Spacious properties, 5 miles from downtown
Northwest Kernersville may sit a little further out from the Main Street shops downtown, but the added 5-mile drive doesn’t stop residents from engaging in community events and supporting small businesses. “In Kernersville, even when you’re on the outskirts, you’re still a part of the community,” says Angelique Smith, local Realtor at High Key Realty and Kernersville resident of 18 years. However, when residents come home to their own spaces, they can enjoy quiet streets and grassy landscapes secluded from heavy foot traffic.
Late 20th century farmhouses and new constructions
Compared to more historic areas of Kernersville, the northwest area tends to feature slightly newer homes. “It’s mostly well-established communities from the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Smith says. National and Farmhouse-style properties from the 1980s with three bedrooms feature covered front porches and winding driveways, selling for around $250,000, while ‘90s-era Colonial Revival homes with brick facades and attached two-car garages can sell for about $350,000. Recently built subdivisions offer Modern Craftsman-style bungalows and New Traditional-style multi-story homes with steeply gabled roofs and stone exteriors for as little as $300,000; however, larger four-bedroom properties with screened-in backyard porches on large, wooded lots can sell for between $450,000 and $600,000, depending on lot size. There aren’t many available townhomes or condos in the area, although some Modern Craftsman-style single-story duplexes with attached garages are available for around $300,000.
