Small-town historic feel meets commercial growth 20 miles from Greensboro
A small-town feel intertwines with a rich history in Mayodan, North Carolina. Once a bustling mill town, the hamlet gets its name from its location at the junction of the Mayo River and the Dan River. While the mills of the 19th century have since evolved — the town is still home to yarn manufacturer McMichael Mills and apparel company Gildan — the community celebrates its industrial roots and continues to make strides in modernizing. “Textile and tobacco production have gone down now, but there is a resurgence of developers adding to the sprawl happening on the Route 220 corridor on the town’s outskirts,” says local Realtor Phillip Stone, owner of A New Dawn Realty, adding that Mayodan is split into a commercial area and a residential area. A grid of roadways comprises the town’s residential portion: numbered avenues run perpendicularly to presidentially named streets like Washington and Jefferson. “Mayodan is a golf cart community, meaning that if you have a golf cart, you can cruise around on the avenues within the town limits,” he says. “It feels more like a large subdivision with old mill homes from the 20s to the 40s.” Retailers like Walmart and Lowe's have spurred growth in the commercial corridor at the intersection of U.S. Highway 311 and Route 220, and revitalization in the neighboring town of Madison has also boosted the uptick in activity. This blend of small-town charm with proximity to modern-day conveniences continues to appeal to homebuyers. “You’ve got the quiet and peacefulness of a small town, but with easy access to larger city amenities,” Phillip says. “You’re not directly in the hustle and bustle, but it remains a big draw.”
Varied mix of homes, from 1920s to new builds
Mayodan’s network of gridded streets holds a varied housing stock. Small ranch-style homes, farmhouse-inspired cottages and bungalows built between the 1920s and 1940s reflect the town’s milling history. Colonial Revival and Cape Cod homes are also common among the mix. New construction typically takes on more modern influences and features updated appliances and layouts. Established single-family homes typically list between $100,000 and $330,000, while new builds may start around $240,000. Parcels of land are also available for purchase, usually on the outskirts of the town.

Local dining stalwarts to big-box retailers
A few shops and eateries cluster at the North 2nd Avenue and West Main Street intersection, centered around the Mayodan Town Hall and police station. Residents can get a specialty coffee at The Mad Bean café before rifling through antiques and collectibles at Possum Town Pickers next door. Other staples include Beach House Grill and ChaCha’s Place, which is popular for brunch. A Food Lion is located further south off South 2nd Street, and locals may head into the revitalized downtown district of Madison for additional local businesses and restaurants. West of the neighborhood — in what Stone calls the commercial portion of Mayodan at the junction of Highway 311 and Route 220 — sit Walmart, Lowe’s and the plants of Gildan and McMichael Mills. Additional stores and fast-casual chains in the shopping corridor include Subway, McDonald’s and Verizon.
River recreation in and along the Dan and Mayo Rivers
Both the Mayo River and the Dan River are sources of outdoor recreation in the area. Mayo River State Park provides access to the Mayo River, while Madison River Park sits along the Dan River. Both parks are equipped with boat launches for kayaking and canoeing. Anglers perch along the riverbank to catch fish, swimmers take a plunge into the water and others enjoy the view from hammocks, benches and picnic areas. Stone says tubing has been a popular and fun activity for the towns: “A lot of people come into the area to tube the rivers,” he says. The centrally located Elliot Duncan Park provides a playground and open space, and the nearby Farris Memorial Park is a recreational hub known for its walking and biking trails and multiple ball fields and courts.

These include a VEX robotics team, Air Force JROTC and the Academic Challenge Team, which has won several county championships.

Mayodan and Madison events celebrate the community
Though Mayodan and the neighboring community of Madison are distinct towns, their communities intermingle, especially when it comes to events and festivals. “I personally say the Madison-Mayodan area because they’re two separate towns, but you can go from one to the other without thinking you’ve crossed over,” Stone says. “Events are attended by similar crowds since they’re both so interchangeable.” The Spring into Madison Festival every April and Fall for Madison Festival every autumn celebrate the overall community with local vendors, artisans, restaurants and entertainment. Hay bales also make a prominent splash for both fests. “Mayodan will decorate large hay bales as part of the festivals,” Stone says. “Local businesses will decorate them and then the bales are judged for the art and creativity.”
You can enjoy amazing food trucks, entertainment and shopping at the Spring into Madison event less than 10 minutes from Mayodan.

Access to major thoroughfares
Stone emphasizes that Mayodan’s proximity to the larger metro area is also a draw for homebuyers, especially the convenient access to major thoroughfares like Interstate 73 and Route 220. “One of the largest things helping the area is upgrades to I-73 and the roads out of Greensboro,” he says. “It’s a driver of why people are moving here, because it greatly cuts down on commute times.”
