A former resort town keeps its rustic charm
Hamilton Lakes was initially developed in the 1920s as a planned resort town with its own zip code and post office. Although the community was annexed by the growing city of Greensboro in the ‘50s, lush greenery and recreational lakes remain defining characteristics. “It’s an awesome community,” says Meredith Parsons, a Realtor with Tyler Redhead and McAlister Real Estate who lives in nearby Starmount Forest. “They have their own voluntary neighborhood association where people work together to keep their walking trails and parks clean.” The area’s old-growth forests and rustic-looking stone bridges from the neighborhood’s early days complement the modest ranch-style homes that make up present-day Hamilton Lakes. “It’s predominantly a community of original ranchers from the 1960s and ‘70s, though many have been remodeled,” says John Nosek, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway who has sold homes around the Triad of Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem for eight years. “It appeals to younger couples and families and older generations looking to downsize. It’s right in the center of town, which makes it very convenient to get around Greensboro.”

Elegant homes on half-acre lots surround Lake Hamilton and Lake Euphemia
Ranch-style homes, split-levels and Colonial Revivals with porches sit on half-acre lots shaded by a canopy of mature trees. A small number of homes have direct access to Lake Hamilton or Lake Euphemia. Driveways tend to be wide, long or horseshoe-shaped, and the streets, which are laid out in a curving pattern with few sidewalks, can accommodate parked cars. The average square footage of a single-family home stands at about 2,750, well above the national figure of 1,931. Single-family homes are typically priced between $375,000 and $700,000, though builds in need of little more updating can get down to $280,000. Conversely, larger houses offering over 2,500 square feet of living space and custom builds can range between $800,000 and $1.5 million. A few single-story townhouses line Preys Street, with units usually priced between $350,000 and $390,000.

Hamilton Lakes Park and themed gardens
Hamilton Lakes Park and its associated bodies of water are the neighborhood’s main attractions. The park is not one but two parks, with one maintained by the city and the other by the Hamilton Lakes and Parks owners association, though the boundaries are a little vague. Altogether, the parks span some 80 acres and feature a few miles of hiking trails, a playground and several benches along Lake Euphemia, which is often used by anglers. Only members and guests of Hamilton Lakes and Parks can visit the association-maintained park or access the lakes, unless a community-wide event is taking place. Motorized vessels are prohibited from entering the lakes. The members-only Hamilton Lakes Swim and Tennis Club features three pools for water polo and swimming lessons and 12 separate courts for tennis and pickleball. Visitors can enjoy air hockey and table tennis in the clubhouse, which can be rented for special events. On the east side of the community, Starmount Forest Country Club offers 18 holes of golf along with a fitness center and swimming pool. The Tangier Family Bicentennial Garden sits off North Holden Road less than a mile from the neighborhood. Sculptures and themed gardens decorate the 7.5-acre park. Additional themed gardens can be admired at the Greensboro Arboretum, less than 2 miles east of Hamilton Lakes.
