Northwest Kernersville
Suburban Neighborhood in Kernersville, North Carolina
Forsyth County 27284
Late 20th century farmhouses and new constructions
Compared to more historic areas of Kernersville, the northwest area tends to feature slightly newer homes. “It’s mostly well-established communities from the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Smith says. National and Farmhouse-style properties from the 1980s with three bedrooms feature covered front porches and winding driveways, selling for around $250,000, while ‘90s-era Colonial Revival homes with brick facades and attached two-car garages can sell for about $350,000. Recently built subdivisions offer Modern Craftsman-style bungalows and New Traditional-style multi-story homes with steeply gabled roofs and stone exteriors for as little as $300,000; however, larger four-bedroom properties with screened-in backyard porches on large, wooded lots can sell for between $450,000 and $600,000, depending on lot size. There aren’t many available townhomes or condos in the area, although some Modern Craftsman-style single-story duplexes with attached garages are available for around $300,000.

For those looking for a spot to fish, Kernersville Lake Park features docks and boat launch points where locals can catch and release fish. Here, locals can also enjoy unpaved nature trails through the forested areas surrounding the lake and a bright blue playground for the kids. The nearby Civitan Park features basketball, pickleball, tennis courts, and a small playground.

Technology-focused education at East Forsyth Schools
Local kids may attend Cash Elementary School, rated C-plus by Niche, where they can participate in after-school activities like the Robotics Club, which teaches problem-solving and engineering skills, or the Cash News Crew, which teaches video production and public speaking skills. The C-rated East Forsyth Middle recently opened its Verizon Innovative Learning Lab, a technology-focused space within the school's media center that features 3D printers, virtual reality equipment and a maker's space. Students at the B-rated East Forsyth High can take career-focused technical courses in fields like health science, finance, graphic design and engineering. Through these courses, they can earn industry certifications or complete professional internships in their chosen field.

Community gatherings at historic sites
Community events can be found a short 5-mile drive away in Downtown Kernersville. Korner’s Folly, a local historic site, hosts seasonal celebrations for Halloween and Christmas. The Kernersville Museum also hosts seasonal events, opening a small skating rink in their historic village from late November to early January.
Accessing urban areas within the Piedmont Triad
Nearby highways like I-74 and Route 421 provide access to outlying areas within the Piedmont Triad, including Winston-Salem 10 miles west, Greensboro 23 miles east, and High Point 15 miles south. Piedmont Triad International Airport lies 19 miles east, while nearby hospitals include the Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center, about 8 miles south.Local restaurants for BBQ and Mexican
Most retail can be found further south, closer to Downtown Kernersville, although restaurants are nearby. Little Richard’s Smokehouse BBQ is a local favorite for barbeque, with four locations across the triad area, including one on the west end of Northwest Kernersville. The locally owned El Maguey Restaurant is another favorite for authentic Mexican cuisine, after which residents may choose to get dessert at Miso’s Ice Cream. Locals can head to the nearby Lowes Foods for their groceries.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
