Just west of a major thoroughfare

North Winston is a suburban residential neighborhood that lies just west of U.S. Route 52 and 2 miles north of downtown Winston-Salem. Wake Forest University teaches almost 9,000 students and is located 2 miles west of North Winston. Nicknamed the Twin City, in reference to its dueling names, Winston-Salem is the birthplace of many iconic American brands. Camel cigarettes and Krispy Kreme donuts both got their start in Winston. James Patella is an experienced Realtor who specializes in the Winston-Salem Market. “The area around Route 52 is known for being a very affordable market,” Patella says. “The one thing that I love about the area most of all is the food. It’s definitely a great place to go if you like all things southern cuisine.” Economically speaking, the city is showing new promise, as efforts are being made to spearhead the development of a new technology manufacturing sector in the city. The healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and hospitality industries are also major drivers of growth in the city.

Cozy southern cabins

Single-story Cape Cod and cottage-style houses line the streets of North Winston. Towering Oak trees cast a shadow on the neighborhood and provide natural cooling shade on even the hottest summer days. Houses and properties here are humble in size, being built on small plots of land and connecting to an extensive sidewalk system. Brick walls and front porches are a common sight. Price points here range from $90,000 to $250,000, with an average sales price of $110,000. The housing market is limited, as both supply and demand for homes is low.
