Hanes Lake is a Mungo Homes community in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in Forsyth County, built around a 26-acre private lake. Homes run from the low $300,000s to the mid $500,000s, and the community centres on Spicewood Drive off the northwest side of the city.
It is in its final phase. Mungo is advertising final opportunities with a limited number of lakefront homesites remaining. If a lakefront lot is what you are after here, that window is closing rather than opening.
The Lake Is the Point
Most communities that put “lake” in the name are near one. Hanes Lake has its own: 26 acres with a private residents’ dock for fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding, connected to the clubhouse by walking trails through the community.
That is an unusual amenity inside Winston-Salem city limits, and it is the single thing that separates this community from every other new build in the area. It is also why the lakefront homesites carry a premium and why they sold first.
Homes at Hanes Lake
Mungo offers four distinct home collections here, spanning roughly 1,476 to over 3,900 square feet — an unusually wide range for one community. Plans include options for a dedicated home office, a bonus room, or a primary bedroom on the main floor, which is the feature most often asked for and least often available.
Recent availability has included homes from about $375,000 for a 2,260 sq ft three-bedroom up to $620,000 for a 2,646 sq ft five-bedroom on a premium homesite.
Amenities
Beyond the lake and dock: a clubhouse, resort-style pool, playground, cornhole, and sidewalk-lined streets with walking trails linking the clubhouse to the water. This is a fuller amenity package than most Triad communities at this price, and the dues reflect that — ask what they are and what they cover before you commit.
Living Here
The community sits minutes from Winston-Salem proper, with quick access to downtown, Reynolda Village and the Village at Robinhood. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is a short drive, which matters to the many households in this market who work in healthcare.
Buying in a Final Phase
Final-phase buying cuts both ways, and it is worth being clear-eyed about it. In your favour: the community is essentially finished, the amenities exist rather than being promised, and you can see exactly what you are buying into. Against: choice is limited, and builders rarely discount heavily when inventory is short.
The homes that remain in a final phase are often the ones passed over — sometimes for a fixable reason like an odd lot orientation, sometimes for a permanent one. Walk the actual homesite, not just the model.
