Century Park/Smith Creek
A broad spectrum of styles and prices
“There are new constructions, older homes and everything in between,” says Angelique Smith, local Realtor with High Key Realty. Contemporary, Split Level and ranch-style homes from the 1970s and ‘80s start at around $200,000, but prices here can go as high as $350,000 for 1990s Colonial Revivals and more than $450,000 for Traditional-style new builds. The neighborhood is heavily shaded by towering trees, and lawns tend to be neatly landscaped and wide, often stretching all the way to the street uninterrupted by sidewalks or curbs. There are also pockets of planned developments, like Quaker Ridge off Whicker Road, where the homes are more closely spaced, with smaller lawns that are punctuated by sidewalks.

Surrounded by shopping and dining corridors
There are myriad retail and restaurant options close to home on South Main Street and North Carolina Highway 66. For groceries, head to the Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Lowes Foods or Aldi, all on South Main within a mile of most homes. There’s a Target nearby, too, as well as familiar favorite food chains like Starbucks and Crumbl Cookies. One of Rottweiler’s favorite local restaurants, J. Pepper’s Southern Grille, is on South Main, near Lowes Foods a little more than a mile north. “This is its only location,” she says, adding that the eatery is known for doing classic Southern comfort food really well. Another of her personal Kernersville favorites is Sixty Six Grill & Taphouse, on Highway 66 just 2.5 miles east. The eatery is a Triad-based chain with only three locations and features an eclectic menu with items ranging from Greek-style pita wraps to loaded nachos and spaghetti parmarosa.

Local lake; festivities at Fourth of July Park
Century Lake Park offers a sunny fishing pier and picnic tables on the banks of the small, serene lake at the center of the community. The surrounding woods shade the short, paved trail that connects the waterfront to the picnic areas, public restrooms and parking lot. A little more than 2 miles north, Fourth of July Park draws locals from around town for its extensive array of amenities. The 17-acre park has tennis/pickleball courts, basketball courts, an ADA-accessible playground, three large picnic shelters and walking trails. Rottweiler says Fourth of July Park is one of the most popular parks in town, especially in the summer months when it hosts all kinds of events, from pickleball tournaments to cycling clinics. “Kernersville is known for the Honeybee Festival, which is held at Fourth of July Park,” she says. “It’s a vendor festival, with scratch-made and local stuff, concerts and kids’ activities.” The festival has been celebrated annually since 1975 in honor of Brady Mullinax, a local beekeeper who helped make the honeybee the North Carolina state insect. Even closer to home, Korner’s Folly puts on regular vintage markets and an annual Oktoberfest celebration from the historic 19th-century mansion on South Main Street.Korner’s Folly seasonal festivities
On the other side of Route 421, locals can gather at Korner’s Folly, a historic home from the late 19th century, for seasonal community events, like their Fall Vintage Market, filled with local vendors and artisans. Their annual Oktoberfest celebration is popular among craft beer enthusiasts and features small bites from local restaurants.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Public Schools
Caleb’s Creek Elementary earns a B from Niche. Southeast Middle and Glenn High both earn C-plusses. High schoolers can participate in a variety of clubs and extracurriculars, including the National Technical Honor Society, Spanish Club and the service-oriented Interact Club, which is sponsored by the local Rotary Club chapter. The three schools are all within 5 miles of the neighborhood, south across Interstate 40.

Middle-Triad convenience
Greensboro is 20.5 miles east down Interstate 40, a drive that takes less than 25 minutes, depending on traffic. Winston-Salem is even closer; the 10-mile drive west via US Route 421 takes just 15 minutes. The Piedmont Triad International Airport is a little more than 14 miles east.
