Sedgefield Lakes

Located in southwestern Greensboro near the town of Jamestown, Sedgefield Lakes offers a peaceful, rustic lifestyle centered heavily around water recreation and mid-century neighborhood charm.Developed in the mid-1950s, its tagline—"Convenience of the City, Serenity of the Country"—perfectly captures its daily pacing.

Unlike manicured country club communities, Sedgefield Lakes has a more natural, pastoral, and retro lake-town feel. Heavy tree cover, winding roads, and large lots create an immediate sense of privacy and quiet seclusion.

The neighborhood features over 150 custom-built homes dating back to the 1950s and 60s.Instead of cookie-cutter modern designs, you will see a varied architectural mix of sprawling brick ranches, split-levels, Cape Cods, and unique mid-century contemporary builds lining the lakefront and interior streets.

Life here is dictated by the water. The community is anchored by three private lakes managed by the neighborhood's voluntary civic association, SELCO.

For members, summer life mirrors a vintage resort. The main and largest lake features a designated sandy beach and swimming area, a playground, a picnic pavilion, and tennis/pickleball courts.It is one of the few local neighborhood lakes that allows small motor craft, meaning days are regularly spent water skiing, tubing, fishing, and kayaking.

The neighborhood association organizes traditional community events like seasonal picnics, fishing tournaments, and casual social gatherings at the pavilion.It is a highly neighborly, tight-knit environment where residents take pride in protecting the natural wildlife and water ecosystems.

Geographically, Sedgefield Lakes sits in an ideal pocket off Hilltop Road. While it technically carries a Greensboro address, it is heavily integrated into the everyday conveniences of nearby Jamestown and High Point.

Commuting is effortless. Residents can enjoy the absolute quiet of a lakeside retreat but are only minutes away from the major commercial corridors of West Gate City Boulevard and Bridford Parkway. This provides quick access to a huge variety of shopping centers, dining, I-40, and the nearby Grandover and Sedgefield Country Club golf resorts.

 Sedgefield Lakes offers a relaxed, unpretentious lifestyle defined by private water access, old-school neighborhood ties, and mature wooded acreage—all without sacrificing proximity to the heart of the Triad.

Quintessential Updated Neighborhood Homes ($300,000 – $425,000): This is the busiest tier for the neighborhood. Fully updated 3-to-4-bedroom split-levels, brick ranches, and traditional homes ranging from 1,700 to 2,500 sq. ft.—sitting on quiet, wooded interior lots—consistently sell right in the mid-$300,000s.

Premium Waterfront & Large Wooded Estates ($430,000 – $550,000+): Properties that sit directly on one of the three private lakes, feature private docks, or span over 3,000 sq. ft. of living space command the top tier of the market. Because of the limited lakefront inventory, these homes easily clear $450,000 to $550,000+.

 Sedgefield Lakes moves very quickly when inventory pops up. Because of its affordable price point relative to other lake neighborhoods, a low voluntary HOA fee, and high demand for the Jamestown school district, well-maintained homes often go under contract in under 20 days.
