Jamestown: Jamestown’s quaint downtown contributes to its village feel. Originally settled by Quakers (and a stop on the Underground Railroad), today you’ll find a blend of established mid-century neighborhoods alongside new construction. With close proximity to outdoor recreation—check out High Point City Lake Park!—and Downtown Greensboro, Jamestown is a great choice for anyone who wants the small town life without sacrificing convenience.
Southwest Guilford County is where you’ll find the town of Jamestown, the city of High Point, Sedgefield Country Club, and the Grandover resort community. A short ride away from Downtown Greensboro, Southwest Guilford offers options for buyers seeking established neighborhoods, new construction homes, country club communities, or affordable housing, with easy access to town or country.
