Mixed-use community

The Village is known for its mix of residential and commercial areas, and 92% of the people who live here are renters. Homes are budget-friendly for those seeking to buy, and the community is close to city amenities. "People like that they have easy access to Highways 40, [which turns into] 421 and lots of shopping and dining choices," says COVO Realtor Sarah Katsamas, who lived in Winston-Salem for 30 years. Known as a City of Arts and Innovation, Winston-Salem is home to acclaimed universities, a bustling culture and a renowned culinary scene.

Mostly condos and townhomes

Though there are some single-family houses, The Villages mainly comprises condos and townhomes that range in price from $69,000 to $128,000. Architectural styles include ranch, Cape Cod and Craftsman. For $100,000, a buyer can get a 900-square-foot, two-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath condominium. Streets are tree-lined in certain areas, and most homes have garages or parking spaces. There are no sidewalks.

So much to do at one park

Residents have to leave the area to get to the nearest park, which is Little Creek Park, a 1-mile drive via back roads. The park's amenities include a baseball/softball diamond, a basketball court, a play area, a splash pad, walking trails and a tennis court. For avid golfers, the Heather Hills Golf Course is a 3.5-mile drive via local roads. Heather Hills is an 18-hole executive golf course with a café and a pro shop.

Two names become one

Winston-Salem was founded in 1913 from two separate towns a mile apart. Winston was named in 1851 after Major Joseph Winston, a Revolutionary War hero. Salem, from the Hebrew word "shalom," was created by colonists in 1766. In the 1880s, the U.S. Post Office started to refer to the towns with the two names together as Winston-Salem. Following a decade of contention, the U.S. Post Office established the Winston-Salem post office in 1899, officially incorporating the name "Winston-Salem."

Unique shops and restaurants

For grocery shopping, residents have a few choices, including Harris Teeter, Publix, Food Lion and Trader Joe's, all within a 15-minute drive from anywhere in the neighborhood. There are a few unique local businesses like McKay's, less than a 2-mile drive via back roads. Not only can locals find used books and records here, but residents can trade in their used goods for cash or store credit. Hanes Mall is the only indoor mall in Winston-Salem and features chain store favorites like Belk, Dillard's, Macy's, JCPenney, and Old Navy. The complex sits off Stratford Road, the main thoroughfare throughout the city. "The majority of the residents do their shopping at Hanes Mall Boulevard and Stratford Road," Katsamas says. Kickback Jack's is a local sports bar chain serving steak, seafood and pub grub. To catch the latest flicks, AMC is a 2–mile drive on local roads.

Take the car

"The hospitals and universities bring in new people and provide employment for residents," Katsamas says. Public transit is not available in this community, so commuters must rely on their cars. Piedmont Triad International Airport is a 29-mile drive via I-40 E.
