About the neighborhood
Small town at the foot of the Sauratown Mountains
King is the largest town in Stokes County and the one Winston-Salem commuters pick for mountain views and acreage. It sits at the foot of the Sauratown Mountains with Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock as its skyline, 25 minutes up US-52 from downtown Winston-Salem.
Housing ranges from in-town subdivisions to homes on several acres along the county roads. West Stokes High is the school of record and a big part of the appeal. Prices are well below Forsyth County for comparable homes and land.

Small-town and outdoorsy. Hiking, fishing and youth sports fill weekends, the town's festivals draw the county, and the mountains are always in view.
