Suburban living near two lakes
Just four miles to the east of downtown Winston-Salem, City View is a neighborhood with active residents in a quiet, suburban setting. “The pair of lakes are big for residents in the area, especially in the summer,” says Michelle Coyne of Glenwood Homes, who has been a Realtor in Winston-Salem for five years. “There are a few golf courses in the area, with Winston Lake Golf Course being right in the neighborhood, so it’s very convenient.” The two lakes are Winston Lake and Salem Lake, each offering swimming, fishing and boating opportunities. There are a few restaurants clustered around the lakes, but for extensive dining and shopping options, City View residents will need to head to downtown Winston-Salem. The homes sit on more quiet, less densely populated roads than those on the west side of town.
Quiet roads and narrow streets
City View homes have a median price point of nearly $165,000. There are some larger Craftsman homes in the area, but most of the houses are ranch-style or tri-level builds. Homes are tucked away on quiet roads without much traffic. The streets are narrow, but with private driveways, on-street parking is a non-factor. There are few sidewalks in the neighborhood, but large lawns provide a place for exercise and relief for dog owners. Streets can be dark at night as there are not many lampposts in the area.
City View is filled with cozy, bungalow style homes.
Ranch-style homes adorn the neighborhood streets of City View.

Lake Winston, Lake Salem, and golf
Locals can get a workout in at the Carl H. Russell Community Center, which features a gymnasium and fitness center. For outdoor fun, residents can head to a pair of lake parks. Salem Lake Park has a walking trail as well as a playground, but the main feature is Salem Lake, which is popular for kayaking and fishing. There’s much more to Winson Lake Park than the scenic Winston Lake. The area also has a splash pad for children and a swimming pool on site. In addition, the Winston Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course that also features a driving range.
Salem Lake is surrounded by trees at Salem Lake Park.
Kayaking and canoeing are popular pastimes at Salem Lake Park.
