Quiet living with nearby amenities

Woven into the wooded land of Winston-Salem's north side, Stonewall/Salemtowne offers suburban living just off University Parkway. "Houses there have access to a straight shot into the city,” explains Robert Wiley, a Broker with Keller Williams Realty with over 20 years of experience in the area. “And you've got access to all the shopping on that end of town — so you can stay away from the craziness of Hanes Mall Boulevard." Homes also are just north of Wake Forest University but far enough away that the area is not usually inhabited by students.

Retirement homes and suburban living

Salemtowne is a retirement living community with apartment and single-family cottage options. Entrance fees range from $80,000 to $500,000, which cover a dining plan, fitness center and pool. Outside of Salemtowne, the streets are lined with suburban single-family homes. Brick ranch-style homes start at just over $100,000, and contemporary homes with attached garages get up to $300,000. There aren't many sidewalks in the area, but the streets are quiet, tucked back from the bustle of University Parkway.

Along University Parkway

Though the streets of Stonewall/Salemtowne are quiet, homes sit within minutes of a wide variety of shopping options. University Parkway is lined with big brands, including Walmart, Target, Aldi and Sam's Club. "For food, it's mostly franchise restaurants," Wiley says. "But there are a couple of family-owned places that have ginormous menus and good prices." North Point Grill offers classic American fare in a cozy diner setting, and Francesco's opened in August of 2023 but is already a local favorite for Italian food. The major road also offers access to a movie theater, a trampoline park and the Kaleideum North, a children's science center.

Public transportation and a new Beltway

The Winston-Salem Transit Authority has bus lines that run along most major streets, and by hopping on the nearby University Parkway stop, residents can be downtown in less than 30 minutes. The drive to downtown is about 5 miles but can take up to 20 minutes with traffic. And for those who commute further out, a new highway project expected to be completed in 2030 will extend major highways through the northwest of Winston-Salem, offering more options for traveling west. The eastern section is already open, providing faster travel east to Kernersville, Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad International Airport.
