Sought-after community among the trees in western Winston-Salem
Hidden among tall, mature trees, Huntscroft-New Forestdale is a quiet suburban enclave offering respite from the busy streets of Downtown Winston-Salem. “It’s a desirable neighborhood with a tight-knit community—one of the most popular neighborhoods year after year," says Josh Loew, a Realtor with Leonard Ryden Burr Real Estate. “Neighbors look out for each other; if you’re sick, they’ll bring you soup,” says Loew, who's lived in the Winston-Salem area for over 25 years. “Here, you’re within a couple of miles of all the conveniences you’d expect in a city.” Retailers sit just outside the neighborhood; downtown is about 6 1/2 miles east and the lush campus of Wake Forest University is even closer. “A lot of executives, teachers and coaches live over there,” says Tina Whiteheart, a longtime Winston-Salem resident and Realtor with Park Place Real Estate. “It’s the housing developments with nice homes, the school districts and the land.” The neighborhood also has a CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.

Huntscroft-New Forestdale’s quiet neighborhood streets are wide and adorned with vintage streetlights. Tall shade trees dot spacious lots of nearly ½ acre.
