Forest Valley combines spacious homes with a natural setting
As Joseph M. Bryan Boulevard carves through the plentiful trees in northwestern Greensboro, the roadway passes the aptly named Forest Valley. This neighborhood is known for spacious homes, surrounded by a wooded landscape that obscures the highway and shopping centers that are close by. Residents also live near Country Park, one of the largest and most multifaceted green spaces in Greensboro.
How much Forest Valley's roomy midcentury homes cost
Residents adorn their quarter-acre lots with flourishing trees, trimmed shrubs and colorful flower beds. An array of homes, primarily from the 1960s and '70s, rests on these manicured lawns. Buyers will find brick ranch-styles, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals with spacious layouts that are typically larger than 2,000 square feet. "They usually have four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms," says Carley Mann, an agent with Re/Max Realty Consultants. "They might have a garage, which is a little harder to find once you get closer to Downtown Greensboro.” Some of the neighborhood's smaller homes have sold in the upper $200,000s, but prices usually range from the upper $300,000s to the upper $500,000s.
Curb appeal and well manicured homes are important in Forest Valley.
