A mile from Lake Brandt, The Harbor is an established neighborhood immersed in the peaceful outdoors of Northern Greensboro. The suburb is a perfect spot for the outdoorsy homebuyer who still wants to be close to highly-rated schools, shopping and plenty of restaurants. Sitting next to the Greensboro Urban Loop, this centrally located suburb is in high demand.
The Greensboro Urban Loop is only a few miles south of Harbor, 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 the area is under the Harbor Homeowner’s Association, which ensures the maintenance and upkeep of properties throughout the neighborhood. Prospective buyers will find mainly contemporary colonial revivals from the 1990s. Most homes have well over 2,000 square feet and at least three bedrooms. Almost every quarter-acre property is landscaped with mature trees and colorful shrubs, and many backyards are fenced-in. While housing prices vary, price tags tend to hover around $400,000, with the full range being $212,000 to $510,000.
Students attending public school in The Harbor 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. The Harbor is also within minutes of 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.
The Harbor is within a mile of Lake Brandt, so there are ample chances to get outside and explore. The municipal reservoir was built nearly 100 years ago and was dedicated to an early Greensboro mayor, Leon Brandt. "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." Locals bring kayaks to the Lake Brandt Marina and roam the lake’s 800-plus acres. The marina offers kayak, paddleboard and canoe rentals to whoever needs them. Visitors can also enjoy the water from the sidelines and stroll the surrounding trails like the Piedmont Trail. Bikers and joggers take the woodsy path following Lake Brandt’s shoreline, which eventually meets the Atlantic and Yadkin Greenway. The Greenway is another popular pathway that stretches across the water and runs nearly eight miles. Taking the trail north will lead hikers to Bur-Mil Park.
Bur-Mil Park is only a few miles from The Harbor and is another popular spot to enjoy a day outside. Bring the family on a summer day and check out the aquatic center with a large pool and fun water equipment. There’s also a playground, golf course and piers that jut into the lake. The park hosts the annual Bur-Mil Fall Festival, which features vendors, games, music and all kinds of tasty food.
When locals want to grab snacks at the store to fuel up for a day outside, there are plenty of nearby grocery stores. One of the closest is a Food Lion, but there’s also a Trader Joe’s three miles away. Should residents want to eat out, they can dine at the nearby Blue Agave Mexican Bar and Grill.
