Small but growing village in North Carolina’s northwestern Piedmont
A relaxed, small-town spirit is alive and well in the Forsyth County village of Clemmons. A suburb of Winston-Salem, Clemmons sits roughly 10 miles southwest of the city, with the Yadkin River hugging its western edge. Here, residents enjoy a quiet atmosphere with a lively urban center just a short drive away. “It’s a really progressive community, and people are really laid back,” says Decca Slaughter, the Clemmons Branch Manager for Forsyth County Public Library. “We’re our own microcosm; We have a ton of restaurants, our own medical centers and the library. We have good schools.” She adds that while the community comes with a close-knit feel, the village is growing. It’s home to a little more than 20,000 people, rising by more than 1% each year. “Clemmons is drawing a lot of young folks. There are some little bars and areas to hang out,” she says.
Founded by Peter Clemmons in the early 1800s, Clemmons was first called Clemmonsville, growing on agriculture and industry. A historic stagecoach in Village Hall and the riverside ruins of North Carolina’s first commercial hydroelectric power plant are a nod to the village’s development heading into the industrial age. Manufacturing remains a top industry, with Clemmons hosting companies such as Stanford Manufacturing and Innovia Films America, Inc. Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist and Novant Health are the county’s top employers. Both host hospitals in town.
A range of home styles less than 15 miles from Downtown Winston-Salem
The median price for a home in Clemmons is roughly $405,000, up 3% from 2023 to 2024. This is on par with the national median of around $406,000 in November 2024. Nearly 450 homes were sold in Clemmons over the same time frame, and the supply remained strong, with more than 100 homes on the market in December 2024. Slaughter says development is booming as more condos, townhouses and apartments pop up around town.
Mid-1900s Cape Cods and ranch-style homes populate Village Center, along with a growing number of townhouses. Brick traditional homes from the 1990s and early 2000s fill the subdivisions of Clemmons North, while Clemmons features a mix of 1980s Colonial Revivals and Modern Transitional designs built in the 2020s. New housing developments are taking shape along the village’s southern edge.
The Piedmont region of North Carolina experiences all four seasons. Summers are humid and have the possibility of hurricanes and tropical storms. Winters are mild, with the chance for a few inches of snow. With Muddy Creek to the east, the Yadkin River to the west and various creeks in between, some properties rest against regulatory floodways or sit in flood hazard areas, according to FEMA flood maps. Clemmons has a Capital Improvement Program to address storm drainage-related issues.
There are a wide variety of home styles within the Clemmons North neighborhood.
Many of the homes within Clemmons North have well-manicured lawns.

Shopping in Village Center, the Yadkin Valley Wine Country close by
The Village Center neighborhood features Clemmons’ retail corridor along Lewisville Clemmons Road. A mix of locally owned boutiques, longtime restaurants and bars complement recognizable chains and national grocers. Residents support area farmers and producers at the Clemmons Farmers Market every Saturday morning from May through September at the Jerry Long Family YMCA. There’s also a Holiday Pop-Up Market held in late November to encourage residents to shop small for the holiday season. Clemmons is a little over 20 miles east of the Yadkin Valley Wine Country, an American Viticultural Area stretching over seven counties in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, drawing tourists and residents for its bounty of vineyards.
Clemmons Country Store features locally-made products, including delicious honey.

Clemmons’ creativity comes with a passion for community events
Clemmons art scene is growing. The village hosts Warm Glass Gallery & Studio, a glass-focused gallery by local artist Jody Danner Walker that’s also an art supply shop and studio offering workshops in various fused glass techniques. The community’s youngest performers sharpen their skills before taking center stage at Creative Drama Children’s Theater in Village Center, popular for its slate of children’s musicals held each spring. While normally a quiet place to read a good book, the Forsyth County Public Library Clemmons Branch fills with music for its bluegrass jam sessions and ukelele circles. The library is often a place of community, hosting various book clubs and youth programs. Just like the library, the village has a packed calendar of community events. “They have a Monster Dash and Goblin Hop for Halloween. They always have holiday and seasonal things like the annual Christmas Tree Lighting with Santa,” says Slaughter.
Clemmons is home to Southwest Athletics. Formerly Southwest Forsyth Little League, the longstanding organization has offered Little League Baseball and Softball since the 1960s. The baseball team has seen success, most recently appearing in the 2022 Cal Ripken World Series. Meanwhile, athletes of all ages train and compete at RISE Indoor Sports, across from Truist Soccer Park. The massive facility provides fitness training and various leagues, from indoor football and basketball to pickleball and volleyball.

Tanglewood Park is a countywide destination for recreation
Clemmons and the surrounding area hosts a handful of parks for outdoor recreation, team sports and holiday events. Spending time along the Yadkin River is a popular pastime at Tanglewood Park. Along with typical park amenities, this sprawling green space features riverside trails, a BMX track, a horse-riding facility and an arboretum. Residents drive through the park in December for the colorful Festival of Lights, celebrating the holiday season. Several golf clubs line the riverbank, including Bermuda Run Country Club, which features two 18-hole courses. The stocked Village Point Lake provides a central spot for fishing. The Village Point Greenway wraps around the water’s edge for scenic walks and bike rides. Clemmons recently purchased nearly 13 acres of land from Novant Health to expand this green space and add permanent restrooms, among other things. For adventures in nature, Pilot Mountain State Park is about 30 miles away.

Commuting around the Piedmont Triad and planning for the future
Many people either work in Clemmons or commute to neighboring Winston-Salem, according to Slaughter. “You can get to Winston-Salem within 10 minutes,” she says. Interstate 40 bisects the village and provides a straightforward route into the city center, less than 15 miles away, and to Greensboro, roughly 40 miles east. Piedmont Triad International Airport is in between, offering nonstop flights to cities such as Charlotte, Atlanta and Denver. U.S. Route 421 is nearby to reach destinations across the Piedmont Triad.
From new sidewalks and crosswalk improvements to possible bike lanes, Clemmons is preparing a new transportation plan. As a first step, the village is collecting feedback from residents, which will be used to shape the policies and projects. The plan document is slated to be drafted in the Spring of 2025.
Clemmons does not have its own police department. The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office serves the village. Because of this, crime data specific to Clemmons is not readily available.
