From its beginnings as a regional spa resort and exclusive residence for the men of wealth born of tobacco and textiles, West End has been a pedestrian paradise. In a town of only 200,000 folks, its tightly-packed charms make for an island of urbanity in a neighborhood we call home.

Please enjoy this brief web look at one of the special areas in which our town works, lives, and has fun. Where everything seems to be close, convenient, and comfortable. Like the feeling of an easy morning on an old-fashioned front porch.

West End Winston. "Winston-Salem's Front Porch."

Winston-Salem's West End has been a neighborhood place to shop, stroll, stay, and dine for over a century.
