How the Virginia Peninsula is laid out

The Virginia Peninsula runs southeast from Williamsburg to Hampton between the James River and the York River, ending at the Chesapeake Bay and the Hampton Roads harbor. Gloucester County sits across the York River on the Middle Peninsula, connected to Yorktown by the Coleman Bridge.

Virginia has a local-government feature that most states do not: independent cities that are not part of any county. On and around the Peninsula:

• Independent cities: Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson and Williamsburg.
• Counties: York County, James City County and, across the river, Gloucester County.

Each city and each county sets its own real estate tax rate and runs its own zoning, permits and services. School divisions follow the same lines with one exception: the City of Williamsburg and James City County share Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools.

Mailing addresses cross municipal lines

The town name on a mailing address is a postal name, not a jurisdiction, and on the Peninsula the two often disagree:

• Yorktown is an unincorporated community and the county seat of York County, not a city. Yorktown addresses cover most of lower York County, including Tabb and Grafton. Seaford addresses are also York County.
• Williamsburg ZIP codes 23185 and 23188 cover parts of the City of Williamsburg, James City County and upper York County. Kingsmill is in James City County; Queens Lake, a few miles away, is in York County.
• Kiln Creek straddles the Newport News and York County line.
• Toano is in James City County, and Hayes and Gloucester Point are in Gloucester County.

The jurisdiction decides the tax bill and the school division, so every area page explains which government an address actually falls under. Adam's sales are counted by mailing city, the way the record stores them.

2026 real estate tax rates

Each area page links the official source for its rate, as of October 2026. A lower rate does not always mean a lower bill, because each locality assesses property separately.

Communities

Sixteen community pages go deeper on the neighborhoods buyers and sellers ask about most: six in and around York County, two in Newport News, and eight in the Williamsburg area, including gated and 55+ communities. Specialty pages cover waterfront homes, military relocation, luxury homes and downsizing. Adam's full record is on Sold, and his background, including the Virginia Peninsula Association of REALTORS® ranking him its #1 individual agent every year since 2018, is on About Adam.
