Located two miles northeast of Greensboro, Rosewood is a triangular pocket of bungalows and ranch-style homes wedged between North O. Henry Boulevard, Summit Avenue and Wendover Avenue East. Established in 1928 for workers at a nearby mill, the neighborhood has benefited from rehabilitation efforts to repair homes, install streetlights and develop a local green space, Rosewood Park. “Buyers like this area of Greensboro because it tends to be more affordable and offers convenient access to highways and Wendover Avenue,” says Yuliana Mota Flores, Realtor with eXp Realty who has been selling homes across the Piedmont Triad for 7 years. Residents are also less than a mile from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, a historically Black school.

Garages are uncommon, though some residents use carports. The neighborhood’s various single-family homes usually go for between $75,000 and $215,000.
