Suburbia a mere 5 miles from downtown Greensboro
About 5 miles south of Greensboro’s lively city center is the calm, slow-paced residential neighborhood of Spring Valley. Home to its own scenic park and close to plenty of shopping and dining, Spring Valley offers tranquil suburbia without sacrificing access to city entertainment and amenities. "You're close to the city, but still very much in the countryside," says Claudia Valencia, a Realtor with eXp Realty. "Nowadays in Greensboro there's a lot of development, but you'll still find a lot of quiet, wooded areas like this." The neighborhood has a close-knit feel, sharing its name with a charming local eatery where neighbors go to catch up over a steaming mug of coffee and a pile of fluffy flapjacks.

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."
