Newly developed suburbs in the Triad’s center
Sandy Ridge isn’t home to expansive dunes but rather farms and forests interspersed with newly developed subdivisions. This geographically large suburb sits just west of Greensboro and north of High Point, which puts residents in a good spot to enjoy many of the Triad’s amenities. Notably, Piedmont Triad International Airport is only a 10-mile drive away, while Interstate 40 is just north of the community. Residents aren’t short on local attractions either, like Oak Hollow Park, a 1,500-acre lakefront green space with a marina, golf course and more.
Midcentury ranchers and expansive, custom-built New Traditionals
The north side of the neighborhood consists of ranch-style homes strewn on one to three-acre lots between farms and forests. “There are some larger properties and lots of opportunities for custom builds,” says Bonnie Owens, real estate agent with Mantle Realty and a nearby resident of 12 years. Homes’ large front yards decorated with mature trees afford residents a great deal of privacy. Usually constructed between the 1950s and ‘90s, these builds go between $250,000 and $500,000. Most residents live on the south side of the neighborhood, which has seen a lot of growth over the past few decades, with new constructions continuing to enter the market. Most of these builds follow Colonial Revival and New Traditional designs, with steeply gabled roofs, bay driveways and front walkways lined with leafy foliage. Often spanning two stories, these larger builds tend to offer 2,300 square feet of interior space and are usually priced between $350,000 and $550,000. The average square footage of a single-family stands at 2,700, which is well above the national average of 1,900.

Near the center of the Triad
Sandy Ridge is located near the center of the Piedmont Triad. Interstate 40 passes to the north, leading east to Greensboro and west to Winston-Salem. Both are roughly 18 miles away, while High Point is 8 miles south. Interstate 74 runs to the south all the way toward Lumberton. Piedmont Triad International Airport sits roughly 10 miles to the northeast, while Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center is 5 miles to the northwest. Nicknamed the “home furnishings capital of the world,” High Point is home to furniture stores and manufacturers such as Marsh Furniture. “High Point is a huge center for the furniture industry,” says Owens. “People come from all around for these big showrooms and conventions. If that’s your industry, this is a great place to be.”
