West Greensboro neighborhood developed with lakeside recreation in mind
Built around three lakes in the 1950s, Sedgefield Lakes offers the peace and quiet of a waterside vacation destination while being less than 3 miles from one of Greensboro’s major shopping centers. "It's in an interesting sort of spot because a lot of people in Greensboro don't even know about it," says Realtor Brittany Cecil, who’s been with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Yost & Little Realty for 14 years. " While it's very secluded, it's also in a convenient location. It's a Greensboro address, but you can be in Jamestown and High Point in a matter of 10 minutes." Renters outnumber homeowners here, but dense woods hug the neighborhood’s large apartment complexes along Hilltop Road.
Sedgefield Lakes is located to the south of Interstate 40.

Midcentury homes with views of Sedgefield Lake
Sedgefield Lakes homes are primarily from the 1950s through the late 1970s. Most are ranch-style, but split-levels, Cape Cods and contemporary designs are mixed in. These properties rest along and off Woodlyn Way, a narrow, winding two-lane road looping around the neighborhood’s three lakes. Living space is roomy, averaging over 2,100 square feet, compared to the national average of 1,928 square feet. Yards are also spacious, often over an acre, and surrounded by towering trees. Homes sit back from the street with manicured front lawns decorated with garden beds and leafy shrubs. Some properties come with lake views, while waterfront homes feature private docks. "The lake is a nice aspect of the neighborhood. My in-laws live on the lake, so we use it all the time," Cecil says. Most homes cost between $275,000 and $450,000.
Sedgefield Lakes has a voluntary neighborhood association called SELCO. Homeowners have to opt into the organization if they want to use community amenities like the lakes, tennis courts and the playground. While the lakes don’t pose a flood risk, FEMA flood maps indicate that some properties along Bull Run sit in a special flood hazard area. Also, properties that back up to Interstate 73 can have highway noise.

Lakeside recreation in the neighborhood, Griffin Community Park nearby
Recreation here centers around the neighborhood’s namesake lake. It’s steps away for a quiet morning of fishing or a thrilling afternoon of tubing, water skiing and swimming. Members of SELCO get access to the community beach, where they can sunbathe, host a picnic in the shelter and reserve the lakeside tennis and pickleball courts. Tucked in the woods off Hilltop Road, Marylene F. Griffin Community Park and Recreation Center sits less than two miles away for workouts and trips to the dog park. Long hikes in the woods can start at the 200-acre Gibson Park, roughly 5 miles west. The park has an entrance to the Bicentennial Greenway, which flows south through the forest for miles, passing through regional recreation destinations such as Jamestown Park and High Point Lake. Sedgefield Country Club is nearby, featuring an 18-hole Donald Ross golf course that hosts the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship each August.

Held in early December at Selco Beach, families watch their neighbors pass by in boats decorated for the season while sipping hot chocolate and enjoying holiday tunes.
Shopping for everyday essentials at Wendover Place
Sedgefield Lakes may be a quiet community, but it rests less than 3 miles south of the bustling Wendover Place shopping center. “It’s super busy,” says Angela Moran, a Realtor with United Realty Group who’s lived in the Greensboro area since 2010. “It’s along the car dealership, Costco, Rooms to Go strip. It’s where you can find all of the big box stores. You’ve got your Target, Marshalls and Kohl’s.” Local restaurants mix with chains in this retail corridor. La Fiesta Mexican Restaurant, serving Greensboro since 1993, is the no-frills spot for authentic cuisine, from enchiladas supreme to pollo con crema. Longtime staple Elizabeth’s Pizza serves classic pies and Italian favorites like Chicken Parmigiana. Several grocery stores, including Lowes Foods and Harris Teeter, are in the area. Four Seasons Town Centre is about a 4-mile drive east for name-brand and department store shopping.

It offers ACES, an after-school program where students learn about 10 different states throughout the year and participate in STEAM-related activities as well as service projects. Jamestown Middle receives a B-minus. The school features a house system designed to connect students across grade levels and develop a sense of camaraderie.

Quick access to Interstate 40, North Carolina’s mountain-to-sea route
Several highways and main roads are just outside the neighborhood, making for straightforward commutes into Downtown Greensboro, about 8 ½ miles away. “You’re right off I-73, which gives you easy access to go down to Raleigh or cut over to Charlotte. Also, you’re right off I-40, which goes from the coast to the mountains,” Moran says. The Greensboro Urban Loop is close by to catch flights at Piedmont Triad International Airport. While no Greensboro Transit Agency buses pass through the neighborhood, stops are available in Wendover Place.
