College professor looking for hints on weather and best places to live in Yorktown or Williamsburg Area (Hampton: apartments)

[rbarre]

My family is relocating to Williamsburg - Yorktown area so I can teach in a local university there. We have two miniature schnauzers and I am not sure how apartment communities there respond to dogs. Can anyone share insights.

Also, have studied percipitation in the Hampton Roads, VA, area but not able to discern if you do get ice storms in addition to the small amount of snowfall you get.
Can someone please share insight on possible ice accumulation?

Thank you in advance for your helpfulness.

You might want to check out The Oxford Apartments in New Town It is a brand new Town home style aprtment complex. Located about two miles from the William & Mary Campus. Is that where you are teaching ? If not tell me where and I can make other suggestions for housing. There are many condos for rent as well most within a few miles of the W&M campus some within walking distance. We have only had one ice storm in the last 10 years that I can remember. Snow hasn't been a problem for at least 4 years. Schools have not closed within that time frame. Virtually no accumulation.

Not sure what area of Yorktown you're looking at. I'm purchasing a nice 3 bdrm/2.5 bath house on the edge of Yorktown in the Coventry area for approx 300,000. A detached home may be better than a townhouse or apartment/condo for your pets.
