Our story in the heart of Greensboro

Developer Arthur K. Moore transformed former farmland into Westerwood in 1919, crafting a walkable garden neighborhood with Craftsman bungalows, Tudor cottages, and Colonial facades that still welcome neighbors today.

We sit between Downtown Greensboro, UNCG, and Greensboro College, giving residents easy access to greenways, cultural institutions, and campus energy while preserving the quiet of tree-lined streets.

Why neighbors love Westerwood

  • Walkable blocks with century-old oaks
    From Courtland Street to Lakeview Street, porches and sidewalks invite evening strolls and front-yard conversations.
  • Creative energy and civic pride
    Artists, students, families, and longtime residents collaborate on projects—from the Art & Sole Art Walk to block beautification.
  • Greenway trails minutes away
    Lake Daniel Park connects Westerwood to the Downtown Greenway, Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway, and Peabody Park woods.
