Country Surroundings With City Connections
Advance sits in eastern Davie County, just west of Clemmons and Winston-Salem. The community combines rural landscapes and larger properties with established neighborhoods and newer residential development, creating a setting that can change considerably depending on where you look.
LIFE IN ADVANCE
A Little More Country, Without Being Too Far Away
Life in Advance often comes with a little more space and a little less density than you'll find closer to Winston-Salem. Established neighborhoods and newer communities are mixed among country roads, wooded properties, farmland, and more open landscapes.
There isn't a central downtown around which daily life revolves. Instead, residents rely on businesses and services throughout Advance and nearby communities, with Clemmons providing additional shopping, dining, healthcare, and everyday conveniences just to the east.
Head in the other direction and the surroundings become increasingly connected to Davie County's rural character, giving Advance an interesting position between the greater Winston-Salem area and the countryside beyond it.
HOMES IN ADVANCE
Neighborhood Living, Newer Homes & Room to Spread Out
The housing landscape in Advance reflects the community itself. Established neighborhoods and newer developments sit alongside larger lots, wooded properties, and homes surrounded by more open land.
That variety means a home search here often involves more than deciding on square footage and finishes. Lot size, utilities, road access, property boundaries, outbuildings, HOA considerations, and the surrounding land can all become part of evaluating whether a property is the right fit.
