Residential Greensboro community near many destinations
Bisected by Muddy Creek, Phillips Ave is a largely residential neighborhood located in a greater pocket of Greensboro that has gradually undergone change over the years. “Greensboro is slowly developing the eastern side of town,” says Will Purgason, leader of Purgason Prime Properties under eXp Realty, who owns an Airbnb in that part of the city. “It’s a good area if you’re looking for a deal on housing.” Phillips Ave is located just east of a handful of commercial areas, including the multi-use and historic Revolution Mill. Phillips Ave also sits just east of the Cone Health Moses Cone Hospital and residents have quick access to multiple childcare services. The neighborhood’s location just a few miles north of downtown Greensboro is considered convenient for both those who commute to that part of the city for work or who seek quick access to its distinct destinations. “There's also a lot of people, older couples, who basically want a townhouse-type vibe, where they’re really close to downtown and don’t have to deal with exterior maintenance of the property," Purgason says. "And also people who want to do restoration because there’s quite a bit of historic homes on that side of Greensboro.”
Some Phillips Ave homes have spacious yards.
