East Forsyth & Kernersville

The eastern corridor of the metro area centered on Kernersville, the Triad's crossroads town positioned midway between Winston-Salem and Greensboro along I-40 Business. Kernersville is the largest incorporated town in Forsyth County outside Winston-Salem, with a revitalized downtown, strong school options, and a mix of established and new-construction neighborhoods. Walkertown lies to the northeast with a small-town feel and easy access to US-311. This corridor benefits from proximity to Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) and employers in both Winston-Salem and Greensboro, making it a popular choice for dual-city commuters.
