Sherwood Forest

Spacious Yards, Top Schools & Family-First Living

👥 Overview & Housing Styles

Sherwood Forest is a well-established northwest Winston‑Salem neighborhood featuring beautifully mature treescapes and generous lot sizes. Developed primarily in the 1960s and ’70s, homes include ranch, split-level, mid-century modern, Tudor, and traditional brick styles. Median home values range from $250,000 to $700,000, depending on the section (“Old” vs. “New”).

🏫 Schools & Family Features

Home to Sherwood Forest Elementary, Jefferson Middle, and Mount Tabor High, which consistently earn high marks on school rankings such as Niche. The neighborhood offers exceptional student engagement, strong STEM programs, and active extracurriculars.

🌳 Recreation & Amenities

Sherwood Forest provides plenty for families who love the outdoors:

Peacehaven Pool & Tennis Club with playgrounds and social events
Muddy Creek Greenway, Shaffner Park, Leinbach Park, and the Sherwood Parcourse exercise trail—perfect for biking, walking, or light exercise

🚗 Location & Lifestyle

Located just off Silas Creek Parkway, Sherwood Forest is about a 15-minute drive to downtown. Though auto-dependent, nearby shopping centers on Robinhood and Country Club roads offer easy access to favorites like grocery stores, restaurants, and retail. Residents describe the neighborhood as safe, walkable for errands, and highly community-oriented.
