This small, unincorporated community sits at the center of the Piedmont Triad, 15 miles away from High Point and Winston-Salem and about 20 miles from downtown Greensboro. With much of the neighborhood occupied by industrial parks and employment centers, residents of Colfax enjoy secluded, quiet streetscapes with access to nearby areas like Kernersville for shopping and recreation. “You’re a little further out, but you still have access to colleges in the area like High Point University and the airport,” says Bonnie Owens, local real estate agent at Mantle Realty and nearby resident of 12 years. Piedmont Triad International Airport sits just 10 miles east of Colfax, meaning some residents of Colfax will hear passing planes depending on their location.

Colfax features a wide range of available homes. “You can find investment properties and fixer-uppers, all the way up to million-dollar properties,” Owens says. Midcentury National and Farmhouse-style homes with covered front porches on large lots can sell for around $250,000, while newer constructions tend to sit closer together with fenced-in backyards with covered patios. Four-bedroom New Traditional-style homes featuring vertical siding, stone detailing and prominent two-car garages can sell for as little as $400,000. Some Colonial Revival-style homes from the 1990s and 2000s featuring brick exteriors and dormer windows on expansive lots can sell for over $500,000, while estate-style homes on multi-acre lots with large, manicured gardens and attached three-car garages can sell for as much as $1 million. Three-bedroom townhomes, built in the 2000s or 2020s on the neighborhood’s south side, also feature attached two-car garages and stone detailing on their exteriors and can sell for around $300,000.
