8) Williamsburg
Williamsburg has changed a lot in the last, oh, twenty years. I’m not sure if you’ve heard that anywhere before, but it’s true. And in terms of being a place to raise a family, it’s really got a lot of amazing resources, everything from excellent public schools, to wonderful local shops, and birthing centers and and and…the list goes on. Here’s the main problem as I see it. The housing stock that’s being developed is, well, hideously ugly. And designed to appeal to aesthetically-challenged bankers. Is that who you want to raise your kids around? I should think not. Williamsburg is probably hitting its peak in terms of being a great place to raise a kid. Unfortunately, it peaked too soon. Sorry, Williamsburg. Sorry.
