Serene Greensboro community featuring 20th-century homes

Deep into Greensboro's western end is a suburban neighborhood alive with a blossoming garden center and a late-night pool hall. Madison Woods is a mid-20th-century community that has seen recent growth with the development of the Cannon Crossing subdivision. "This area is in a great location," says Realtor Zane Gerringer of Zane Gerringer Real Estate, Inc. "You're really close to Friendly Avenue and Guilford College, plus you're close to downtown, which is a bonus," says Gerringer, who has been selling homes in the Greensboro area for 18 years. A near-equal mix of renters and owners live in this neighborhood featuring a blend of homes, apartments, retail and industrial areas. Homebuyers will find newly built townhouses as well as ranch-style, Cape Cod and Colonial Revival builds for prices ranging from $250,000 to $470,000.

There are southern-styled homes also in Madison Woods with two-car garages.

Cape Cod and Colonial Revival homes on peaceful streets

Aside from Tower Road, a neighborhood connector, the streets here are mainly quiet with little traffic so despite a lack of sidewalks in most areas, drivers can safely share the road with residents out on a walk. Madison Woods is comprised mostly of homes from the 1960s and 1970s, yet a fair amount of new construction has covered the area. Houses are diverse in look with ranch-style, Cape Cod and Colonial Revival designs most common, typically resting on quarter-acre, manicured lots with tall mature trees providing shade. Three to four-bedroom builds are often priced between $300,000 and $400,000 but new builds along Beckwith Drive are a bit more expensive, often surpassing the $400,000 mark. A newly built townhouse along Cannon Crossing Way starts at $250,000.
