Listed by Kay Hatcher• Howard Hanna Allen Tate - Winston Salem
Brookwood, located between Silas Creek Parkway and Stratford Road, is a residential and wooded Winston-Salem neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and curving, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Stratford Road corridor near Hanes Mall Boulevard, where coffee counters, local eateries, and service storefronts keep the pace steady. Camino Bakery and Krankies Coffee serve as familiar gathering spots, with SECCA adding a contemporary art anchor nearby. Brick colonials and low-slung ranches sit on generous lots, giving the streetscape a quiet, established feel. Sidewalk gaps and rolling topography put the focus on drives and pocket green spaces. Nearby parks and greenways shape an outdoors-forward routine without leaving the west side.
