Tucked against Oak Hollow Lake, soaking in the serenity of the bordering waters, is the peaceful High Point neighborhood, Johnson Street Park. Roughly 20 miles from both Greensboro and Winston-Salem, this suburban community is right in the middle of popular North Carolina cities, allowing residents to enjoy living on the outskirts.
Skeet Club Road runs through the neighborhood, leading commuters to Highway 68 which they can take to get to various High Point employers. Access to a vehicle is essential, as there aren't any bus stops or other forms of public transportation in the neighborhood.
Johnson Street Park has blossomed as a community since the completion of Oak Hollow Lake in 1972. Since the lake's development, the area has grown into a high-demand neighborhood with many smaller subdivisions. Ashley Park and White Fences are just a couple of the subdivisions in the area. Within these are spacious housing options from the tail-end of the 20th century. Most houses in the area sit on quarter-acre plots, while others have larger, half-acre plots. Nonetheless, homes sit close to one another, allowing residents to enjoy a laid-back, close-knit suburban lifestyle. Homes are adorned with small front porches suitable for rocking chairs and swings, allowing residents to enjoy the manicured lawns ahead of them.
Most homes in the area are two stories with multiple bedrooms and two-car garages, offering ample space for larger families. "Johnson Street Park is an up-and-coming community and is a nice place to start and raise a family," says Furman Burt, a Realtor with Realty Executives W/S. With Oak Hollow bordering the area, many residents enjoy views of the water from their very own backyards. Closely bordering the water and conveniently named, Waterview Road is bountiful in lakeside homes ranging in price from $300,000 to $500,000. Close inland, homes are priced around $350,000, sitting close to the North Carolina median. Cul-de-sacs are found around every corner, filled with cozy homes where many residents find their permanent footing. Realtor Tim Taylor, founder of Tim Taylor Realty, says that Johnson Street Park and the High Point area residents come here to put down their roots. "With very little turnover, Johnson Street Park is a great place to settle down," he says.
Students in the area can attend The Piedmont School, a private Kindergarten through 12th-grade school in the neighborhood's center. Otherwise, there are plenty of public Guilford County schools for residents. Southwest Guilford Elementary School is a B-minus Niche-rated school close to the community. Next, kids can attend Southwest Guilford Middle School, which has an overall Niche grade of B and is ranked the eleventh-best public middle school in Guilford County. Teenagers attend Southwest Guilford High School, which has an overall Niche grade of B-plus and is ranked the thirteenth-best public high school in Guilford County.
Lakeside living has its perks. Oak Hollow Lake welcomes boating and fishing and features an overlook that allows visitors to enjoy views of the water. The lake itself is part of the larger 1,500-acre Oak Hollow Lake Park. The park features a popular campground where many adventurers enjoy the outdoors. The campsite is open year-round and features bathhouses, a laundry facility and an outdoor swimming pool. Many head over to Oak Hollow Park's Golf Course for a day on the green. This 18-hole course has offered golf games amid its wavy hills of green since 1972. For continued adventures, many head to the Oak Hollow Tennis Center to swing a racquet. The tennis facility features both indoor and outdoor courts, meaning residents can play rain or shine.
For a day of shopping, many take the short five-mile trip over to Oak Hollow Square. The small shopping plaza features a Harris Teeter for grocery essentials as well as additional varieties of retail and business spots.
