Purcelville

Norwich, VT. I loved it. It was cold, which was a downside. Also minimal privacy. People would let me know that they saw me getting gas at x station at y time two towns over and would ask why I was over there. It was in a friendly agnostic way but I never got used to it. We definitely didn’t lock our doors.

I grew up in a small town like this. It didn't bother me, but it bothered my mother. She banked in another town because the bank employees were all related to half the town and went to each other's parties. In fact half the town was related to each other. They definitely knew each other's business.

St Michael's is absolutely stunning.

If Saint Michael’s attracts people who use phrases like “absolutely stunning” then I don’t want to go there.

Middleburg is more of a true town. Waterford is a cute historic enclave but it’s not a town in the functioning sense imo although it does have its own local elementary school which is nice and an active civic group. Waterford has major issues with traffic, both cut-through traffic and traffic in and out on Clarkes Gap, which I feel detracts from its charm.

Cape Charles is a great option.

Lynchburg. Yes, there's a college there but it's not that big (also, it's conservative) so it doesn't overpower the town.

Williamsburg doesn’t have much of a town at all. It’s a theme park and college campus surrounded by a bunch of gated retirement communities.

If you are willing to move to Indiana, a friend of mine thinks she has found her Stars Hollow in Lawrenceburg.
