Middle Fork is a steadily growing suburb outside Winston-Salem
Middle Fork is a far northeast suburb of Winston-Salem, about 6 miles from the city’s downtown district. The neighborhood is predominantly residential, with a few minor industrial areas. Although many of the homes here were built during the mid-to-late 19th century, newer builds come on the market at a steady pace as part of subdivision construction projects. Relatively affordable home prices draw many people to Middle Fork; the neighborhood has an average housing cost of $210,000, which is notably lower compared to the Winston-Salem metro area’s average of $300,000. Route 311 and Interstate 74, also known as the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway, border the neighborhood, making commuting downtown simple.
Middle Fork has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 5 out of 10, slightly higher than the national average of 4.
New construction and midcentury homes from $220,000 to $320,000

Proximity to shopping centers and popular local restaurants
Although Middle Fork itself lacks commercial amenities, residents are a short drive from everyday shopping and dining options. The North Side Shopping Center is just off Route 52, only 3 miles away from the neighborhood, and has a Food Lion grocery store and other retail establishments like Citi Trends, a clothing store, and Roses Express, which sells discount items. Lining Akron Drive across from the shopping center are several fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and Cook Out. Restaurants closer to Middle Fork include Taste of the Triad and Pulliams, a popular local spot for barbecue and hot dogs that first opened in 1910.
Residents rely on cars for everyday travel
Middle Fork is a heavily car-dependent community due to its suburban nature. Commuters can quickly hop onto major thoroughfares like Interstate 74 and Route 311, with access to Route 52 only a couple of miles away. Route 311 takes drivers into the heart of the city and Downtown Winston-Salem, about 6 miles southwest of Middle Fork. There are no public transit options serving the neighborhood. Smith Reynolds Airport supports general aviation and is located within a mile of the suburb, but hardly impacts noise levels. The nearest commercial airport is Piedmont Triad International Airport, roughly 23 miles away. The Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist general hospital—which has a 24-hour emergency department—is 8 miles from the neighborhood.
