Changes are coming to Greenfield Park
Greenfield Park is Greensboro’s southeastern gateway into the North Carolinian countryside. Highways and a shopping center sit on the northwest corner, but on the other side, it’s fields and forests, with houses filling in the gaps. “It’s a transitional neighborhood,” says Smedes Lindner, Realtor with Allen Tate High Point who has been selling properties for 3 years. “There used to be working farms there, and people came to the neighborhood to be in more of a country-feeling area. Now, you have newer homes coming in.” Convenience is another strong asset of the community, situated between Interstate 40 and Interstate 85, the southern third of Greensboro’s beltway. There may not be many attractions within the neighborhood, but some are just around the corner. “It’s not a destination neighborhood. It’s more of a target for what’s around it like Barber Park,” Lindner says, referring to a favorite park of residents with walking trails, a splash pad and more.
Greenfield Park is a neighborhood with many great amenities.
Greenfield Park folks like to gather for all kinds of activities at the many nearby greenspaces.

The line leads north to downtown Greensboro and Kindred Hospital, a long-term hospital for patients with chronic health problems which is about a mile north of the neighborhood.
