Relocating to Williamsburg Area (real estate, house, wages)

[Love the Rocky Mountains]

We might be relocating from Colorado to the Williamsburg Area. I would really like to find a house with acreage and mountain type views. Can anyone direct me to the right place to be looking for real estate? Thanks a lot!

Realtor.com has a few listings for Williamsburg.

Moving to Williamsburg! WOW!!!!

I was raised in Williamsburg and my entire family still lives there. I have now lived in South Florida with my Floridian husband, for 8 years. Because of the cost of living compared to the wages, we are now looking to relocate to Northern Kentucky.

I'm also a Real Estate Agent in South Florida and have tried to find someone in Williamsburg to work with. I believe there are only 2 Real Estate companies in Williamsburg and they are both locally owned. I will get the names and numbers tomorrow and post them.

Thank you very much. Did you like the area growing up? From what I have found online it looks like a very nice place to live.

Well, let me start off by saying I'm not the kind of person that is going to trash Eastern Kentucky. I am very proud of where I came from, I just don't think I would go back. Williamsburg is a wonderful place, just not much to do.

What are some of the things that you and your family are looking for in a small town?

We currently live in a quiet mountain town on our own little 2 acres. We hardly ever see the neighbors, never hear traffic nor planes flying over head. We have to travel 20 minutes to the new super wal-mart (it just opened last week before that we traveled 60 minutes to one), it is basically just a quiet little mountain community. We are not big on suburbs and tract housing. We preferred the quiet and privacy. However we are open to pretty much anything. Wish I would have stayed off the boards though. It was a little discouraging to hear what everyone has to say. So I went to the Colorado Boards and I guess where you live is what you make of it. I love it in the Colorado Rockies and some people absolutely hate it. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

I hope I have not discouraged you! I would have never changed a thing about where or how I grew up. My Floridian husband and I are in the process of moving to Northern Kentucky as we speak.

I read the boards and it blows me away the people put down South Eastern Kentucky. Most of those people have never been to Kentucky, they watched Coal Minors Daughter and Next of Kin and now they think they know everything.
I would love to talk to you off the boards. If you would like e-mail me @ greekj@bellsouth.net with Williamsburg in the subject line. I can tell you stories and send you some pictures.
