The rural edges of Winston-Salem
Northeast Winston-Salem makes up the outer edge of city limits, as residential streets begin to turn into wooded North Carolina countryside. Straddling Interstate 74 from north to east, this area offers quiet living with easy access to the nearby cities of Kernersville and Greensboro. "There's a lot of older mid-century homes out there," says Robert Wiley, a real estate Broker with Keller Williams Realty with over 20 years of experience in the area. "And developers are building new construction anywhere they can find lots."
Ranch-style living
Newer developments tend to be closer to the main road, usually on the inner side of Interstate 74. These contemporary homes go for just over $200,000. But most properties in the area were built in the mid-1900s, primarily brick and vinyl ranch-style homes. These homes can start at $100,000 for fixer-uppers and get up to $300,000 for homes with 10 acres. Most fall around $200,000 with 1/2-acre lots. There aren't many sidewalks this far out from the city center, and backyards are bordered by undeveloped forests.

Industrial jobs and commuting options
Winston-Salem is home to various large brands and industrial businesses, many of which are located on the city's north side. The R.J. Reynolds warehouse, the Hanes corporate office, and Cook Medical manufacturers are among those businesses. "There's a lot of employment opportunities up there," Wiley says. "But people also commute — most into downtown but also out to Kernersville and Greensboro." For commuters, downtown is 10 or so miles away, often less than a twenty-minute commute. Kernersville is 15 miles away, and Greensboro is 30 miles away. The Northern Beltway project is expected to extend major roads across the northwest side of the city in the coming years, opening up the possibility for westward commutes. For longer trips, the Piedmont International Airport is on the way to Greensboro.
