andthe division.
Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools covers James City County and the City of Williamsburg. A listing for 217 Padgetts Ordinary, filed in the Kingsmill subdivision, names James River Elementary, Berkeley Middle, and Jamestown High. Other current listings in the subdivision name the same three, and at least one names Lafayette High instead of Jamestown. The School Board adopted new attendance zones on October 20, 2026, for August 2027. Confirm the street with the division. A listing widget is not the assignment.
James River Elementary
8901 Pocahontas Trail, Williamsburg. Kindergarten through grade 5. The division's school-quality summary lists it Fully Accredited. The school profile shows fall membership of 449 in 2024–2025, the latest year that table publishes, and a 2024 status of Accredited. The address is not a zone.
Berkeley Middle
1118 Ironbound Road, Williamsburg. Grades 6 through 8. The division summary lists it Fully Accredited. The school profile shows fall membership of 666 in 2024–2025, and triennial accreditation for 2024 through 2026.
Jamestown High
3751 John Tyler Highway, Williamsburg. Grades 9 through 12. The school profile states Fully Accredited for the 2025–2026 school year and fall enrollment of 1,290 in 2025–2026. The Williamsburg street address is the school's. It is not the community's.
The new zones
The October 20, 2026 vote puts revised boundaries in place for the 2027–2028 school year. Lafayette High is the school one current Kingsmill listing names instead of Jamestown. Use the division's address lookup for the street, and use it again after August 2027.
Outdoors4 of them
Where theweekends go.
The pond, the paths, and the association pools are what the association describes. The golf, the marina, and the beach are what the resort describes. They are not a county park.
The pond
28 acres, described by the association for fishing and kayaking. Macaulay Mini-Park has a fishing dock and a footbridge. The FAQ says canoe and jon boat racks are available for a fee.
Paths, pools, and courts
The FAQ says several miles of paved walking and biking trails, including a pedestrian tunnel, four footbridges, and a trail to the James River shoreline, plus three recreation centers with pools and lifeguards, five tennis courts, two basketball courts, and one pickleball court. The home page also names three playgrounds. Neither page publishes a trail mileage, so this page does not invent one.
The courses
River, Plantation, and Woods, as the resort describes them. Woods is for members and their guests. A round is a question for the club, not a line on the resale certificate.
The gate
Two staffed gate houses. The association asks residents to register guests in its system, or by phone to dispatch if they have no computer. A tour is a question for the gate. This is not a public park entrance.

Asking prices on the cards are the live feed, and they move. This page does not publish a median, a price per square foot, or a forecast. Budget the charges separately: the county real estate tax, which the FY2027–FY2028 notice puts at $0.80 per $100 of assessed value, and the association assessment, which is not quoted here. The May 27, 2026 budget report also describes a two-cent credit on top of a three-cent cut. Golf, the marina, and the beach, if you want them, are a question for the resort.

Questions6 answered
What peopleask us.
The questions buyers type before they tour Kingsmill.
James City County. Mail goes to Williamsburg, ZIP 23185, and the association publishes 309 McLaws Circle. Williamsburg is also an independent city, with its own tax rate. The MLS files these houses as the subdivision Kingsmill inside James City County. A city search for Williamsburg is a different map.
No. The association and the resort are separate owners. The association says residents may join the resort. The resort says you do not have to live in Kingsmill to become a member, and that the Woods Course is for members and their guests. The marina and the beach are resort amenities. A tee time is not a right that comes with the lot.
The FAQ describes the assessment as the periodic amount due from each owner, set from a budget and divided by the lots or units in a phase. It is due on the first of the month. Condo payments run late after the fifteenth, and other payments after the thirtieth. It is separate from the county real estate tax. The dollar amount changes with the budget, so it is not printed here. Read the resale certificate.
Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools. A listing for 217 Padgetts Ordinary names James River Elementary, Berkeley Middle, and Jamestown High. At least one other Kingsmill listing names Lafayette High instead. The division summary lists James River, Berkeley, and Jamestown Fully Accredited. The School Board adopted new zones on October 20, 2026, for August 2027. Confirm the street with the division. A listing widget is not the assignment.
Search the subdivision name Kingsmill, limited to James City County. A city search for Williamsburg, or a search of ZIP 23185, includes houses outside the gates and can include the independent city. The listings on this page use that subdivision field.
The association's description does not call Kingsmill age-restricted. It describes playgrounds, kiddie pools, and lifeguards at the association pools. Whether a section has a covenant about age is in that section's documents. Confirm the lot. This page describes the place. It does not say who should live there.

What is your Kingsmill homeactually worth?
Mike Hogan founded the brokerage on knowing the county rather than the listing. Ask what that means for this street — or take a cash offer and skip the showings. Neither route commits you to the other.
