County calm combined with suburban convenience
More than 7 miles southwest of downtown Winston-Salem, the peaceful lifestyle in Caroline Village-Janita Lakes appeals to more than just the neighborhood’s human residents. “There’s lots of wildlife. It’s got beautiful trees and windy roads—it just doesn’t feel like you’re in town,” says Keller Williams Realtor Brianna Funte, a Piedmont Triad area local. On humid summer evenings, the air vibrates with the cacophony of cicadas and frogs hiding in the underbrush between oak and pine trees. “It’s very serene, you can really hear the wildlife. And when you’re driving through, you have to watch out for families of geese crossing the street all the time,” says Funte. Despite its rural atmosphere, she adds that the area is still very much suburban. “You’re within city limits, close to Hanes Mall, shopping and restaurants. But the lots are large and you’re not quite right up on top of your neighbors, so it doesn’t feel like it’s in the city.”
An oasis with myriad housing options
COVO Realtor Sarah Katsamas, who’s been a Winston-Salem local for more than 30 years, says that pockets of this neighborhood are quite new. "And by new, I mean from the early 2000s." Funte agrees. One of her recent listings was built in 2007. “It’s a lot newer than the homes in the surrounding area,” she says. 1920s Minimal Traditional cottages and midcentury brick ranch-style homes fill out the rest of the neighborhood, alongside the occasional 1990s apartment or condominium complex. Prices for Caroline Village-Janita Lakes’s single-family homes start at around $175,000 and can climb to $300,000. On average, they go under contract in less than 25 days. That’s more than 20 days faster than the national average days-on-market. Funte says that homes on the private lakes hidden throughout the community sell even faster. “There’s a series of lakes around here, which owners can use for fishing if they stock them, or kayaking. And they all drain into each other, so as long as you keep your drain clear and free, you don’t have to worry about flooding.”

Hobby Park and Heather Hills Golf Course nearby
Less than 3 miles west of home, Hobby Park offers a laundry list of amenities, including a reservable picnic shelter with seating for more than a hundred people and a catch-and-release-style fishing pond. There’s a soap box derby track, a paved and striped downhill strip where miniature car builders can race their creations. “We’ve also held slalom skateboard events there, including the U.S. national championships,” says Bobby Hege, the Lakes & Special Use Facilities Supervisor with the Winston-Salem Recreation & Parks department. But he says the heaviest traffic in the park is on the wooded trails, which draw mountain bikers and cross-country runners from around town. “We have a bicycle race through the woods every year, along with a running race,” he says, referring to the annual Racing in the Woods biking event and regular Hobby Trails footraces. The 18-hole Heather Hills Golf Course is a little more than 2 miles north of Hobby Park, off Ebert Road.

Between three major business corridors
"The majority of the residents do their shopping at Hanes Mall Boulevard and Stratford Road," says Katsamas. The two business corridors are about 4 miles northwest of Caroline Village-Janita Lakes, and feature big-box staples like Costco, Sam’s Club and Academy Sports & Outdoors. Hanes Mall, the city’s only indoor mall, anchors the north end of the district. And just 2 miles east of home, Peters Creek Parkway is lined with a smattering of nationally recognized retail and restaurant chains, too, from Walmart Supercenter and Lidl to Chick-fil-A and Subway. “Winston is growing farther south, so a lot of those places are newer,” says Funte.
