Hanes Lake
Hanes Lake Homes for Sale — Winston-Salem, NC 27106
Hanes Lake is one of Winston-Salem's most exciting newer communities — a thoughtfully designed lakefront neighborhood on the former 184-acre Hanes family estate in Pfafftown. With scenic walking trails, a resort-style amenity center, and flexible new-construction home plans, Hanes Lake offers the kind of community infrastructure that established neighborhoods simply cannot replicate.
A Neighborhood With a Story
The land beneath Hanes Lake belonged to the Hanes family — of Hanes Brands fame — for generations before being developed into what is now one of northwest Winston-Salem's most sought-after new communities. The 26-acre lake and surrounding trail system preserve the estate's natural character while the community's amenities, school district, and proximity to the city have made it one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Forsyth County.
What It Feels Like to Live in Hanes Lake
Hanes Lake is anchored by its signature lake, which serves as the centerpiece for a trail network connecting the community's homes, clubhouse, and recreation areas. Home styles range from efficient townhome-style plans starting around 1,476 sq ft to spacious single-family homes over 3,900 sq ft — with flexible floor plans designed for home offices, bonus rooms, and multigenerational living. Sidewalk-lined streets and generous green spaces create a walkable, connected feel.
