Bethania is one of the most historically significant small towns in the Piedmont — the first planned Moravian settlement in North Carolina, laid out in 1759 on the northwestern edge of Forsyth County. Its rare linear village plan and 500-acre historic core earned it National Historic Landmark status, and much of that character survives in its farm lots, period homes, and unhurried village streets. Buyers here choose from restored historic residences along the old town center and newer homes in subdivisions on the town's edges, all just minutes from Winston-Salem.
Popular Bethania Neighborhoods
Historic Main Street — the 1759 Moravian linear village core along Bethania Road, lined with period and heritage-style homes.

Mallard Lakes — a residential community on the town's edge with a quiet, wooded setting.
Life in Bethania
Everyday life here is wrapped in history and open space. The Bethania Historic District — a National Historic Landmark and the largest historic district in Forsyth County — preserves the only continuously active Moravian village of its kind in the southern United States, and the visitor center and walking tours make that heritage easy to explore. The Black Walnut Bottoms Trail offers hiking through the greenway and bottomlands that ring the town, with wildflowers in spring and quiet woods year-round. Students attend schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district, and because Bethania sits just off Reynolda Road, the shops, dining, and employers of Winston-Salem are only about ten minutes away.
