Centuries of history beside the York River
About Yorktown
Yorktown may be a smaller town, but it is packed with centuries of history.
The community is situated in proximity to the larger cities of Richmond and Williamsburg, which offers residents the opportunity to explore the urban areas around or the quaint town they live in.
Why downsizers choose Yorktown
Yorktown and greater York County suit downsizers who want space and quiet without giving up convenience — newer single-level homes, riverfront walking paths, and a short drive to everything.
- Yorktown Beach, the Riverwalk, and weekly market days
- Newer single-level homes and low-maintenance neighborhoods
- Battlefield trails and the Colonial Parkway
- Short drives to Williamsburg, Newport News, and Hampton
