Isenhour Homes Plans New Home Builds in Pfafftown, North Carolina

Isenhour Homes is set to expand its footprint in Forsyth County with a new development in Pfafftown.

 

The company has acquired a 13.35-acre tract on Chickasha Drive, aiming to construct approximately 14 homes.

 

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Planning Board has recommended rezoning the property from Agricultural to Residential Single-Family-40 (RS40).

 

This zoning change would permit homes on lots of at least 40,000 square feet, aligning with the area's existing residential character.

 

The site is situated on the west side of Chickasha Drive, south of Yadkinville Road and north of Peaceful Glen Drive.

 

It is bordered by both agricultural land and higher-density residential subdivisions.

 

Planning Department staff have endorsed the rezoning, noting that the proposal aligns with the Forward 2045 Plan's recommendations to use less intense single-family zoning as a buffer between rural and suburban developments.

 

During the planning process, a neighbor expressed concerns about potential impacts on residents of Spring Forest Drive.

 

In response, the Planning Board encouraged Isenhour Homes to collaborate with neighbors to configure the lots in a way that minimizes potential negative effects.

 

The Winston-Salem City Council is expected to vote on the rezoning request in an upcoming meeting.

 

Founded in 1983 by K. Todd Isenhour, Isenhour Homes specializes in customizable homes and ranks as the 10th busiest home builder in the Triad based on 2024 closings.

 

The company has developed neighborhoods such as Brookberry Farm, Old Mill, Crescent Hill, Ivy Brook, and Meadowlands.

 

Isenhour Homes also maintains a presence on the North Carolina coast, with an office in Oak Island.

 

In recent years, the Pfafftown housing market has experienced notable activity.

 

As of October 2025, the median home price was $349,400, reflecting a 13.44% year-over-year increase.

 

Homes sold in a median of 50 days, indicating a strong seller's market.

 

Isenhour Homes' planned development on Chickasha Drive is poised to contribute to this growth, offering new housing options in a desirable area.

 

As the project progresses, collaboration between the builder and the community will be essential to address concerns and ensure the development enhances the neighborhood.
