Homes for Sale in Ardmore, Winston-Salem NC
The largest historic neighborhood in Winston-Salem, sandwiched between two major hospitals and walkable to everything
About Ardmore
Ardmore is the heart of Winston-Salem in a way few other neighborhoods can claim. It is the largest residential neighborhood in the city, with roughly 3,529 to 4,300 homes depending on where you draw the boundary, and it sits less than 2 miles southwest of downtown. You are sandwiched between two major hospital systems here: Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center on the southwestern edge and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center plus Brenner Children Hospital on the northeastern edge, with Hawthorne Road running the spine between them. The bones go back to the early 1900s, when Ardmore grew out of the economic boom that followed the merger of Winston and Salem in 1913. Many of the larger homes were built with live-in apartments for household staff, and that history is why you will find such a wide architectural range today, from Queen Anne mansions and Colonial Revivals to small bungalows and cottages, sometimes on the same block. Most of the neighborhood built out between 1940 and 1969, with a median year built of 1948, so a walk down any street means passing a 1920s Craftsman bungalow next to a brick ranch next to a midcentury split-level. The 41-acre Miller Park anchors weekend life with tennis courts, a pool, playgrounds, and athletic fields, and the annual Art Walk, where residents open their own yards to local artists, tells you exactly what kind of community this is. Cloverdale Plaza and Thruway Shopping Center keep grocery and dining within five minutes of any address. Come ready to move fast: well-priced renovated bungalows go under contract quickly, and many homes carry historic-district guidelines on exterior work, so you want an agent who knows which streets require preservation review. Bring a pre-approval, a clear sense of what you will and will not change about a home built in the 1920s, and a renovation budget that accounts for matching original materials, and Ardmore will treat you well.

Ardmore sits in the 27103 ZIP with a current score of 60 out of 100, which reads as balanced, with about 2.7 months of supply giving well-renovated bungalows a mild seller advantage. In practical terms for you: sellers of updated bungalows and Colonial Revivals can price near the top of recent comps and expect interest inside two to three weeks, while sellers of homes needing work should price under comps to compete with move-in-ready inventory. Buyers should carry a pre-approval and move fast on anything renovated, since 201 homes have sold here in the past 12 months at an average of 33 days on market. See the full NC Market Compass.
