A coveted Winston-Salem neighborhood just south of downtown
Directly south of downtown Winston-Salem and often referred to as Southside by locals, Washington Park is revered as one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods. Steeped in history and flowing with hip local businesses, Washington Park fuses historical charm with modern touches and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “Washington Park is its own little world,” says Realtor Sandra Aroche with Aroche Realty, a Winston-Salem local with nearly a decade of real estate experience. “A lot of people move here because there are restaurants, coffee shops and parks within walking distance. There’s a lot of history too—you’re just minutes from Old Salem.”

Historical houses with modern updates abound in Washington Park
While many houses in Washington Park are over a century old, buyers will find carefully updated interiors along with new construction. “The neighborhood has big, beautiful old school homes,” says lifelong area resident and real estate broker Veronica Ruiz of eXp Realty. “Homeowners in the area like to stay a lot longer than in most, so there isn’t a lot of turnover.” Architectural styles of the late 19th century and early 1900s, such as Craftsman-styles, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival, are found throughout the area. Lot sizes are around a quarter-acre and are lined with mature trees and lush grass. Many Craftsman-style bungalows and cottages fall within the $200,000 and $400,000 price range. Stately Queen Anne and Colonial Revivals toward South Main Street can be closer to $700,000 and even into the millions.

Community gatherings are popular at Washington Park
Washington Park is a very walkable community, where residents are often out and about in the neighborhood. “There are always people going on walks with their kids or taking their dogs for a walk,” says Ruiz. On one of these walks, residents can head to Washington Park, the area’s namesake green space. Children especially enjoy its dinosaur-themed playground, and pet owners love the off-leash dog park. Washington Park offers several baseball fields and it's also an access point for the Salem Creek Greenway, which stretches over 5 miles and connects the park with other areas like Reynolds Park and Marketplace Mall.

It also connects residents to the Piedmont Triad International Airport, which is about 25 miles away.
