Peaceful Piedmont Triangle living

Life is still over in Kerners Mill. Just over 10 miles east of downtown Winston-Salem and 20 miles west of Greensboro, this quaint residential community offers the peace and stillness of a rural enclave while sitting adjacent to the charming downtown Kernersville area and the rest of the Piedmont Triad. With the steady trickle of its central creek and the serene feel of nearby lakes, residents embrace the natural world that surrounds them. “There are lots of new, higher-end subdivisions, but also plenty of smaller single-family homes and townhomes popping up,” says Lisa Pfefferkorn, a broker with Coldwell Banker Advantage who lives and works in Kernersville. “The YMCA is right there, as is Olympic restaurant, as well as John Deere and Forth of July Park.”

Housing in Kerners Mill

The housing stock of Kerners Mill is diverse. Your choices range from 1,500-square-foot ranch-style homes from the 1970s to much newer, larger, stately homes from the early 21st century. The smaller houses are often valued between $250,000 and $350,000. While price tags for these larger new traditional homes are between $400,000 and $500,000, they often feature over a half-acre of land with 3,000 square feet of room. Demand for housing is high, and houses are beginning to spend less time on the market. Homes typically last about three weeks before being snagged for closing. “There’s a lot of growth here and in Kernersville in general,” says Realtor Amy Klutz of Keller Williams Central. “There are lots of budding families and young working professionals starting their lives.”

Water and land recreation

Many enjoy having Old Kernersville Lake Park in their backyard for a peaceful escape. The small, five-acre lake is tucked away from busy roads and snugged into a woodsy setting. Locals can bring their fishing poles and enjoy catch-and-release fishing or sit on the water-side benches and catch a glimpse of the passing ducks. While this pond is more of a hidden gem, Lake Kernersville Park is just a few miles north and provides a much larger and more well-known lake for further adventure. Many have caught impressive catfish and largemouth bass amid their fishing escapades. You can also take a pedal boat out on the water, grill some burgers or check out the nature trails. A short walk away is the Kernersville YMCA, which has a long list of amenities and programs suitable for all family members. The YMCA offers personal training, boot camps, health programs and group exercise classes. Locals can also join a sports league or take some swim lessons at the aquatic center.

Community gatherings

A major perk of living in Kerners Mill is having Fourth of July Park within walking distance. Kernersville’s most notable event is the annual Honeybee Festival. The festival takes place on World Honeybee Day, the third Saturday in August, and celebrates the Honeybee’s recognition as North Carolina’s official state insect. Nearly 100 vendors gather at the park to sell all sorts of food and handcrafted goods. Festival attendees shop and listen to live music while the kids can enjoy an array of activities arranged for them. Befitting its name, the park also hosts an annual fireworks display during the Fourth of July. Outside of hosting events, the park is rich with amenities for locals to enjoy on a typical day. Stretching a vast 17 acres, visitors can do some tricks at the skate park, play a round on the tennis courts or take the kids to Forsyth Country’s first accessible playground.
