Star Rating - 11/7/2008
We live on the edge of Burlington. We are retired. It is 1.5 hours from the Mountains and 2 hrs from the beach. The neighbors are very friendly. There are things to do in Burlington, and Greensboro which is quite close. Airport, best one is Raleigh Durham. Greensboro is closer, but more expensive to fly out of. Hospitals are terrific. We use Alamance, but I had eye surgery in Chappel Hill, about 50 minutes away. So there is Duke in Durham about 50 minutes. UNC in Chappel Hill 50 minutes= 2 Great Hospitals, then the Baptist Hospital in the other direction attached to Wake Forrest University. Lots of things going on in all directions at all times. Yup, they are religious around here. I am a different religion from the majority, but they do their thing, I do mine. My wife does neither. We love it.

We wanted the Durham area. House Prices are high in Raleigh and research Park in Durham and keeps going down as you come West. Greensboro house prices are about the same as here. We live in a 5 year old 1700 sq ft 4 bedroom 2 bath cost 162,000 1 year ago. We are happy.

There are 2 colleges within 5 miles. Elon is one of them.

All depends on which part of Burlington NC the best thing to do is just Google the crime rate right now we are One of the worst cities in NC it seems like every week now there's a murder the Mexican cartel has grew much larger in the area and just recently executed a few guys maybe I notice how bad it is because I live on the side of town where most of the crime happens hell our head sheriff that's in charge his daughter just got busted trafficking drugs a few years ago our superior court judge was charged for assaulting his daughter and his wife and got promoted afterwards but regardless as much as I hate this place I love it also and they don't call it "NO CHANCE ALAMANCE" for nothing lol
