Spring Valley
Suburban Neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina
Guilford County 27406
Midcentury brick houses surrounded by trees
Red-brick midcentury homes dominate the community, with nearly every home being ranch-style or split-level. The majority of these houses date back to the 1960s, giving the area a kitschy charm. Prices range from $130,000 to $280,000, and homes feature between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet, with an average of three bedrooms. Towering trees shade the quarter-acre lots, sprinkling the entire area with crunchy leaves of crimson, orange and gold in the fall months.Plenty to do at the namesake Spring Valley Park
Spring Valley Park lines the southern edge of the neighborhood. Sitting off Meadowview Road, the park is a woodsy green space with the South Buffalo Creek running down the center. At the heart of the park is a small playground and a multi-purpose court where residents can bring a ball and play with friends and neighbors. Hillsdale Park is a mile west of the community and down Meadowview Road. The nearly 50-acre park features a paved walking trail that provides leisurely strolls and an additional playground. Across the highway from Hillsdale Park is Rolling Roads Park. Its manicured lawns afford plenty of space for a picnic, or some outdoor exercise. Hiking and biking are both popular pastimes in the area, according to Terrie Booker, a Realtor at Wilson Realty Co. "It's a big community of cyclers we have here," says Booker, "a very active community."A plethora of extracurriculars at Smith High

Interstate 40 runs along the southern edge of the neighborhood, providing quick access to Greensboro, with all its employers and attractions. Access to a vehicle is a must, as there are no bus stops in or near the neighborhood.Dinner and a movie at The Four Seasons Town Centre
The Four Seasons Town Centre is a mere 2 miles west of Spring Valley, providing retail shopping and entertainment. The center features traditional mall favorites from American Eagle to Dillard’s, with a food court as its focal point. Attached to the mall is Round1 Bowling & Amusement, which features karaoke, arcade games, ping pong and bowling. Meanwhile, the latest blockbusters screen at AmStar Cinemas. For a quick meal, Sub Station II is a popular eatery known for its subs and gyros. For local country-style homecooked meals, residents flock to the neighborhood diner — Spring Valley Restaurant. There, patrons can choose from classic staples such as flapjacks, fried chicken and biscuits, all washed down with a strong cup of joe.
