What it’s like to live in Ardmore
Historic charm defines Ardmore, where this distinctive Winston-Salem neighborhood showcases homes from the 1920s-30s just minutes from downtown. Rental options include divided historic homes and smaller apartment buildings with architectural details unavailable in newer construction. While the area offers excellent access to both Baptist Medical Center and Hanes Park recreation, parking can be challenging on narrower streets without dedicated spaces.
