Family-friendly community with Lake Jeanette at its heart

Four large lakes sit in the dense forest of Northern Greensboro, but homes only surround one of them. Built in 1940, the 270-acre Lake Jeanette anchors the private community that shares its name. The Lake Jeanette neighborhood features 16 villages, each governed by its own HOA, built between the early 1990s and today. Residents here fully embrace the lakefront life, taking advantage of outdoor amenities like a small marina as well as 12 tennis courts and two lap pools. “People are drawn to this neighborhood for the lake, but the Guilford school district is a strong selling point for families. It’s one of the best in Greensboro,” says Tamara Chapman, a 10-year Realtor with Keller Williams Kernersville.

Contemporary brick homes and lakefront views

The neighborhood’s 16 villages are grouped into four communities: Eastern Shores, The Point, Southern Shores and Northern Shores. All offer lakefront and inland properties with well-kept yards shaded by dense tree cover. Homes rest on wide streets without sidewalks and range from condos, townhouses and smaller ranch-style homes to spacious Modern Transitional and Colonial Revival designs. Some of the most expensive properties in the neighborhood sit in Northern Shores, where custom mansions spread out over ½ acre. These properties start at $900,000 and can top $2 million. Most homes fall between $450,000 and $900,000, though properties farthest from the lake can go for under $350,000. Condos sit at the bottom of the market, ranging from $235,000 to $335,000. All homeowners in Lake Jeanette are required to pay monthly HOA fees that can top $300.

Water-based recreation and family-friendly fun at Glenn McNairy Branch Library

Outdoor amenities are central to life at Lake Jeanette. The community has 7 miles of walking trails meandering throughout the community. Homeowners have access to the private marina on Bass Chapel Road, which offers canoes, pontoon boats and paddle boards for rent. The neighborhood’s private Swim and Tennis Club caters to residents of all ages, with a main pool that has a diving board and commercial waterslides. Less than 6 miles outside the community, the 250-acre Bur-Mil Park offers a par 3 golf course with nine holes, an aquatic center and a playground. The park is adjacent to Lake Brandt, an 816-acre municipal reservoir often used for fishing, kayaking, or just taking in views of the water. Numerous hiking and mountain biking trails and greenways are a short drive from Lake Jeanette, including the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway and Reedy Fork Trail. Country Park, one of the largest green spaces in northern Greensboro, and Greensboro Science Center sit side by side about 3 miles away. Angela Moran, a Realtor with United Realty Group who moved to the city 14 years ago, says Glenn McNairy Branch Library is a popular spot for families on a rainy day, “It has a big pirate ship in it that’s like 25 feet long. It’s for the kids to play on and has book nooks.”

Local flavor and friendly service at Lake Jeanette Commons

Lake Jeanette Commons sits less than 3 miles from the neighborhood. The shopping center is home to the locally owned At Elm Street Grill, known for its friendly service and eclectic menu. Moran says residents also head about 5 miles north into Summerfield to dine at Luigi's Restaurant Bar & Pizzeria. “My friends who’ve been to Italy say it's very close to authentic Italian. Next to it is Village Beverage, a little watering hole. They do live music and community events,” she says. Harris Teeter is one of several grocery stores in the area. It’s in North Elm Village, a sprawling outdoor mall with a mix of restaurants and shops. Retail giants like Walmart Supercenter, Big Lots and Lowe’s Outlet line Battleground Avenue.

Quick access to I-840

Interstate 840, also called the Greensboro Urban Loop, is nearby to reach destinations around the city, including Piedmont Triad International Airport, a little over 9 miles away. Downtown Greensboro, with its vibrant dining, shopping and entertainment options, is a 7-mile drive down North Elm Street.
