Youngs Mill sits on the southeast side of Greensboro, at a comfortable distance from the bustle of downtown but also bound on three sides by major highways: Interstates 40, 85 and 840. Although many homes surrounding Youngs Mill are tucked away on large, wooded lots, this neighborhood has something closer to a suburban feel while still offering prices that are low for Greensboro. “Youngs Mill is a more developed neighborhood that’s popular with first-time homebuyers and people wanting to purchase reasonably priced houses,” says Roger Abbott, Realtor with Keller Williams Central who has been selling homes across the Piedmont Triad for 5 years. Home styles are also fairly eclectic, ranging from small ranchers to stately new traditional builds with French Country influence.
Youngs Mill is a neighborhood with many great amenities and greenspaces.

A diverse selection of homes, from small to large
Subdivisions differ across the neighborhood. Sharon Donna Drive offers spacious new traditional builds with stately brick facades, steeply sloped roofs reminiscent of French Country homes, and 2,500 to 4,000 square feet of interior space. On the other hand, the new traditional homes found in Gramercy Park West tend to have a mix of vinyl and brick siding and offer closer to 2,500 square feet of interior space, sitting on quarter-acre lots. And then there are streets like Chippendale Trail, lined with smaller ranch-style homes enmeshed in the forest. Other subdivisions have a mix of ranch-style and new traditional homes, with the occasional Colonial Revival, split-level or Cape Cod. Recently built subdivisions tend to include sidewalks. Aside from the midcentury ranchers, the neighborhood is on the newer side, with a median construction year of 2001. Detached home prices typically range from $200,000 to $600,000, depending on square footage. Townhouses are on the neighborhood's south end along Chestnut Bend Drive. They usually go for between $250,000 and $350,000.

Proximity to employers and three interstates
Youngs Mill is surrounded by three major highways on three sides. I-40 runs east and west while I-85 joins with I-840 to form a beltway loop around Greensboro. Most residents are within 3 miles of entrance and exit ramps to these three highways. Piedmont Triad International Airport is roughly 24 miles west. The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital is about an 8-mile drive northwest, with Kindred Hospital Greensboro 5 miles west for extended stays and treatment of chronically and critically ill patients. “The local Coca-Cola, Wayfair and Publix warehouses on the east side are huge employers for residents in the Youngs Mill area,” says Hannah O’Neal, the property manager at the nearby Innisbrook Village Apartments, adding that many residents move here specifically for these jobs. “The talk right now is that a Chewy warehouse is being built soon, which will add a lot of additional opportunities for employment.”
