Schools are great. We have two boys in elementary ourselves. We are a smaller school system only 3 high schools. Some programs may not be quite what you would find in a larger system. James City County just built a new state of the art high school which you can read about here.Welcome to Warhill High School They are building a satellite location of Thomas Nelson Community College Thomas Nelson Community College where Warhill High School students will be able to attend classes while they are in High School. The two campuses are next to each other.

As far as drivers license/ registering your car etc. You can find out everything on this website Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles

Hope this helps !

I haven't been to Williamsburg in ten years since I moved away. However, since I'm moving back, please tell me specifically where New Town is (street names?) Even though I've been away, I do remember many of the street names of the area.

Default New Town Williamsburg

If you haven't been back in ten years you will hardly recognize parts of Williamsburg. New Town is at the intersection of Ironbound Rd and Monticello Ave. Take Rt 199 off of Interstate 64 then take Monticello Ave exit and go north. Go approx one mile and it's on your left. If you were to continue north on Monticello Richmond Rd is about two miles up.

Default well

Property taxes aren't that bad especially with the rebates each year I pay about
1200.00 I have a small 2 bed condo I paid 330000 for (over paid) Utilities vary
water bills can be high and I am not getting my moneys worth for my monthly
condo extortion fee.
