Stokes County, North Carolina
Stokes County sits in the northern Piedmont along the Virginia border, anchored by King and Walnut Cove and defined by rolling farmland, the Dan River, and Hanging Rock State Park near the small seat of Danbury. Growth here tracks Winston-Salem commuter spillover along US-52 and US-311, but limited water and sewer infrastructure across much of the county constrains where new subdivisions can actually be built.
