Share Guide

Beautifully-restored older homes fill the West End neighborhood of Winston-Salem, with enough apartment buildings to provide an affordable mix of housing choices. Specifically designed in the 1890s to take advantage of the neighborhood's natural hills, the curving streets of West End ensure that today's residents can enjoy the lovely terracing and gentle climb as much as the local dwellers before them.

This highly walkable neighborhood features art galleries, outdoor cafes, bars, funky antique shops, and restaurants galore. Locals recommend stopping in at Bernardin's or the Fourth Street Filling Station before heading back out to stroll under the old-growth shade trees. Peek inside some of the historic homes during holiday home tours, or join neighbors for baseball or holiday picnics in Hanes Park.
