Wallburg’s proximity to three cities a plus for commuters

In the 1880s, the lumber company that anchored the community of Wallburg prospered from shipping planks and slats to furniture makers and textile mills in the surrounding cities. Sawmills no longer whirl in Wallburg, and its location within 25 miles of Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point now appeals to commuters rather than lumber tycoons. “A family could have a residence here, and one spouse could work in Winston-Salem and one spouse could work in Greensboro,” says Mark Swaim, Wallburg’s town manager and a lifelong resident. People have referred to the area as Wallburg for more than 100 years, but it didn’t become a town until 2004. New homes are rising across the community, which has transitioned from a rural outpost to a bedroom community for the trio of North Carolina cities known as the Triad.

Wallburg is a peaceful, family‑oriented town that combines small‑town charm with easy access to three nearby Triad cities.

Farmland cleared for the construction of new homes

Builders are active in Wallburg, where more than 100 homes have been constructed since 2020. Family farms once covered the landscape, but recent generations who didn’t want to go into the family business sold the land to developers. Residents may still pass the occasional farm while driving around, but they’re more likely to see subdivisions of newly built New Traditional homes or dirt tracts cleared for construction. There are also Colonial Revivals and Victorians built more than a century ago in the center of town; they include the George W. Wall House & Museum, a Queen Anne house built by the co-founder of the local lumber business. Homes built before 2000 typically cost between $225,000 and $485,000, while newer houses have recently sold for as much as $765,000.

Wallburg’s CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

New pickleball courts adding to town’s recreational activities

Wallburg sits between two golf courses open to the public: Olde Homeplace Golf Club and Meadowlands Golf Club. Professional golfer Hale Irwin designed the latter course. The Wallburg Athletic Association uses a group of fields in town for youth sports, including football, softball and cheerleading. The nearby Wallburg Recreation Center has an outdoor pool for members. Less than a mile from the athletic association, the town installed four new pickleball courts. They’re set to open before September 2025, Swaim says. Across the street from a cornfield, there’s a playground at Town Park.

Wallburg’s new pickleball courts have quickly emerged as a popular community destination.

Coffee and shaved ice at the historic George W. Wall House

With its white and black exterior and wraparound porch, the George W. Wall House is a landmark for the community. The 1896 home is now a museum, open a few days a week for tours. The town also hosts monthly social gatherings there, with a local coffee truck serving complimentary cups. In the summer months, an Italian ice truck pulls up instead.

Retail, cuisine and community along highway 109

A handful of local eateries are spread out along North Carolina Highway 109. People can pull off the road for comfort food from The Wallburg Diner, where the sign out front reads “My favorite essential oil is bacon grease,” or grab dessert at Cupcake Cuties Cafe & Bakery. What’s not made in-house at the bakery is sourced within North Carolina, whether it’s milk from a creamery in Julian or coffee beans from a roastery in High Point. Wallburg Baptist Church gathers in a stone and brick building off the highway. Members of the 130-year-old congregation run a food pantry from the church once a month, giving out food, cleaning supplies and baby products. The highway continues to a shopping center with a Food Lion and CVS. About 5 miles from Wallburg, Walmart, The Home Depot and other big-box stores are clustered in High Point.
