Columbia Heights Homes for Sale

Columbia Heights in Winston-Salem is a small neighborhood with fewer than 900 residents, primarily living in Skyline Village Apartments. The area features a mix of early to mid-1900s homes, including bungalows, ranch-style houses, Cape Cods, and Craftsman constructions, many of which have been renovated or flipped by investors and owner-occupants. Bowman Gray Stadium serves as a central recreational feature, hosting stock car races every spring and summer and football games for Winston-Salem State University in the fall. The nearby Salem Creek Greenway offers a 5-mile paved trail for outdoor enthusiasts. Dining options include Mambo Café and Bar, known for its Salvadoran and Mexican cuisine with dance parties, and Kermit's Hot Dog House, a local favorite since 1966. Shopping needs can be met at Eastway Plaza, located about 2 miles north, which includes Food Lion and other retailers. While public transportation is accessible with bus stops along the industrial corridor, the neighborhood lacks sidewalks, making driving a common choice for reaching downtown Winston-Salem in under 10 minutes via U.S. Route 52. The local schools, such as Parkland High School, offer a range of educational opportunities, including an International Baccalaureate curriculum. Columbia Heights provides a blend of historic charm and practical amenities, making it a unique part of Winston-Salem.
