Farms and subdivisions in McConnell

A drive down McConnell Road sums up the community of the same name, as the thoroughfare passes farms, subdivisions and warehouses. McConnell is a small slice of eastern Greensboro, but the community’s landscape manages to quickly transition between rural, residential and industrial. That means residents can wake up in a suburban-style subdivision, drive just a couple of miles to work and pick up fresh produce from farm stands on their way home.

Housing scene has a range of ages and styles

Most of McConnell’s homes are concentrated in developments at the heart of the community. Here’s a look at each one:

  • Creekside has New Traditional homes built from the 2000s to the 2020s
  • Townes at Creekside is a townhouse community connected to Creekside
  • McConnell Crossing is a manufactured home community with a pool, and tennis and basketball courts
In the rest of the community, older houses, including farmhouses and ranch-style homes, are scattered on acre-plus lots. Single-family homes have recently sold from the lower to mid-$200,000s. There haven’t been any recent townhouse sales, but McConnell’s median townhouse price is in the lower $200,000s.

Creekside features homes that are close together on small yards.

McConnell's easy access to interstates

When it comes to roadways and traffic, the community is both convenient and low-stress. “We are an exit away from Greensboro and 10 minutes from Burlington, but it’s pretty quiet here, and there’s not much traffic in the McConnell Road area,” says Hannah O’Neal, the community manager at the neighborhood’s Innisbrook Village Apartments.
