Quiet community close to the action of Downtown Winston-Salem
Overlooking Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 421Close to a slew of retailers, restaurants and recreation, South Fork is highly sought-after for its convenient location. “It’s a centrally located area, you’re about 15 to 20 minutes away from anywhere in Winston-Salem here,” says Realtor Jason McDougald of Leonard Ryden Burr Real Estate, who has worked with several clients buying and selling homes in the neighborhood. He adds that price is also a selling point, but a minor one compared to location. “It’s just a good place to raise a family. That’s why I moved back here from Northern Virginia. You’re not far from shopping, from parks, and the traffic here is nothing compared to NoVA.” Decades-long South Fork Recreation Leader Zach Gordon agrees. “South Fork is definitely a quieter neighborhood. A lot of people enjoy walking and overall like to keep to themselves. Regardless, if you want to turn up the heat, you’re still a hop and a skip from downtown.”
You can enjoy a leisurely walk on the Salem Creek Greenway at Shaffner Park in Winston-Salem.

Well-maintained homes with good bones
Housing architecture ranges from classic late-midcentury split-levels and ranch-style bungalows to 1980s condos and early-2000s-era Traditional homes. Standalone, single-family homes sell for between $270,000 and $640,000, while condo units run anywhere from $110,000 to $245,000. The difference in price for both single-family homes and condos depends mainly on size; smaller homes/units fall on the lower end of the spectrum and larger ones fall on the high end. Age and condition also factor into the sale price of the neighborhood’s single-family homes, but McDougald observes that those two things don’t always go hand in hand. “An older home may go for more than a newer home, just because it’s been really well-maintained. People seem to be seeking out houses with good bones these days; they’re not necessarily looking for the newest house on the block.”

South Fork Panthers youth sports teams and more

Both stores are on Country Club Road, the main thoroughfare that runs through the middle of South Fork, within 2 miles of most homes.

The area houses specialty shops such as House of Cards, which sells tabletop games and accessories, and The Train Loft, a model train store.

McDougald says many locals also frequent Hanes Mall Boulevard and Interstate 40 business corridors, a few miles south, for shopping and dining. The area is teeming with big box retailers and chain restaurants, including Walmart Supercenter, Target and Olive Garden, to name a few.

Overlooking Interstate 40 and U.S. Route 421
Interstate 40 curves past the community’s south side, connecting east toward the Piedmont Triad International Airport and Greensboro, about 30 miles east. Downtown Winston-Salem is much closer; the nearly 7-mile drive east typically takes less than 15 minutes via U.S. Route 421, which runs along South Fork’s southeast side. At the neighborhood's north end, Silas Creek Parkway connects north toward Wake Forest University, a major local employer.
