The town of McLeansville hosts a grocery store, post office, several small businesses, and several churches. US 70 is the main corridor that links the town to neighboring communities such as Greensboro, Sedalia, Gibsonville, Whitsett and Burlington. Interstate 785 passes thru a small portion of the town, connecting it north to US 29. The town is also home to a Publix Supermarket distribution center, situated along US 70. It was finished in 2022 at an estimated cost of $300 million.^[6] Areas bordering the town, particularly to the north, are characterized by rolling farmland, wooded areas, and suburban homes. Several strip malls with grocery stores and other businesses are in the outlying areas. The northern edge of McLeansville is accessible via US 29 and Hicone Road (Exit 136) from Greensboro; here, visitors can access Northeast Guilford Middle and High Schools, as well as Boldmoon Preserve, a passive park that features frontage along Reedy Fork Creek, with nature trails and interpretive signage.
