About Walkertown

Walkertown is a quiet, welcoming town in Forsyth County, located just a short drive northeast of Winston-Salem. Home to around 5,700 people, it offers a relaxed, small-town setting while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand. The community has grown from a rural crossroads into a peaceful residential area, centered around the intersection of Main Street and Old Hollow Road. With its tree-lined neighborhoods and slower pace, it is a great choice for anyone who wants a bit of space without giving up quick access to the Triad.

Daily life here revolves around local schools and neighborhood spots, with Walkertown's elementary, middle, and high schools conveniently clustered near the town library and community park. For outdoor recreation, nearby Belews Lake offers boating and fishing just a short drive to the north. Commuters have a straightforward route into Winston-Salem or Kernersville along U.S. 158 and N.C. 66, making work and shopping trips simple. Overall, Walkertown delivers a comfortable, down-to-earth atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in.
