Border Creek
Border Creek is a residential community located in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina. The neighborhood sits in the southwestern part of the city, offering straightforward access to US-421 and I-40, two of the main corridors connecting Winston-Salem to Greensboro, High Point, and the broader Piedmont Triad region. Buyers browsing homes for sale in Border Creek will find a community that combines suburban convenience with proximity to city services and employment centers along the US-421 corridor.
Living in the Winston-Salem Area
Winston-Salem, NC anchors the western end of the Triad. Downtown features the Innovation Quarter, a research and technology district developed around the former R.J. Reynolds tobacco campus, as well as a growing restaurant and arts scene along Trade Street. Major employers in the area include Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, Hanesbrands, and Truist Financial. US-421 connects the southwest side of the city directly into the downtown core and continues northeast toward Greensboro. Interstate 40 provides regional access east toward the Research Triangle and west toward Statesville and Hickory.
Homes in Border Creek
Border Creek features residential construction typical of southwest Winston-Salem subdivisions. Buyers generally find a range of single-family floor plans suited to different household configurations. Home sizes and styles vary, giving the community a mix of options rather than uniform construction throughout. As with most neighborhoods in this part of the city, pricing and market activity track the broader Forsyth County housing market, which means inventory levels and days on market here reflect countywide trends. Buyers should work with an agent familiar with recent comparable sales in the immediate area.
New Construction: Terrace at Border Creek
Terrace at Border Creek is a new-construction phase within Border Creek, built by True Homes and now selling. It offers single-family homes in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County.
This matters for two different buyers. If you want a brand-new home in this part of Winston-Salem, Terrace is one of the few active options on the southwest side — most of what is available here is resale. If you already own in Border Creek, active new construction in your own community sets a visible price reference for what buyers are paying, which is worth knowing before you list.
Terrace carries the same school assignment as the rest of Border Creek: Kimmel Farm Elementary, Flat Rock Middle School and Parkland High School.
True Homes has not published pricing for this phase. On any new-construction purchase, note that you generally need to be registered with your own agent on your first visit to the sales office to keep your representation — and it costs you nothing, because the builder pays it either way.
Border Creek Spans Two Counties
Border Creek sits on the line south of Winston-Salem, and which side a home falls on changes both the tax bill and the schools. This page covers the Forsyth County side, served by Kimmel Farm Elementary, Flat Rock Middle and Parkland High — and it is the side where True Homes is building the Terrace phase.
Homes on the Davidson County side of Border Creek, toward Friedberg, are served by Friedberg Elementary, North Davidson Middle and North Davidson High instead, and carry Davidson County taxes.
Both share a Winston-Salem mailing address and the 27127 zip code, so the address alone will not tell you which county a specific home is in. Confirm the county and the school assignment for the exact address before you make an offer — this is the single most common thing buyers get wrong here.
Nearby Communities
Buyers researching Border Creek often compare it with other Forsyth County neighborhoods in similar price ranges and locations. Nearby options include Mill at Tar Branch, Ardmore Acres, West End Village, and Dogwood Hill. Reviewing multiple communities in the same area helps buyers get a clearer picture of what each neighborhood offers relative to current pricing.
