Convenient suburban pocket between Winston-Salem and Kernersville

Woodbridge overlooks the intersection of Interstate 74 and US Route 421 from its perch between Winston-Salem and Kernersville. “It’s a quiet little pocket, close to downtown Kernersville,” says Jamie Harrelson of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, a Kernersville local and Realtor with more than 30 years of experience. “Several clients have commented that they like this location because it’s right near shopping and restaurants. It’s a residential area, but there’s shopping and restaurants right at your fingertips.” She says there’s an increasing amount of new development in the area, too, likely because of the desirable location. “People just love the location. It’s shaping up to be a cute little area.”

Midcentury to modern homes

Small subdivisions are spread over Woodbridge. The quiet residential streets winding within them often end in cul-de-sacs, and feature well-maintained lawns stretching straight to the curb, uninterrupted by sidewalks. Whether they’re Traditional new builds, 1980s/’90s Colonial Revivals or midcentury ranch-style, homes often feature attached, multiple-car garages. “The homes are really cute and they have a lot of character,” says Harrelson. She adds that the neighborhood’s new construction is no exception. “They’re almost Craftsman-y; very nostalgic.” Prices run anywhere from about $275,000 to more than $600,000, a difference typically due to square footage and year built.

Amenities abound between Fourth of July Park and Salem Lake

Fourth of July Park is near the heart of downtown Kernersville, within 5 miles of most homes, and draws locals from around town for its extensive array of amenities. The 17-acre park has tennis/pickleball courts, basketball courts, an ADA-accessible playground, three large picnic shelters and walking trails. Rottweiler says Fourth of July Park is one of the most popular parks in town, especially in the summer months when it hosts all kinds of events, from pickleball tournaments to cycling clinics. A few blocks south of the park, local bookworms can pick up new reading material at the Paddison Memorial Branch Library. “The library is the main hub for the community,” says Lara Goldstein, the branch’s Adult Services Librarian. “We have well-attended book club meetings at Gypsy Road Brewing and a free gardening program.” Salem Lake, on the outskirts of Winston-Salem less than 10 miles west, offers even more opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors. The lake itself covers more than 360 acres of the park area and is surrounded by a rustic, 7-mile hiking trail. Visitors can fish for carp, crappie and bass from the pier; bait is available at the park shop. Old Kernersville Lake Park offers fishing even closer to home, off Lake Drive in the northeast corner of Woodbridge.

Finance Academy program at East Forsyth High

Kids attend Winston-Salem/Forsyth County schools, but they’re exact path through grade school varies depending on their address. Parents are advised to double-check the boundaries for each school ahead of registration. Youngsters between preschool and fifth grade typically go to either Sedge Garden or Cash Elementary, both of which earn B grades from Niche. Sedge Garden feeds into Southeast Middle, which earns a C-plus; Cash feeds into East Forsyth Middle, which earns a C. Both middle schools feed into East Forsyth High, which earns a B. The high school offers a Finance Academy to students between 10th and 12th grades. In their senior year, participating Finance Academy students take several courses at Forsyth Technical College, including International Business, Principles of Management Honors, Financial Planning and Business Law.

Kernersville Honeybee Festival, July 4th fireworks

“When I think of this community, I think of the Honeybee Festival,” says Goldstein. Rottweiler agrees, adding that the well-attended annual event takes place in Fourth of July Park. “It’s a vendor festival, with scratch-made and local stuff, concerts and kids’ activities,” says Rottweiler. The festival has been celebrated on World Honeybee Day, the third Saturday in August, since 1975 in honor of Brady Mullinax, a local beekeeper who helped make the honeybee the North Carolina state insect. Earlier in the summer, though, Goldstein says the annual Independence Day fireworks show at Raider’s Field has a large turnout, too. Residents set out blankets and fold-up chairs while local bands perform before the display begins.

At the intersection of Interstate 74 and US Route 421

Interstate 74 and US Route 421 run perpendicular to each other through Woodbridge, meeting near the neighborhood’s center. Via Route 421, the drive into Winston-Salem, about 8 miles west, can take as little as 10 minutes. Downtown Kernersville is about 6 miles east, just north of Route 421. Piedmont Triad International Airport is less than 20 miles east, a drive that takes about 25 minutes, depending on traffic. The airport offers direct, nonstop flights to 14 major US cities.

Kernersville Main Street shopping and dining

Locals can head into Kernersville proper for groceries and other everyday essentials. Along South Main Street, there are big-box retailers galore, from Lowes Foods and Harris Teeter to Target and Walmart Supercenter. There are tons of eateries scattered along the main thoroughfare, too, including familiar national chains like Cook Out and KFC. “But there are also a lot of local restaurants,” says Harrelson. She and her family frequent J. Pepper’s Southern Grille and Don Juan’s Mexican Restaurant. “Those are always favorites. And J. Pepper’s has a really nice outdoor patio.”
