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.
East of Kernersville lies Macy Grove, a 20th-century suburb with cul-de-sacs and charm.

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.

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.
