Sandy Ridge
Suburban Neighborhood in High Point, North Carolina
Guilford County 27265, 27409
Midcentury ranchers and expansive, custom-built New Traditionals
The north side of the neighborhood consists of ranch-style homes strewn on one to three-acre lots between farms and forests. “There are some larger properties and lots of opportunities for custom builds,” says Bonnie Owens, real estate agent with Mantle Realty and a nearby resident of 12 years. Homes’ large front yards decorated with mature trees afford residents a great deal of privacy. Usually constructed between the 1950s and ‘90s, these builds go between $250,000 and $500,000. Most residents live on the south side of the neighborhood, which has seen a lot of growth over the past few decades, with new constructions continuing to enter the market. Most of these builds follow Colonial Revival and New Traditional designs, with steeply gabled roofs, bay driveways and front walkways lined with leafy foliage. Often spanning two stories, these larger builds tend to offer 2,300 square feet of interior space and are usually priced between $350,000 and $550,000. The average square footage of a single-family stands at 2,700, which is well above the national average of 1,900.
