Living among trees and gardens in Hamilton Forest

From the park that spans across its center to the public gardens next door to the neighborhood, Hamilton Forest proves its name was no fluke. Despite the Greensboro community's green setting, residents don't lose quick access to city amenities, such as the shops and restaurants that fill the nearby Friendly Center shopping plaza. Plus, Downtown Greensboro is only 10 minutes away.

Large homes in a wooded Greensboro setting

The neighborhood's midcentury ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals have spacious four- and five-bedroom floor plans. Residents maximize their third-of-an-acre lots, with many adding trimmed bushes, Japanese cherry blossoms and flowering shrubs. Plus, the neighborhood is full of hardwoods that are "absolutely beautiful trees that tower over 100 feet tall," says Ed Purgason, a broker with Purgason Prime Properties by eXp Realty. Homes sell from the mid-$300,000s to the upper $600,000s.

Scenic walks nearby at Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden and more

Brown Bark Park covers nearly 25 acres at the heart of Hamilton Forest, with a stream cutting through the center of the narrow green space. People often walk their dogs on the park's long pathway, but there's no fenced-in area for pets to run off-leash. Across the street from the neighborhood, people walk alongside blooming flowers and over a stone bridge at Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden. Next door, the Bog Garden at Benjamin Park features a waterfall alongside its wooded walking trail.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
