Browns Summit has a quiet atmosphere outside Greensboro
Winding country roads go through scenic farmland and woods in Browns Summit, a largely rural community just northeast of Greensboro in Guilford County. In recent years, many new subdivisions have cropped up in Browns Summit. New residents have been attracted to the area thanks to its convenience to Greensboro, quiet atmosphere and lower cost of living compared to the city. “It’s a peaceful environment where you can get away from the city but still not be too far,” says Rebeca de Jesus Bacilio, a local Realtor at Real Broker LLC. “People stay here. They plant roots here.”

Recently built new traditional homes set in farmland
Residential options in Browns Summit largely consist of single-family properties built between the mid-20th century and today. Clusters of developments intermingle with active farmland and more secluded properties on several acres. Several new subdivisions, such as Fairgrove Meadows and Wellington, have spacious traditional-style and Craftsman-inspired homes with two-car garages. Brick ranches and manufactured homes are common among the area’s older residences. The median single-family home price in Browns Summit is $396,000. “Since it’s a growing area, a lot of people are moving here with the expectation that their house value will go up,” Jesus Bacilio says. “You also just have county taxes, you don’t have city taxes, so it’s more affordable with a mortgage payment,” Jesus Bacilio says.
