Emerywood is the historic prestige neighborhood of High Point, a 60-block stretch of tree-lined streets tucked inside the Uptown Suburbs Historic District added to the National Register in 2013.

The neighborhood has no HOA, sits inside the High Point city limits (1.37 percent tax rate), and includes Johnson Place, Sheraton Hill, The Parkway, and Roland Park in the same historic district designation.

Market Compass Reading
Current Signal: Balanced with slight seller edge
Teresa Overcash's Market Compass tracks every one of the 819 NC ZIPs on a 12-point market cycle. Emerywood sits in the 27262 ZIP with a current score of 58 out of 100, which reads as balanced, with historic character and lot rarity giving well-updated homes a small seller edge. In practical terms for you: sellers of updated 3-plus bedroom homes with original character intact can price at the top of recent comps and expect strong buyer interest, while sellers of homes needing renovation should price under comps to compete with move-in-ready inventory. Buyers should be prepared for slower days on market averaging 45 to 55 days but rarely need to offer over asking except on the most updated estate homes. See the full NC Market Compass.
