Village Center
From townhouses and Cape Cods to Modern Transitional homes
Remnants of Clemmons’ bygone eras punctuate Village Center’s winding, forested streets, from a historic public gym to a century-old feed mill, now a farm supply store. However, most homes in the neighborhood are from the mid-20th century onward. Styles popular since World War II, from Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals to split-level and ranch-style homes, comprise most of the single-family housing stock. Modern Transitional homes built between 2015 and today, with open floor plans and high-end finishes, fill new subdivisions like Lauren Acres. Flowering ornamental trees and shaped shrubs decorate neatly trimmed lawns, typically between 1/3 and ½ acre. Single-family home prices start around $200,000 and reach up to $450,000. Some red-brick townhouses from the 1990s also appear in the neighborhood, ranging from $250,000 to $350,000.West Forsyth High dedicates performing arts center to longtime teacher
In the neighborhood’s southwestern section sits Clemmons Elementary. The school earns an overall rating of A-minus from Niche and offers two running clubs. Participating students train through the fall before taking on races in November and December. Clemmons Middle also gets an A-minus rating. The school is cultivating strong readers with a required half-hour reading period every morning. The A-rated West Forsyth High is home to the James Anderson Center for the Performing Arts, hosting musicals, band and choir concerts. The auditorium is named after a beloved educator who tirelessly organized many of these performances throughout his decades-long tenure. With magnet and career-focused programs throughout the district, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools offers some school choice. Also, several highly rated private schools are within a 10-mile drive, including Forsyth Country Day School and Calvary Day School, both receiving an A-plus.Tanglewood Park is for those who love the outdoors
Recreation is close by in Village Center. To the northwest, Village Point Greenway welcomes fishing enthusiasts to catch sunfish, striped bass and more in its stocked pond. The small park also hosts the annual Monster Dash and Goblin Hop at the end of October, a Halloween event where local businesses hand out candy, coupons and other party favors. The 1,100-acre Tanglewood Park is a regional destination along the Yadkin River, offering a wide range of activities from rounds of golf on two 18-hole courses to horseback riding and BMX. The Jerry Long Family YMCA is the spot for daily workouts and the popular Clemmons Farmers Market, which is held every Saturday from May through September.Meanwhile, the Forsyth County Public Library Clemmons Branch, built in 2021, fills 20,000 square feet with an auditorium, a Makerspace and thousands of books. “Our calendar is really full. We have preschool story times every week, Pokémon Club and all kinds of STEAM programming,” says Slaughter. “For adults, we run two book clubs: Book Lovers and Cookbook Club.” She adds that the community waited nearly 10 years for the new facility after a bond referendum in 2010. “The Village of Clemmons is really protective of our library. We are one of 10 locations in the library system. Folks lobbied really hard to get a new location here.”
Clemmons Country Store nearby, Hanes Mall a short drive away
Big-name businesses, from Walmart Neighborhood Market and Lowes Foods to Starbucks, mix with locally owned shops and restaurants along the neighborhood’s western corridor. Lynette Fox, Clemmons’ Event Coordinator, recommends Be Kind Coffee Co., describing it as “a little coffee shop around the corner that’s taken off.” Its artsy interior and outdoor patio have created a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying seasonal beverages and baked goods since 2020. “The owners are just so nice,” Fox adds. The longer-running Clemmons Kitchen has been a local go-to since 1977, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner favorites from pancakes to fried catfish. Slaughter says 2520 Tavern was originally a seafood joint until it changed hands a little while back, “They have retained some of the items from the original Dockside Restaurant menu as a nod to the former owners. "Clemmons Country Store is a must-visit, according to Fox. “They’ve got local products — honey, barbecue sauces, blackberry jam — and it’s great for getting gifts, too,” she says. Less than 8 miles away, Hanes Mall offers name-brand and department-store shopping.Straightforward commutes to Downtown Winston-Salem
If residents are not working in town, they often commute to Winston-Salem, according to Slaughter. Interstate 40 and U.S. Highway 421 provide two options to reach the city center, roughly 11 miles away. Parallel to I-40, U.S. Route 158 is a back road route. Workers heading to the warehouses in the neighborhood’s northeastern section can pedal up Kinnamon Road, one of the community’s bike-friendly streets. Piedmont Triad International, the nearest commercial airport, sits about 34 miles east.
