Wallburg Neighborhood Guide

Wallburg sits in the northeastern corner of Forsyth County, stretching along Old Hollow Road and Friedberg Church Road toward the Davidson County line, where the landscape shifts from subdivision to something closer to actual countryside. Properties here tend to come with real acreage, and the gaps between neighbors are wide enough that you notice them. It's the kind of place where people know each other at the hardware store and at church, and where the tradeoff for that slower pace is a genuine 20-minute drive to reach most everyday errands. For families who want space without leaving Forsyth County entirely, Wallburg offers a version of Winston-Salem that feels like it belongs to a different era of the region.
