High Point Lakeside community with a laid-back lifestyle

With panoramic views of Oak Hollow Lake and plenty of local shopping, the northern High Point suburb of Deep River is known for its active lifestyle and neighborly vibes. “People there do this thing called ‘curbing,’” says Scott Moore, Realtor for Graymac Realty, who lived in the community for multiple years. “They pull chairs out to the edge of the street and chat while the kids play. It’s a fun, cute thing they do a lot.” Streets here are lined with pine trees and mostly lead out to narrow, one-way roads; the neighborhood’s eastern border connects to NC Highway 68, though, providing easy access to the Palladium Shopping Center and locally owned restaurants. People settle down here for the proximity to downtown Greensboro 9 miles south and higher -rated Guilford County schools, and residents love gathering at nearby lakeside parks for seasonal events on and off the water.

New and old housing communities in Deep River

Deep River is mostly made up of small communities of single-family homes, both established and new. In wooded subdivisions like Oak Hollow Estates and Whites Mill, late 20th-century homes — either ranch style or two-story New Traditional — sit along well-paved, sidewalk-less streets, averaging around $320,000. Closer to Oak Hollow Lake, late ‘90s Colonial Revival and Tudor-inspired properties with up to five bedrooms typically range between $450,000 and $700,000; set along longleaf pine-shaded cul-de-sacs, within walking distance of the water, these homes sit on quarter-acre lots and feature swings on their open front porches. Closer to the neighborhood’s center, on streets laid out on a grid, New Traditional homes from the 2020s cost upwards of $500,000, plus monthly HOA fees of around $50.

Fun at Oak Hollow Festival Lake Park

Every July since 1973, the neighborhood has celebrated the Fourth with the Uncle Sam Jam at Oak Hollow Festival Lake Park 3 miles south of the neighborhood; residents jam out to live musical performances, snack on food from local vendors, and lay down blankets on the grassy lawn near the lake to watch fireworks light up the sky. About 6 miles from the area, the massive High Point City Lake Park hosts WinterFest each December, with bounce houses, photos with Santa and rides on a light-strung miniature train. For some local culture, residents can head to the High Point Theatre in downtown Greensboro to catch concerts and plays.

Award-winning schools for Deep River students

Kids here can start school at Southwest Elementary, which is rated an A by Niche, and continue to Southwest Middle, which scores a B. The B-plus-rated Southwest High is known for its unique disciplinary approach called “Restoration Station” where instead of keeping students in a separate room for in-school suspension, they meet with faculty members to reflect on the incident and how to be better. With this new approach to conflict resolution, Southwest High was awarded the 2022 Guilford County Hubert B. Humphrey Award, a distinction that recognizes the most improved schools in the county.

Youth programs at Deep River Recreation Center and access to Oak Hollow Lake

Deep River Recreation Center , located a mile north of the neighborhood, features basketball courts, baseball fields and playgrounds for toddlers and older kids; throughout the year, parents can enlist their children in after-school programs, and in summer, adults can sign up for indoor cricket matches and basketball leagues. The 800-acre Oak Hollow Lake hugs the neighborhood’s western border, making it easy for residents to fish near the sandy shore, or launch sailboats and kayaks from the Oak Hollow Marina; the Oak Hollow Sailing Club here holds monthly regattas where folks race each other in their brightly colored boats. Some locals trek a few miles west of the neighborhood to practice their swing at the public 18-hole Oak Hollow Golf Course.

Commuting in Deep River

Residents can directly access NC-68 along the eastern border of the neighborhood to connect to Interstate 40 about 4 miles north. Downtown High Point is roughly 9 miles south of the neighborhood via Interstate 74, and Greensboro is a 12-mile drive east via Wendover Avenue. Since High Point Transit buses don’t stop in Deep River, most people drive to get around, and Moore says traffic can get heavy near NC-68 on the eastern border and along Skeet Club Road. The North Carolina Department of Transportation plans to widen over four miles of Johnson Street, which connects to Skeet Club and Interstate 40, reducing congestion near Deep River. Cone Health MedCenter is roughly 3 miles north of the neighborhood, and Piedmont Triad International Airport is an 11-mile drive via NC-68.
