Lasting local legacy
Named for the Winston-Salem family who founded the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company in the late 1800s, Reynolda Park is an affluent suburb less than 4 miles northwest of downtown. The Reynolds family legacy permeates the area beyond these quiet residential streets, from the public, formal gardens and upscale shopping district that now fill their former country estate to the main thoroughfare that runs past the east side of the neighborhood. All three bear the family’s name. But beyond Reynolda Park’s significance in local history, it’s the “big, historic homes here” that people love most, according to Sarah Katsamas, a Realtor with Covo Realty who has lived in the city all her life. Fathom Realty’s Alex Quate adds that Reynolda Park “gives more of a neighborhood vibe” than some of the other areas on this side of town, too, which only enhances its appeal.
Sale prices well above the city’s median
Reynolda Park homes are set back from the quiet residential streets by broad, hilly lawns. Many properties are shaded by towering oak and pine trees; colorful eastern redbuds, dogwoods and crape myrtles bloom from the understory through the spring and summer. “Houses here have historic character on the outside with new renovations on the inside,” says Katsamas. The mid to late-20th-century homes here come in a range of styles, from classic Cape Cod and Colonial Revival to split-level and ranch. In luxury communities like The Terrace at Chatham Lake, the new construction tends toward Traditional and Dallas-style. Prices start at around $350,000 and can climb to more than $1 million. The median hovers around $405,000, more than 53% higher than the median for Winston-Salem.

Speas Global Elementary School sign.
Education programs from preschool through college
Between preschool and fifth grade, youngsters go to Whitaker Elementary School, which earns an A-minus from Niche. Wiley Magnet Middle School, which offers a STEAM magnet program, earns a B-minus. Wiley is a feeder school for Atkins Academic & Technology High, which has a continuing STEM magnet program, and R.J. Reynolds High. Atkins earns an A from Niche, as well as the No. 2 spot on the site’s list of the best public high schools in Forsyth County. Reynolds, home of the Arts for Academics Magnet School, earns a B-plus, as well as the No. 13 spot on Niche’s list of the best high schools for the arts in North Carolina. The Children’s Center is less than 2 miles from most homes in Reynolda Park. The alternative school is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school district and offers programs between preschool and fifth grade, including a hospital/homebound program, for students with intellectual or physical impairments. Summit School, a private school for kids in third through ninth grade, is also less than 2 miles from most homes, off Reynolda Road. The secular private school earns an A-plus from Niche. Wake Forest University is less than a mile and a half north, too, and offers more than 50 majors to undergraduate-level students. “If you live in Reynolda Park, you’re closely following the Wake Forest football team,” says Katsamas.
Golfing, gardens and more
“There are probably around 15 golf courses within a 15-mile radius in Winston-Salem, so you could say golf is pretty important to the locals,” says Katsamas. The closest to Reynolda Park, Old Town Club, is less than 2 miles east. The private golf club features an 18-hole course, tennis courts, swimming pools and a fitness center. Between Old Town Club and home, Reynolda Gardens features more than 130 acres of wooded walking trails and formal gardens. Though open to the public year-round, Reynolda Gardens is especially pretty in the spring, when the azaleas, cherry trees and cut flower gardens bloom. The grounds used to be part of the Reynolds family’s country estate. Their mansion, now a museum, still stands at the heart of the gardens. Residents can also head north to the heavily forested Polo Park, where they can walk on the paved trail or play tennis on the hard courts. The Polo Park Community Center offers after-school recreation programs for elementary-aged kids.

Shopping and dining in Reynolda Village, on Stratford Road
Upscale shopping and dining options are close at hand in Reynolda Village, off Reynolda Road at the north end of the neighborhood. The shopping center is reminiscent of an old-timey English village; the district used to be the Reynolds family’s country estate in the early 20th century. The original dairy barns, cattle sheds, schoolhouse and post office buildings, among others, are now home to an array of modern retail and restaurants. “One of the first Village Tavern locations is in there,” says Quate. Village Tavern has been a local favorite since the ‘80s; now a regional chain, it’s popular for its eclectic menu of Southern and European-inspired fare. At Dough-Joe’s Doughnuts & Coffee, customers can plop on homey couches to enjoy cake doughnuts and drip coffee. Beyond food, there are several boutiques specializing in women’s clothing and accessories, including Half Past Three and Monkee’s. Norman Stockton offers men’s suits, featuring brands like Duck Head and Barbour. For groceries, residents can head to Buie’s Market. “It’s a quick drive from Reynolda. You wouldn’t walk, but you’re not far,” says Quate. The market, which opened in 2019 and features more than 50 local vendors alongside hundreds of national brands, is about a mile and a half south. “Most people in Reynolda Park do their real shopping on Stratford Road, though,” says Katsamas. “You have all the big stores there, like Target and Home Depot, and the Hanes Mall, which is anchored by Belk and Dillard’s.” Hanes Mall and the surrounding retail district are close to Interstate 40, about 60 miles south.
Little beautiful touches are sprinkled in and around Reynolda Park.
Locals in Reynolda Park love the convenience of shopping at the centrally located Fresh Market.

On the edge of northwest Winston-Salem
The Silas Creek Parkway runs past the northwest side of Reynolda Park, connecting south to Interstate 40. The nearly 4-mile drive southeast to downtown can take as little as 10 minutes via Reynolda Road, depending on traffic. Smith Reynolds Airport is a little more than 7 miles east.
Carolina Classic Fair, SECCA festivities
The county fair-style jamboree has drawn crowds to the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds for carnival rides, petting zoos, magic shows, fireworks, pig racing and more every fall since 1952. The fairgrounds are less than 3 miles east of Reynolda Park. The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, in the heart of the neighborhood, draws visitors from far and wide for its events as much as its galleries. On second Saturday mornings each month, car lovers flock to the front lawn for Cars & Coffee. On regular Friday evenings, Lyrics by the Lake showcases musical, comedy and spoken word poetry performances alongside a local vendor market on the back lawn.
