North Hills is a quiet slice of Northern Greensboro suburbia. With proximity to a top-notch private school and peaceful lakeside trails, this established community appeals to those looking for access to both nature and modern amenities. Just over six miles north of Downtown and minutes from the Greensboro Urban Loop, North Hills residents are in an ideal spot to access city conveniences.
The Greensboro Urban Route runs through the neighborhood’s southern edge, making commutes to surrounding Greensboro areas and employers simple. Access to a vehicle is a must, as there aren’t any bus stops within walking distance of the neighborhood.
Housing in North Hills consists mainly of ranch-style houses from the 1960s and 1970s. Most houses have traditional red brick siding and colorful shutters that hug the many front-facing windows. There are a few porch-lined Colonial-revival homes and dormered Cape Cods on tree-dense, quarter-acre lots. Many houses have between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet, at least three bedrooms and an average price tag of about $300,000. Condominium units can also be found in the area and are a slightly more affordable option in the neighborhood. Prices in North Hill range from $138,000 to $335,000.
Students attending public school in North Hills start with Jesse Wharton Elementary School, where they typically score far above the state average on their tests, according to GreatSchools. Students go on to attend Mendenhall Middle School, which has an overall Niche grade of B and is ranked the thirteenth-best public middle school in Guilford County. Teenagers attend Page High School, which has an overall Niche grade of A-minus and is ranked in the top 25 North Carolina high schools for athletes. North Hills also neighbors one of the best private schools in the Triad. Greensboro Day School received an overall A-plus grade on its Niche report card and was deemed the number one best private high school in Greensboro. The school welcomes kindergarten through 12th-grade students, supplying them with top-notch academics, arts and athletics courses and programs.
Residents have a few options if they want to spend time outdoors. A short drive north is Lake Brandt Marina, where locals can explore the hundreds of acres of the scenic lake. The marina offers kayak, canoe and paddleboard rentals throughout the summer. "The lake is a major draw," says Real Estate Agent Zelma Holyfield. "People come from all over Greensboro to enjoy the lakes in this area." Those who wish to enjoy the lake from the sidelines can trek one of the many trails that run along the shoreline, like the Piedmont Trail. The woodsy path is just under three miles long, boasts water views and offers peeks at Northern Greensboro’s abundant wildlife. The Piedmont Trail eventually leads hikers to Bur-Mil Park, just a few miles from North Hills. Bur-Mil sits next to Lake Brandt and covers 250 acres, featuring ample recreational amenities for the whole family. Visitors can soak in views of the water on the park’s pier, play a few matches of tennis or let the kids play on the playground. Another park highlight includes the aquatic center with a large swimming pool and fun water equipment to beat the heat during the warmer months.
A Harris Teeter is about three miles west when locals need to restock their pantries. The grocery store is in the heart of a large shopping center with spots to grab some food, get a haircut or a manicure. Those who wish to enjoy a meal with loved ones head to Wasabi Sushi and Teriyaki, a popular spot with several classic and specialty sushi rolls. Rody’s Tavern is the spot to watch the game over drinks and tasty snacks. The sports bar is also a popular spot for local live music and has performances every Wednesday and Friday.
