Suburban communities along Vandalia Road

Vandalia is a collection of subdivisions that largely branch off Vandalia Road. Pocket parks, restaurants, stores and attractions are wedged between suburbs, meaning residents never have to venture far for errands or play. “Convenience is the neighborhood’s draw. It’s convenient to two shopping centers and pretty close to Interstate 85,” says Richard Paulicelli, Realtor with Fathom Realty who has sold homes across the Triad for 6 years. Vandalia is also the location of the Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe, a 40-acre water park offering water slides of all sizes, playgrounds and a lazy river.

A mix of homes from across the 20th century

Several subdivisions comprise the community, some with HOAs and others without. What’s uniform about the neighborhood is the diversity of architectural styles. Split-levels, ranch-styles, Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals sit on shady, ¼ acre lots and gently sloping hills. The earliest builds are bungalows dating to the 1920s, while ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals can date between the ‘60s and ‘80s. While there are some 21st-century builds, construction has slowed since the ‘90s. The average square footage for a single-family is around 1,400, below the national average of about 1,900. There aren’t many garages, though some homes have attached carports. Single-family homes typically cost between $100,000 and $300,000. Townhouses are north of Rounda Lake and south of Allen Middle School. Prices range from $100,000 to $200,000.

Members of the Woodlea Lakes HOA, located on the east side of Vandalia, have access to Rounda Lake, which is favored for fishing and a community pool. The Brown Community Recreation Center to the south features a playground, picnic shelters and a gym where youth sports teams meet and play. Above Board Skatepark and Skate Shop is popular for locals interested in performing tricks on the half-pipe and skateboard purchases. Situated between a few subdivisions, Shannon Hills Park offers two small playgrounds and paved walking trails that the meandering Ryan Creek and residential streets. Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe on the southwest corner of Vandalia is packed with a selection of high-thrill and kid-friendly water slides and rides, a lazy river, a wave pool and more.

Independent artists and live performances at the Greensboro Summer Solstice Festival

The Greensboro Summer Solstice Festival is a celebration of independent artists, performers and the longest day of the year. Many attendees and organizers dress up in colorful, sparkling clothes, and there are plenty of body artists, too. In the past, festivities have included fire spinners and LED hooping, but live music and the drum circle are staples of the event. Greensboro Arboretum and Lindley Park typically hosts the festival, which takes place in mid-to-late June.

Between Interstates 85 and 40

Interstate 85 bounds Vandalia to the south, stretching behind several backyards on the neighborhood's southwest corner. “The biggest factor in people deciding not to buy my listing was the noise from I-85, which was right behind the home,” Paulicelli says. “When you’re outside, you can definitely hear the traffic. Even when you’re inside, you can hear it if there’s no furniture. But after my clients brought in their furniture, they said it wasn’t a problem.” I-85 connects with Interstate 73 to the west and Interstate 840 to the east. Together, these three highways form the 40-mile Greensboro Urban Loop. Via this beltway, Piedmont Triad International Airport is roughly an 18-mile drive northwest. Interstate 40 runs just north of the neighborhood, heading west toward Winston-Salem and east toward Burlington. Greensboro Transit Agency bus routes 12 and 13 run up and down Elm-Eugene Street and Randleman Road, respectively. Both lines go as far north as the J. Douglas Gaylon Depot in downtown Greensboro.
