Hackett Lake's landscape alternates between forests and pastures.
Pastures, trees and waterfront define Hackett Lake
Even though it's less than 5 miles from Downtown Greensboro, Hackett Lake is defined by forests and winding country roads. The community southeast of the Greensboro city limits surrounds a small, private lake, but homes rarely have views of the water. Instead, houses may face pine thickets and fields of cows. The semirural setting lends a peaceful and unhurried atmosphere to Hackett Lake. At the same time, the community's location between two interstates means it's not isolated from the rest of Greensboro.
Homes with lots ranging from 1 to 10 acres
Ranch-style homes are scattered across the landscape on large lots. Most lots span at least an acre, and some encompass 10-plus acres of land. These spacious properties give homeowners enough room for backyard pools, large sheds and, in some cases, cow pastures. “It’s good for folks who want to be close to the city and still have privacy,” says Phyllis Davis, who is owner of Phyllis Brown Realty and has experience selling homes in Hackett Lake. Houses don't often hit the market in Hackett Lake, and the neighborhood's only recent home sale fetched a price in the mid-$200,000s.
Some Hackett Lake homes are close together, invoking more of a suburban feel.
This ranch-style home comes with a large shed.

I-85 and I-40 are some of the major roadways near Hackett Lake.
Get around town using I-40 and Greensboro Urban Loop

Meanwhile, Interstate 85 passes to the south, forming part of the Greensboro Urban Loop, a beltway useful for traveling around the metro area.
