About Welcome

Tucked into northern Davidson County just south of Winston-Salem, Welcome is a quiet community of around 4,000 residents that lives up to its friendly name. The area got its name in the early 1900s when locals wanted train passengers to feel right at home at the new railway depot. Today, it offers a peaceful rural atmosphere alongside a proud claim to fame as the long-standing headquarters and museum for NASCAR powerhouse Richard Childress Racing.

Daily life here revolves around strong local roots and an easy routine. Families are zoned for the North Davidson schools, where high school sports and community events bring neighbors together throughout the year. U.S. 52 runs right through the area, making commutes into Winston-Salem or Lexington quick and straightforward for work, healthcare, and shopping. With its relaxed pace and convenient location in the Piedmont Triad, Welcome is a great fit for anyone looking for a little extra breathing room.
