Belview
Suburban Neighborhood in Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Forsyth County 27107
Modest 20th-century homes, low prices
These neat, grid-patterned streets are lined with early 1900s Minimal Traditional, Craftsman and Cape Cod cottages, as well as midcentury ranch-style homes. They’re small, too. The average Belview home size is just under 1,200 square feet—about 8,000 square feet smaller than the national average. Prices start at around $60,000 and can go up to more than $160,000, a range that is under the median for Winston-Salem, even on the upper end. Currently, there are only two active listings in Belview. One of them, a two-bedroom Craftsman built in 1930, has been on the market for more than two months. Its current list price, $259,900, is a $40,000 reduction from its original list price. Robert Cavinder of Keller Williams, a Realtor with more than a decade of local experience, says that the neighborhood’s price point is a large part of its appeal to homebuyers, many of whom are interested in starting or expanding their rental portfolios. Lagunas agrees, adding that several of the clients he’s worked with recently who are interested in this area are investors “looking for a price deal.” More than half of Belview residents are renters; just 40% of homes here are owner-occupied.

A playground and more at Belview Park
Beyond a classic playground, the neighborhood park also has a covered picnic area and a sunny, multiuse field. A gravel path stretching nearly a quarter mile connects the outdoor amenities. Belview Community Center, which sits between the playground and the grassy field, is currently under construction. The project involves building a 9,000-square-foot addition and remodeling the existing 3,600-square-foot space, including the kitchen. The last of the city’s eight original 1930s Shell Service Stations stands in Belview’s northeast corner. Now a museum for Preservation North Carolina, the historic gas station’s bright yellow, shell-shaped exterior is an iconic callback to the neighborhood’s early 20th-century origins.

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools
Konnoak Elementary earns a C-plus, and Konnoak Middle earns a C from Niche. The middle school, which used to be Philo-Hill Magnet Academy, will premier its new name and unveil its freshly renovated facility for the 2024-2025 school year. Parkland High School earns a B-minus and is the only high school in the district that offers a four-year International Baccalaureate magnet program.

Overlooking Interstates 40 and 285
Interstates 40 and 285 meet in a cloverleaf within a mile and a half of most homes. I-40 runs east-west past the neighborhood’s southern edge. I-285 runs north-south along the west side; the more than 4-mile drive north into downtown via I-285 can take less than 10 minutes, depending on traffic. Catching the bus to commute around town is easy, with Winston-Salem Transit Authority bus stops scattered along thoroughfares in and around the community, including Old Lexington Road, Thomasville Road, East Sprague Street and Waughtown Street.Eateries galore between Waughtown and East Sprague Streets
The two main thoroughfares that run through Belview’s northern half, Waughtown Street and East Sprague Street, are lined with locally owned restaurants. Among these are Cuchifrito, a Salvadoran joint, and Mexican establishments like El Rancho Taqueria and La Perlita. Kermit’s Hot Dog House, which offers classic American fare via curbside, dine-in and take-out service, has been a popular spot since Kermit Williams founded it in 1966. “He passed away in ’68 and I took it over,” says Arthur “Buster” Williams, the founder’s son and current co-owner. “We’re nothing fancy, we’ve just got real good food. Customers bring their kids and their grandkids. It’s sort of an institution.” Buster Williams himself makes what is perhaps the restaurant’s most famous menu item: a hot dog topped with pimento cheese. “A lot of people turn their noses up on it until they try it, and once they try it, they’re pretty much hooked on it,” he says. The diner expanded its hours to open for breakfast service a few years ago, adding grits, gravy, hashbrowns and biscuits to the menu, thanks to Buster’s oldest son Michael Williams, also part of the family business. For groceries, Food Lion and La Tili Supermarket are both nearby. La Providencia Supermarket is just a couple blocks west, too.
