Homes from the 60's and 70's with Beautiful Mature Trees, Large Lots, and Popular Schools

Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Winston Salem NC

The Sherwood Forest neighborhood was initially farm land outside Winston Salem. Sherwood Forest was developed at the middle of the century as Winston Salem's booming tobacco and textile businesses flourished and pushed residential developments west past the neighborhoods of Buena Vista and Ardmore. At one point Sherwood Forest was home to a local racetrack! In the 1980's through the 2000's more homes were built on the north side of Peacehaven Rd in a collection of developments referred to as New Sherwood Forest giving Sherwood Forest the nickname by many locals "Old Sherwood Forest." 

Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Homes

The Sherwood Forest Neighborhood was started in 1960's and is comprised of homes built between the 1950’s and 1970’s. The typical home in Sherwood Forest is a brick single-story ranch home ranging from 1600-3000+sqft with 3-5 bedrooms. Other home styles are often found in Sherwood Forest including: Traditional, Mid-Century Modern, Tudor, Split-Level, Split Foyer, and Contemporary. Many Sherwood Forest homes are built with a basement, but crawlspaces and slab foundations are common due to the rolling piedmont topography.
