A gateway between downtown living and sprawling farmland
Just east of the rustic Kernersville township is a late 20th-century suburb with a few pockets of homes. The neighborhood is highly industrial, with commercial warehouses occupying the area's southern end. Homes, however, sit in cozy cul-de-sacs along rolling hills with tall trees. Filling the suburbs is a diverse housing set from the late 1980s and early 90s. The yards are more generous than in surrounding neighborhoods to the west, as Macy Grove is a gateway between downtown living and sprawling farmland. "Kernersville is where people relocate to get out of the city but still have quick access to wherever they need to go. It's the new Jamestown," says Greg Hampton, a resident of the neighborhood for 21 years who also runs his business, Alpha Fasteners, from Macy Grove. Just outside downtown Kernersville and within ten miles of Winston-Salem, Macy Grove meets convenience with quiet countryside living.
Quiet, residential streets offering acres of yard space
Macy Grove homes are predominantly ranches with small front porches and forested backyards. Many multi-level Cape Cods and farmhouse-inspired modern builds have three to four bedrooms and attached garages ranging between $175,000 and $400,000. Sitting on manicured lawns, it's not uncommon to see privacy fences bordering pools and playgrounds behind homes. A large townhouse development is at the neighborhood's northern end, with units that can be purchased for around $200,000. While most homes offer a suburban feel, some houses are found outside the more planned neighborhoods and feature a few acres. These can exceed the $600,000 price point. Sidewalks are rare in Macy Grove. However, given the neighborhood has very few through-streets, the quiet roads are frequently utilized by dog walkers, joggers, and residents enjoying an evening walk.
Surrounded by outdoor escapes filled with activities
Kernersville Mountain Bike Park begins in Macy Grove, leading bikers through the dense woods that back up to a few houses. For another athletic outlet, people visit Triad Park's sand volleyball courts, baseball diamond, soccer field and playground. The park is also home to Patriot Disc Golf Course, where the woodsy, rolling hills make for a challenging game. Just off Berry Garden Road is the Kernersville Golf Center. The driving range provides artificial and natural turf for working on one's swing, and Civitan Park is perfect for those working on their pickleball or tennis game.
Local musicians perform at the watering hole
Shopping plazas with Walmart, Target and fast-food chains surround downtown Kernersville, but for nearby drinks and entertainment, families and friends head to Gypsy Road Brewing Company. The locally-owned brewery newly opened its doors in 2018 and has since been awarded for its craft ales and lagers. The beer garden and event venue provides ample seating and space for celebrations and events, regularly hosting local musicians to showcase their music live. Greg Hampton mentioned that his friend's band had been one of the bands to perform at the brewery. Those looking to skip cooking for a night can rely on Prissy Polly's Barbecue to supply the comfort of a home-cooked meal. Inside the restaurant are several picnic tables dressed in red and white checkered tablecloths. Everything from fried chicken and classic barbecue to mashed potatoes and loaded potato salad is on the menu.
Close to downtown but busy with traffic
Salem Parkway runs along the neighborhood's southern end, and nearby ramps allow straightforward commuting to Kernersville, Winston-Salem or Greensboro. "It sometimes takes longer than it should to get around because of congestion in and around Kernersville," says Greg Hampton. "A lot of apartment buildings are popping up, adding traffic to the area." Residents rely heavily on their cars to travel to work and run errands, given there is no public transportation in town.
Nearly 50 clubs for local high school students
Winston Salem/Forsyth County School District serves the neighborhood and is the highest-rated district in the surrounding Greensboro area. Students usually begin at Kernersville Elementary School, rated a B-minus by Niche. The school has various summer activities, including physical education, arts and music. Kernersville Middle School and East Forsyth High School are where most continue learning, both receiving a rating of B. The high school features nearly 50 clubs for students to enroll in, including drama and anime clubs
