About Mallard Lakes
Mallard Lakes is a neighborhood of 120 homes nestled amid three small lakes in northern Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Our neighborhood is near historic Bethania, a village settled by the Moravians in 1759. The lakes, Bluebill, Teal, and Canvasback, are home to ducks, geese, herons, and, of course, bass and catfish. Birds thrive in the surrounding woods, including hawks, owls, and even uncommon pileated woodpeckers. Mallard Lakes is a delightful place to live in North Carolina’s Piedmont.

ZONING
When Mallard Lakes was designed and built decades ago, the lots were established to take advantage of the lake shores. Many residents enjoy lots that are larger than average compared to new city streets. When the city of Winston-Salem annexed our neighborhood, the default zoning for the surrounding area allowed higher-density construction with smaller lots.
But:
The Mallard Lakes neighborhood is protected by a Neighborhood Conservation Overlay (NCO), a zoning restriction that overrides the default. Lots in the Mallard Lakes Association have larger minimum sizes based on the original neighborhood design.
The purpose of the NCO is to preserve neighborhood integrity and character by ensuring that new developments are compatible with existing developments in the neighborhood. The Neighborhood Conservation Overlay does not regulate the appearance of homes. Its standards apply only to how lots may be developed.
Because the average lot size differs in some parts of Mallard Lakes, the NCO is divided into three districts: District 1, District 2, and District 3. Within all districts, any dwelling must be oriented so that its front entrance faces the street on which the lot fronts.
This table lists the minimum allowed dimensions of lots in each district:
| District 1 | |
|---|---|
| applies to all of Mallard Lakes except Walker Road and the undeveloped lots on Foxhunter Court | |
| Minimum Lot Size: | .5 acre |
| Minimum Lot Width: | 100 feet |
| Minimum Front Setback: | 50 feet |
| District 2 | |
|---|---|
| applies to lots on Walker Road | |
| Minimum Lot Size: | 1.25 acre |
| Minimum Lot Width: | 130 feet |
| Minimum Front Setback: | 125 feet |
| District 3 | |
|---|---|
| applies to undeveloped lots on Foxhunter Court | |
| Minimum Lot Size: | .5 acre |
| Minimum Lot Width: | 100 feet |
| Minimum Front Setback: | 20 feet |
