Small neighborhood less than 5 miles from Downtown Winston-Salem
As Interstate 40 meets I-285 in Winston-Salem, they wrap around the small neighborhood of South Park. Named after the city park in its center, South Park draws in buyers for its highway access, lower-than-average home prices and convenient location. “It’s just on the outskirts of downtown,” says Emily Phipps, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for 19 years. “It’s ideal for first-time home buyers or potentially someone who wants to downsize. You get some land, too. A quarter-acre is about the norm.” Like many South Winston-Salem communities, South Park has experienced economic challenges. The median household income here is $27,619, significantly below the national average of $70,961.

Ranch-style homes and Craftsman bungalows on spacious lots
South Park’s wide streets form a grid, often climbing up and over steep hills. Homes primarily built from the 1950s to the present have about 1,000 square feet of living space. Ranch-style homes and Craftsman bungalows are most common, sharing blocks with cottages and a few Colonial Revivals. Front yards are spacious and minimally adorned with flowering shrubs and mature shade trees. Most properties have short driveways that lead into carports or attached garages. Prices typically fall between $100,000 to $275,000. Phipps says the market moves quickly in South Park due to low inventory. “On average, things are selling within a few days if they show well and are priced appropriately.” The neighborhood receives a CAP Index crime score of 6 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. However, South Park has a higher-than-average risk for violent crime.
Homes in South park range in styles but many are ranches.
On the main roads in South Park you can find brick ranches set back off the street.

Dinosaurs at Washington Park and a sandy beach at Salem Creek
South Park’s namesake green space sits in the heart of the neighborhood next to Main Street Academy. While compact, it offers a baseball diamond and an open space to play. The 75-acre Washington Park, about 3 miles away, is a popular spot for families featuring a playground with life-sized dinosaurs, several baseball fields and a dog park. The Salem Creek Greenway passes through the park, providing a shady route through the forest to Gateway Nature Preserve. The 19-acre haven for wildlife and native plants features a pollinator garden, hiking trails and a small sandy beach along Salem Creek. Towering trees shade Southside Branch Library, which hosts book clubs, children’s programs and ESL classes. It also has a collection of children’s books in Braille, a unique resource for the community.
