South and Southwest is our name for the city west of Elm Street and south of Gate City Boulevard or Interstate 40, 71,846 residents and 31,514 housing units in 2020. Every guide here is one area of the City's own neighborhood map, which the City describes as estimated and which marks none of these areas verified, so its line is the City's sketch rather than a surveyed or adopted boundary. Glenwood is 5,258 residents on 728 acres between Coliseum Boulevard and Freeman Mill Road, about 620 of them in UNCG's South Campus housing, and 12 in a special flood hazard area by block. Warnersville, 2,112 residents on 204 acres along Randleman Road, was inside the city by 1891 or 1923, and 2,079 of its residents live in three inactive Warnersville redevelopment areas. Adams Farm, 6,556 residents on 692 acres annexed in 1987, is the largest guide in the city, a development with Adams Farm Park and Adams Lake inside. With three guides for 71,846 residents, this area grows next. 3 guides are listed below.
