Lewisville (Winston-Salem area) rated by Niche.com as one of the best places to live in NC

Lewisville is currently rated as one of the best places to live in North Carolina by Niche.com, with an overall A+ rating, getting high marks for Public Schools, Housing, Good For Families, Jobs, and Health and Fitness.

It was #2 out of 185 for: Best Suburb to Buy a House; #4 out of 498 for Best Places To Buy a House; and #8 out of 356 for Places With Best Public Schools in NC

I mentioned in another video that Lewisville had the highest average home sale price in Forsyth and Davie counties, at over $500,000.

When I describe the area to people from out of town, I tell them that the entire surrounding area is really nice, but Lewisville has a bit more of a rural, relaxed feel that is a little less dense.

To be fair surrounding zipcodes, they’re all highly rated. With good schools, housing and job opportunities, and other factors that contribute to a good quality of life.

I will also say this. I work with people from out of state who may also be considering Greensboro, Raleigh, or around Charlotte, and they normally gravitate back to the Winston-Salem area.

Not that those areas aren’t nice, but homes are generally more densely packed, with more traffic, and more competition with other home buyers. Winston-Salem, in my opinion, is that perfect blend with access to great housing, schools, shopping, and activities without a ton of traffic and people breathing down your neck. It is more relaxed and laid back.

My recommendation to people looking in the area is to cast a wider net geographically because great places to live are spread out over the area. Housing inventory in the area, just like most of the rest of the country is low, so looking over a broader area will give you a better chance to find something you like.
