Growth on the outskirts of Kernersville

Yorktown lies just south of Kernersville proper, in the heart of the Piedmont Triad. “Kernersville is a growing town, but it still has that small-town feel to it,” says Nikki Rottweiler, a Realtor with eXp Realty’s Head Realty Group, adding that though Yorktown itself is growing rapidly, too, it’s kept a lot of its rural charm. “There’s absolutely more space here than in downtown Greensboro or Winston-Salem,” she says, referring to the two larger cities flanking the area. “One of the huge benefits of it is that it’s right in between Greensboro and Winston-Salem, so what a lot of people like about it is you can move here and work there, because you can get to either one pretty quickly.”

Blending country calm with suburban amenities

Prospective buyers will find subdivisions with Split Level and ranch-style homes built between the early 1960s and late ‘90s. There are also new urbanist-style planned developments, where modern townhomes and Colonial Revival, Traditional and Craftsman-inspired new builds line wide residential streets that branch out from clubhouses with pools or Main Street-style mini business districts, like Caleb’s Creek or Walden Village. Prices start at around $200,000 and can climb as high as more than $600,000, but the median sits close to $360,000, which is on par with the median for Kernersville but above the median for both Greensboro and Winston-Salem. “People like it because it’s a little more rural, a little more country,” says Rottweiler, adding that these homes tend to have more land around them than those closer to the surrounding cities. “There’s more of a peaceful feeling to this area, outside the town limits, which is hard to find these days,” she says.

Sports fields abound

Ivey M. Redmon Sports Complex is less than 5 miles north of home and features several multiuse athletic fields, a cross-country course, baseball/softball diamonds and even a dog park. The complex hosts high school and collegiate-level cross-country events and adult softball leagues. It’s also home to the Kernersville Soccer Association, which offers youth soccer programs like the Little Kickers team and the Junior Academy and All-Star programs. The Johnson Street Sports Complex, in High Point more than 5 miles east, is a mecca for local baseball fans. There are baseball, softball and T-ball fields galore, as well as concession stands, picnic shelters and a playground.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

Between preschool and fifth grade, kids either go to Caleb’s Creek Elementary, which earns a B from Niche, or Union Cross Elementary, which earns a B-minus. Older students go to Southeast Middle and Glenn High, both of which earn C-plusses. All four schools are within 5 miles of most homes in Yorktown. Caleb’s Creek and Southeast Middle are next to each other, south of Interstate 40 on the north side of the area. Glenn High is about 4 miles south of Caleb’s Creek and Union Cross is about 2 miles farther south. Students at Glenn High School can participate in a variety of clubs and extracurriculars, from the service oriented Interact Club, sponsored by the local Rotary Club, to the Spanish Club and National Technical Honor Society.

Between Winston-Salem and Greensboro

Yorktown is at nearly the midpoint between Winston-Salem and Greensboro. The nearly 16-mile drive west to Winston-Salem can take as little as 20 minutes from here, depending on traffic, and the 20.5-mile drive east to Greensboro takes about 24 minutes. Interstate 40 runs by the north side of Yorktown. The Piedmont Triad International Airport is less than 15 miles northeast across I-40. Past the south side of the area, Interstate 74 connects Union Cross to High Point. The 10-mile drive down to High Point takes less than 20 minutes, depending on traffic.

Local farms and national chains nearby

At the Union Cross shopping center off Interstate 40 less than 6 miles north, there’s a Food Lion and an Ace Hardware, as well as a Great Clips and nail salon. There are several eateries nearby, too, including Cracker Barrel, Culver’s, Blue Naples Pizzeria of Kernersville and Hibachi of Japan. Just a mile south, across I-40, Harbor Freight Tools and Tractor Supply face each other from either side of Glenn View Drive. At Clodfelter Strawberry Farm, off North Carolina Highway 66 near the south end of Yorktown, locals can pick their own or grab a bucket of prepicked berries in-season. Less than 3 miles north, Apple Family Farm offers pick-your-own and prepicked blueberries, as well as pumpkins, apples and other fresh, seasonal fruits and veggies.
