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.

Fishing, hiking and more at Country Park

Head to the neighborhood's Forest Valley Park for a quick game of basketball or some time on the swing set. Ball fields and tennis courts are nearby at one of Greensboro's largest parks, Country Park. The 400-acre park encompasses two fully stocked lakes, where anglers may hook catfish, bluegill and largemouth bass while people lap around the lake on animal-shaped pedal boats. Hikers can traverse the 13 miles of wooded nature trails, and pet owners can bring their pups to dog park to socialize and play. The Greensboro Science Center is next door. It's a zoo, museum, aquarium and adventure park wrapped into one. Visitors can get a peek into the natural habitats of different animals before taking in views of Country Park from the Flyway Zipline.
