Rustic-feeling suburb four miles south of Greensboro
Steeple Chase sits a few miles south of Greensboro’s beltway, next to the quiet hamlet of Pleasant Garden. Sprawling parks and horse farms encompass the area, but the community is within 5 miles of the city’s highways and shopping centers. “It’s away from the hustle and bustle of Greensboro, and the tax rate is about half of what you’d find in Greensboro or Winston-Salem since there are no city taxes,” says Chuck VanHook, owner of VanHook Real Estate Services, who has been selling homes in the Triad for 14 years. “A whole lot isn’t being bought or sold out there, because people are usually very happy with their homes.” Given the abundant greenery and the spaciousness of lots, Steeple Chase has much to offer buyers looking for a country retreat from Greensboro.
Steeple Chase is a small, slow-paced community defined by its wide-open landscape.

Steeple Chase homes grant lots of breathing room

Colonial Revivals, ranch-style homes and stately Cape Cods overlook the neighborhood’s quiet streets, joined by the occasional New Traditional.

Located less than 3 miles to the east, Hagan-Stone Park is named in honor of Anne Hagan and Joseph Stone, two prominent Greensboro conservationists. Criss-crossed by meandering, tree-covered trails, the green space spans over 400 acres and offers several primitive campsites with picnic tables, shared water, electrical outlets and a dump station.

The park also offers an aquatic center with a 21-foot-high water slide and a pool. Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe is another popular summer attraction, home to multiple water slides with varying intensities, a lazy river, a wave pool and more. The Pleasant Garden Volunteer Park features 18 holes of disc golf through flat, wooded terrain, plus a walking trail, soccer field and members-only dog park. A Different View Equine Center is on the east side of the neighborhood, a nonprofit where active-duty military, veterans, first responders and their families receive emotional support through bonding with staff, horses and other animals. Shooting Star Horse Farm provides residents with riding lessons, offering horse boarding as well.
