Winston-Salem suburb with easy access to the Triad

Hootstown is a suburb 5 miles southwest of downtown Winston-Salem, not far from the entertainment and business centers within the Triad. “Hootstown is close to Peters Creek Parkway, which takes you to Arcadia, Lexington and Davidson County. And to I-40, which makes going to Greensboro a quick commute,” says Sarah Katsamas, a Covo Realty Realtor with 10 years of experience. Hootstown beckons those who enjoy the activities of Winston-Salem yet value the access to nature parks a bit further from the city.

Homes and condos southwest of Winston-Salem

Townhouses, apartments and condos dominate the Hootstown market. But the well-lit, tree-lined streets also go past ranch-styles, Cape Cods and Craftsmans. Fixer-uppers range from about $100,000 to $200,000 for a two or three-bedroom, while renovated and well-maintained single-family homes are in the $250,000 to $300,000 range.

It is an accredited International Baccalaureate World School, setting the foundation in Grades 9 and 10 for IB courses taken in Grades 11 and 12. Hootstown’s faith-based options include Redeemer School, St. John’s Lutheran Day School and Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School.

Driving along Peters Creek Parkway

Those with electronic vehicles can charge their cars at a centrally located charging station. It’s right off Peters Creek Parkway, the area’s main thoroughfare, which includes shopping, dining and Planet Fitness. There are some bus stops on both sides of Hootstown, near Ebert Road to the west and along Peters Creek Parkway to the east. Hootstown is largely car-dependent, but trees provide shade for pleasant dog walks and bike rides to and from neighbors’ houses. The nearest hospital, Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, is 4 miles away. Higher education opportunities less than 4 miles away include Winston-Salem State University, Forsyth Technical Community College and Salem College. For air travel, locals drive 80 miles to Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Entertainment in downtown Winston-Salem

For entertainment, Hootstown residents typically drive a few minutes outside the community. Locals can go to “Truist Stadium to attend events during Christmas, family night at the ballpark or to see the Winston-Salem Dash play a Minor League Baseball game,” says Katsamas. Folks can also stroll around downtown Winston-Salem, which has “been renovating downtown for a while to make it more people friendly. People can spend the day walking around the arts district and going to the breweries,” says Katsamas. Local favorites include Incendiary Brewing Company, next to Baily Park, a city park that occasionally hosts midday concerts.

The great outdoors of central North Carolina

Dog-friendly Hobby Park is the ideal outdoor venue to explore any new hobbies, with its large open spaces, challenging mountain bike trails and trails for riding horses. Parkland Park offers locals use of the playground and shaded tennis courts. Golfers take advantage of the 18 holes at Heather Hills Golf Course available for public use.

Parkland Park is a great place to relax and play in Hootstown.
