Historic
Oak Crest is a unique neighborhood that dates back as early as the 1920’s
and is nestled in the north side of Winston-Salem adjacent to Wake Forest
University.
Unlike today's subdivisions that have small,
perfectly level lots crowded with homes that all look alike, Oak Crest
offers a unique mix of old and new. Oak Crest is a neighborhood with the
charm and character of days gone by. Large wooded lots with craftsman,
bungalow, and cottage style houses adorn the tree lined streets.
Beautiful
meadows, streams and ponds can also be found in Oak Crest. Logs, rocks,
bricks, shingles, and stucco are some of the building materials used on the
facades of the homes.
Historic Oak Crest has
been, and continues to be for many, home
to second, third, and even fourth generations of families. It is a
neighborhood that has stood the test of time. It still retains much of its
original charm that attracted the original families who resided here so long
ago.
