The Meadows benefits from recreation and highway access

The Meadows is a compact neighborhood in northern Greensboro where trees buffer streets and cul-de-sacs of homes from the interstate that runs alongside the community. That interstate, part of the Greensboro Urban Loop that encircles the city, adds a degree of practicality to the suburban community. Residents of The Meadows benefit from the community’s location between Lake Jeanette and Country Park, two major recreation hubs.

Traditional suburban home styles on manicured lots

Housing in The Meadows resembles that of a classic American suburb. Mowed lawns, cozy back patios and picket fences embellish small lots. Colonial Revival and ranch-style homes built in the 1990s stand on these properties. Recently sold homes have fetched prices from the upper $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. Residents pay homeowners association dues that are less than $100 per month.

Country Park has 400 acres for play and relaxation

The neighborhood is just over a mile from the tree-lined shores of Lake Jeanette, a private body of water. If you join the Lake Jeanette Swim & Tennis Club, you can use the club's lakeside marina, in addition to the pools and tennis courts. Four hundred acres of public green space are 2 miles away at Country Park. Mountain bike trails and walking paths surround two stocked fishing lakes, where you can rent pedal boats and set out on the water. The park neighbors the Greensboro Science Center, home to interactive exhibits, live animals and a zipline.

Highly rated public and private schools children can attend

Schools in the Guilford County Schools system that students can go to include the highly rated Page High School, which gets a B-plus rating from Niche. Families interested in private schools may look at Greensboro Day School, 2 miles away. The school for kindergartners through 12th graders earns an A-plus rating and integrates STEAM concepts, such as 3D printing and coding, into the curriculum.

Places to eat and shop on Battleground Avenue

The Meadows sits between two of northern Greensboro's shopping and dining districts: Battleground Avenue and North Elm Village. Along Battleground Avenue, shopping centers have national retail chains, such as Trader Joe's and Walmart, as well as small businesses, including:

  • Cozy Brew Cafe, a stop for espresso and brunch food
  • Craft City, a taproom and bottle shop for craft beer enthusiasts
  • Giacomo's Italian Market, where you can get subs, cheeses, sausage and more
  • Nerdbombers, a toy store that buys and sells collectibles

North Elm Village is a shopping center designed with a walkable layout. It's anchored by Harris Teeter supermarket, and other tenants include Clubhouse, a sports bar with golf simulators.

Quick access to the Greensboro Urban Loop

The Greensboro Urban Loop passes by the neighborhood, so residents can quickly hop on to travel around the city. A line of hardwood trees helps dampen the roar of highway vehicles, says Wayne Young, a broker with Allen Tate Realtors. “There’s enough buffer that you hear it a little bit, but it’s not that impactful." The 6-mile drive to Downtown Greensboro usually takes less than 20 minutes. You can walk to the neighboring Woodridge community to catch a bus downtown.
