The quiet community of Northwest Kernersville is made up of large lots and leafy streets, much of it close to outdoor recreation, shopping and dining. “In Kernersville, even when you’re on the outskirts, you’re still a part of the community,” says local Realtor Angelique Smith of High Key Realty, who has 10 years of experience.
Homes here are newer than those in central Kernersville. “It’s mostly well-established communities from the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Smith says. New Traditionals, Colonial Revivals and farmhouses are common, as are split-levels, cottages and ranch-style homes. Many have broad, grassy front lawns shaded with longleaf pines, oaks and tulip poplars.
Townhomes and condos are available in subdivisions like Wynston Park and Windsor Manor Condominiums. Single-family homes sell for between about $140,000 and $830,000, depending on size and condition. Townhomes and condos range from under $100,000 to around $215,000. Northwest Kernersville’s median is close to $355,000, higher than the Forsyth County median of $315,000 reported by the North Carolina Realtors association.
Creeks in the area pose a minor flood risk, and Kernersville is moderately vulnerable to tornadoes and hurricanes.
Northwest Kernersville is zoned to the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, which receives a B-plus grade from Niche. Limited in- and out-of-district transfers are available by application. Students may attend Piney Grove Elementary (B-plus), Kernersville Middle (B-plus) and East Forsyth High (B). The high school offers dual-credit classes at Forsyth Tech Community College and the Academy of Finance, a STEM-infused career-prep specialty program.
Kernersville Lake Park has forested trails, a playground, a picnic shelter and several boat access points, including docks and launches. Paddle- and rowboat rentals are available, and the lake is stocked seasonally with catfish, largemouth bass and bream. Civitan Park, nearby, has a small playground, as well as basketball, pickleball and tennis courts. Abington Swim Club, known locally as Abington Pool, is a 25-meter, six-lane outdoor pool with a clubhouse. While it’s located in the Abington subdivision, membership isn’t restricted to residents. The club has a summer league swim team, offers private swim lessons, and hosts regular cookouts and movie nights.
For groceries, there’s a Food Lion on North Main Street, down the way from several auto repair shops, gas stations and discount stores. The busy commercial corridor is also home to TREX Cinema, a family-owned movie theater, a Goodwill and a Walgreens. Restaurants scattered along the corridor include Palenque Mexican Grill, Amalfi’s Pizza and Doss’, a popular old-fashioned diner and ice cream parlor. Historic downtown Kernersville, near where North Main turns into South Main Street, is filled with small businesses, boutiques, antique stores and eateries. The lively district also hosts trick-or-treating on Halloween, parades for Veterans Day and Christmas, and other seasonal events.
U.S. Route 421 connects southwest toward Winston-Salem and southeast toward Greensboro. Piedmont Triad International Airport, on the northwest side of Greensboro, is about 15 miles from most homes. Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center is roughly 6 miles from Northwest Kernersville. The hospital is a big regional employer, located near Interstate 40 on the south side of town.
