Nestled within this charming community are amazing outlet malls, beautiful botanical gardens, Williamsburg\u2019s famous historical district, and more. The Williamsburg area is close to the sparkling York River and lush forested areas, so you will never run out of great outdoor activities. Williamsburg has so much to offer and here are some of our favorite reasons why HHHunt Homes\u2019 homeowners love living in the area:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The History:<\/strong> Williamsburg was the capital of Virginia at the time of the American Revolution, and the area prides itself on keeping that history alive. Travel back in time to experience the earliest days of the United States by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.history.org\/\">Colonial Williamsburg<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/historicjamestowne.org\/\">Historic Jamestown<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitwilliamsburg.com\/topic\/yorktown\">Yorktown<\/a>. Experience 17<sup>th<\/sup>-century Virginia through films, exhibitions and outdoor living history. Pretend that you\u2019re living in the first permanent colony in the United States and even see replicas of the ships that sailed from England to Virginia in 1607! In addition, Williamsburg is also home to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wm.edu\/\">College of William and Mary<\/a>, the country\u2019s second-oldest public university!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Outdoor Activities:&nbsp;<\/strong>With more than 109 miles of bicycle paths throughout, it\u2019s no surprise that outdoor living and recreation is a large part of the Williamsburg culture. July is National Park Month, so it\u2019s only fitting to spend the day at some of the nearby parks, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwcgov.org\/government\/dept\/park\/vetspark\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Veterans Memorial Park<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.williamsburgva.gov\/government\/department-i-z\/parks-recreation\/parks-facilities\/kiwanis-municipal-park\">Kiwanis Park<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkcounty.gov\/1816\/New-Quarter-Park\">New Quarter Park<\/a>, and more. Take a trip to the local Farmers Market every weekend and pick fresh apples at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangepippin.com\/orchards\/united-states\/virginia\/bush-neck-farm\">Bush Neck Farm<\/a>. Spend the day on the water and take a kayak ride on Powhatan Creek!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Theme Parks:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spend the day riding the thrilling roller coasters, watching the entertaining shows, and even hanging out with some wild animals at <a href=\"https:\/\/buschgardens.com\/williamsburg\/\">Busch Gardens<\/a>! Busch Gardens is fun for the whole family and has won the most beautiful theme park award for more than 20 consecutive years. Just down the road is <a href=\"https:\/\/buschgardens.com\/williamsburg\/water-country-usa\/\">Water Country USA<\/a>, a 43-acre water park that\u2019s the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer day. In addition, on every weekend during the summer, Busch Gardens showcases a brilliant fireworks display at 9pm!<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Shopping:<\/strong> Williamsburg has some of the best shopping in Virginia.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.premiumoutlets.com\/outlet\/williamsburg\">Williamsburg Premium Outlets<\/a>&nbsp;is one of the most popular outlet malls in the country.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.merchantssquare.org\/\">Merchants Square<\/a>&nbsp;offers high-end restaurants and specialty shops.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newtownwilliamsburg.com\/business\/shopping-dining\">New Town<\/a>&nbsp;showcases unique and local boutique stores.
