Fisher Park sits just north of downtown, a neighborhood of early 20th century houses on curving streets around a wooded city park. The Fisher Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 and covers about 151 acres, by the state’s nomination file. The city also maps Fisher Park as one of its three local historic districts, and OpenStreetMap names it as a place.

Where it is

The district is about six-tenths of a mile across, between downtown to the south, Irving Park to the north and Dunleath to the east. North Elm Street runs through it and has more addresses than any other street, by the city’s address points, followed by Magnolia Street, East Bessemer Avenue, Fisher Park Circle, South Park Drive, North Eugene Street and Leftwich Street.

The city’s address points show 888 addresses in the district. About half sit on land zoned for single-family homes, 28% on office zoning, mostly along the Elm and Bessemer corridors, and 15% on multifamily zoning. All of those with a ZIP code are in 27401.

Unlike Dunleath and College Hill, Fisher Park has no extra historic district tax on Guilford County’s 2026-27 rate table.

Schools

We checked every address in the district against Guilford County Schools’ 2026-27 attendance zone map on Oct. 11. Scores are the share of state tests at grade level in 2025-26, from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.

Statewide, 59.2% of tests were at grade level; across Guilford County Schools, 54.5%. The district is split between two elementary zones, so check the exact address. Each school name links to its NC School Report Card. More in our schools guide.

Home values

Zillow’s typical home value in ZIP code 27401 was $182,377 in August 2026, down 2.8% from $187,608 a year earlier, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, houses and condos together, not a sale price. ZIP code 27401 is large: it also takes in downtown, the Heath area and much of east Greensboro, so it says little about Fisher Park’s own houses. Zillow’s figure for Greensboro as a whole was $263,264, level with a year earlier. More in our home prices guide.
