About Yorktown
Sitting right along the York River, Yorktown offers a laid-back waterfront lifestyle with Revolutionary War history woven right into everyday life. Down by the water, Riverwalk Landing serves as a natural gathering spot for weekend farmers markets, casual seafood dinners, and evening strolls along the river beach. As the eastern anchor of the Historic Triangle alongside Williamsburg and Jamestown, the area pairs quiet, walkable village charm and strong York County schools with easy commutes across the Coleman Bridge. It gives residents a peaceful coastal pace while keeping modern conveniences and neighboring Peninsula cities close at hand.
