Questions Buyers Ask About Burlington Neighborhoods

In Burlington, a two-bedroom condo in Brookwood can still list for under $100,000, while a new brick townhome at Weybridge can ask more than $500,000. The five Burlington, NC neighborhoods below fall between those prices. What separates them most is often the HOA dues and the tax bill, not the list price.

We picked these five because they had some of the most active listings in our Burlington homes for sale search in October, 2026.


What Homes Cost in Five Burlington Neighborhoods

These numbers come from our listing pages on October 2, 2026. They show asking prices, not closed sales, and they will change as homes are listed and sold.

Active listings in five Burlington neighborhoods, October 2, 2026
Neighborhood Main home types Median list price Avg. $ per sq. ft.
The Townes and Villas at Weybridge New and newer villas and townhomes $438,434 $219
Mackintosh on the Lake Single-family homes and townhomes $407,815 $168
Brookwood 1950 condos and older houses $175,539 $142
Bedford Hills Two-story homes from the late 2010s $274,225 $136
Country Club Forest Single-family homes from 1964 to 2002 $441,975 $186

Weybridge had the highest average at $219 per square foot, and Bedford Hills had the lowest at $136. Country Club Forest had a slightly higher median list price than Weybridge but cost about $33 less per square foot. The older homes there offer more space for the same price. When I compare two of these neighborhoods for a buyer, I first add the monthly HOA dues and the tax bill to the mortgage payment. Those two costs often change more from one neighborhood to the next than the list prices do.

The Townes and Villas at Weybridge in Burlington NCVillas and Townhomes off South Church Street

Weybridge is a Keystone Homes community off South Church Street, about 2 miles from University Drive, which meets I-40/85 at exit 140. It has two sections. The Villas are single-family homes, and the Townes are townhomes on Talisker Way and Dunvegan Lane. Residents share a clubhouse, a pool, and a fitness center. Keystone builds the homes with brick on all four sides and says more than 120 homeowners already live here.

On October 2, 2026, Weybridge listings averaged 294 days on our site. That was the longest of these five, because most are new homes Keystone is still selling, and several have dropped in price. One Cayman townhome on Talisker Way went from $409,005 to $329,525 on the builder's site. I usually tell buyers to price a 2021 or 2022 Weybridge resale next to the quick move-in homes and other new construction in Burlington. Then ask the sales office which incentives apply to each homesite. Check the dues too. The Villas master association was $65 a month on Keystone's feature sheet, while Townes listings on our site showed $260 to $265 a month.

Neighborhood highlights:

  • One-story Essex plans from about 1,900 to 2,080 square feet for buyers who want everything on the main floor
  • Some Townes dues include exterior structure and road maintenance, not just lawn care
  • Two entrances off South Church Street, with Glenlivet Way leading to Talisker Way

Mackintosh on the Lake in Burlington NCA 612-acre planned community near Lake Mackintosh

Mackintosh on the Lake is a 612-acre planned community on Burlington's west side, off Bonnar Bridge Parkway near Lake Mackintosh. Single-family streets like Granger Trail and Kincade Drive share the neighborhood with townhome sections such as Comrie Lane. The Mackintosh on the Lake Community Association runs a 7,600-square-foot clubhouse with a fitness center, a junior Olympic pool, and a splash park. More than 20 miles of sidewalks and trails connect the sections.

On October 2, 2026, Mackintosh listings on our site ran from a $258,000 Comrie Lane townhome to a six-bedroom house on Granger Trail at $599,000. The county line can move the budget even more. Burlington's city rate is the same on both sides, but the combined rate is $1.0576 per $100 in Alamance County and $1.3531 on the Guilford County side. On a $400,000 assessed value, that is about $4,230 a year versus $5,412. I pull the parcel record on every Mackintosh listing before we write an offer, because the street name will not tell you which county a house is in.

Neighborhood highlights:

  • HOA dues on recent listings ranged from about $60 a quarter to $250 a month, and some homes pay a section association plus the master association
  • Tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts are shared by every section
  • Some amenities need a reservation or an access card, so ask how the card transfers at closing

Brookwood in Burlington NCWest Burlington condos and older homes

Brookwood is an older neighborhood in Burlington's 27215 ZIP code, along West Front Street and Roslyn Drive. Most of its listings are in Brookwood Garden Condominiums, built in 1950. The units are two-bedroom, one-bath condos with 667 to 875 square feet. A few houses on Hawthorne Lane and West Front Street also appear, built from 1937 to 1957, with no HOA.

On October 2, 2026, the four Brookwood condos on our site were listed for $99,900 to $135,000, and the three houses were listed for $120,000 to $350,000. Condo dues were $258 to $300 a month. They cover building insurance, grounds, and trash, and some Roslyn Drive units also include water. At $300 a month, the dues total $3,600 a year, more than the roughly $1,058 city and county tax bill on a $100,000 assessed value. If you plan to use an FHA loan, have your lender check the HUD condominium approval list for the exact building. I also ask for the association budget and reserve balance right after we go under contract, because a 1950 building with a thin reserve is where special assessments tend to come from.

Neighborhood highlights:

  • Some condos still use window units, while refreshed units have ductless mini-splits
  • Current listings are assigned to Hillcrest Elementary, Turrentine Middle, and Walter M. Williams High
  • The Arboretum at Willowbrook Park is nearby, with free admission from sunrise to sunset

Bedford Hills in Burlington NCNewer homes at the lowest price per square foot

Bedford Hills is a 250-home subdivision on more than 90 acres between NC 49 North and Mebane Rogers Road. LGI Homes built it, and the Town of Green Level lists it as complete in 2019. The homes have Burlington mailing addresses in the 27217 ZIP code, but the neighborhood is inside Green Level's town limits. Current listings are two-story homes from 2017 and 2018 on lots of about 0.18 to 0.29 acres.

Bedford Hills has the lowest price per square foot of these five, and its tax rate is also lower. Alamance County's 49.4-cent rate plus Green Level's 26-cent rate comes to 75.4 cents per $100, compared with $1.0576 inside Burlington. On a $250,000 assessed value, that is about $1,885 a year instead of $2,644. Current listings show Pleasant Grove Elementary, which was one of the schools whose boundary changed in the March 2026 redraw. I check the address on the new maps before a buyer counts on any school, because an older listing sheet can still show the old assignment. Our Bedford search also includes a $750,000 listing: a 5.56-acre commercial tract on NC 49, not a home, so leave it out when you compare prices.

Neighborhood highlights:

  • Four-bedroom plans like a 2,380-square-foot home on Pillow Lane listed at $321,900
  • HOA dues on current listings ranged from $25 a year to $31 a month, with a neighborhood playground
  • Most listing directions start at I-40/85 exit 153 at NC 119 in Mebane

Country Club Forest Burlington NCBrick ranches on larger lots near Alamance Country Club

Country Club Forest is an established west Burlington subdivision near Alamance Country Club, the private club founded in 1946 around a Donald Ross golf course. Current listings run from a 1964 house at Edgewood and Armfield avenues to a 2002 ranch on Silver Lake Drive. In between are a 1970 brick Dutch Colonial on Truitt Drive and a 1986 brick Colonial on Hiddenwood Lane with 4,102 square feet. Lots on these listings are about 0.29 to 0.36 acres, and none showed HOA dues.

Prices on our site ran from $329,900 to $620,000 on October 2, 2026. Buying here does not come with a club membership. Membership is by invitation only, with one member sponsoring you and two more endorsing you. Three of the four current listings have crawlspace foundations. On a house from the 1970s or 1980s, I have the inspector go into the crawlspace to check for moisture, the vapor barrier, and the floor framing. We do that before we write the repair request.

Neighborhood highlights:

  • Some of the largest lots on this list, about a third of an acre on most current listings
  • Current listings are assigned to two different elementary schools, Marvin B. Smith and Grove Park
  • No HOA dues, though older recorded covenants can still apply, so ask for them in the title search

Three Things to Check Before You Pick a Neighborhood

  • The school assignment. The ABSS board approved new elementary and middle school maps in March 2026, moving about 820 elementary and 620 middle school students. Look up the exact address on the ABSS student assignment page instead of relying on an older listing.
  • Who sends the water bill. Burlington adds a $7 monthly stormwater fee to city water and sewer accounts, along with the solid waste charge. Green Level runs its own water and sewer billing and approved a new rate schedule on December 11, 2025. Ask the seller for a recent utility bill so your monthly budget reflects actual usage.
  • The parcel and the plat. Pull the parcel on the Alamance County GIS map to confirm lot lines and acreage. Then ask your closing attorney for the recorded plat so you can see easements before you plan a fence or an addition.

Questions Buyers Ask About Burlington Neighborhoods

Can you swim or use a motorboat on Lake Mackintosh?

Swimming, wading, skiing and jet skis are not allowed because the lake is Burlington's main water supply. The city runs two public parks on it. Lake Mackintosh Park and Marina at 2704 Huffman Mill Road rents kayaks and rowboats and is closed every Monday and Tuesday. Guilford-Mackintosh Park and Marina in Whitsett allows electric trolling motors only and is closed every Wednesday and Thursday.

Which of these neighborhoods have the lowest HOA dues?

Country Club Forest listings showed no HOA dues on October 2, 2026, and neither did the older Brookwood houses. Bedford Hills dues were small, from $25 a year to $31 a month. The highest dues were for Brookwood condos and Weybridge townhomes, where the association pays more for building upkeep.
