Live in Hamilton Lakes

Hamilton Lakes was a town before it was a neighborhood. Alfred Moore Scales assembled 4,683 acres northwest of Greensboro, and the Town of Hamilton Lakes was incorporated on 6 March 1925, on 1,400 to 1,600 acres with 10 miles of road, four of them paved. By 1927 he had laid out lots, streets, a golf course and two lakes, and that year Edward and Blanche Sternberger Benjamin cut Starmount Forest from the eastern part of the development. Greensboro annexed the town in 1957; Edward R. Zane was its last mayor.

The line on this page is the City's estimate, not the old town's. It is feature 140 of the neighborhood map the City publishes on a layer for its Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, marked VERIFIED NO, and the City says its neighborhood points "should not be considered accurate". It is not an association's territory or a plat, and nothing here claims to know where residents think the name ends. It covers 574 acres south of West Friendly Avenue between Muirs Chapel Road and Kemp Road West, far less than the 1925 town, with Starmount Forest on two sides and the layer's Hamilton Hills to the west. At the 2020 census it held 2,083 residents in 887 housing units, 2.35 to a home. Inside it are Lake Hamilton, Lake Euphemia, four small parks on OpenStreetMap, Morehead Elementary and the swim club.

The lakes are kept by voluntary dues, not by the City. Hamilton Lakes and Parks, Inc. describes itself as a voluntary owners association that maintains Lake Hamilton and Lake Euphemia and the walking trails around them, for "modest annual dues" whose amount this guide could not read. The swim club's own history says Lake Hamilton was closed to swimming after a fish kill in 1960, and that residents opened a 50-meter pool at Tower Road and Montpelier Drive on 13 July 1962; today the club lists three pools and eleven tennis courts, by membership. Water is not the hazard on the City's map: 0.05% of the area is in a special flood hazard area, no 2020 block is, and the point is zone X on FEMA panels effective 10 June 2026.

The school zone at the point is the one graded lower. On Guilford County Schools' 2026-27 layers the point is zoned for Morehead Elementary, an Expressive Arts magnet inside the line, graded C by the state in 2024-25 and 2023-24, and so are 1,536 residents of 2020. The other 547, in the northeast toward Friendly Avenue, are zoned for Sternberger Elementary, graded A both years and meeting at the old Kiser Middle building on Benjamin Parkway. Everyone goes on to Kiser Middle (C) and Grimsley High (B). The tract holding 1,759 of the residents counts 4.7% of its people in college, with a margin of 84 on 142 undergraduates: the tract's figure, not this guide's.

The tax bill is two lines, on 2022 values. Guilford County's 78.95 cents and the City's 79.85 per $100 make 158.80 for fiscal 2027, with no fire district. Senate Bill 889 kept the 2026 bills on values the state put at 68.31% of sale prices in January 2025, and moved the 2026 reappraisal to the 2027 bill at rates not yet set, so the seller's bill is a guide for one year. The County's relief programs take applications in June. Stormwater and solid waste come on the City's water bill, at $1.80 to $4.68 and $5.50 a month on two secondhand pages; the City's own pages refused this site. No sale price follows the line: Zillow's typical value for ZIP code 27410, home to 1,835 of the residents, was $358,322 in August 2026, up 0.7%, ZIP-wide and condominiums included. Route 7 stops on Friendly Avenue about 0.7 km from the point, every 30 minutes at midday.
