Greensboro, NC
Excellent City -
11/1/2014If you are thinking Greensboro, NC for settlement, you must have researched very well.
The best attraction in my view is the NICE people who live here. How caring they are is simply refreshing, and gives a new meaning to humanity.
I have lived here for 3+ yrs now, before which I lived in Houston, Detroit, Gastonia/Charlotte. I am so happy about my decision to relocate to Greensboro with my family of 8.
In my opinion , Greensboro is perfect for 2 kinds of people. Those who want to raise young family will have a wonderful mix of very good to excellent public schools both in city limit and suburbs. You also have prestigious options for well established private schools from daycare to highschool to college. The area also offers fair shopping choices.
Big name North Carolina Universitis, like Duke, UNC, High Pint, Wake Forst, Davidson, etc are within 1 to 1.15 hours drive. The other kind are those who want to retire into a laid back quiet life. Tons of options for luxurious townhomes in nice neighborhoods to multiacre affordable single family homes.
There is no crowd here, a lot of space to maneuver , renovated roads, and state- of- the- art library systems. The weather is near pefect with a mouthful taste of all four seasons coupled with ample walking/exercising venues.
You can not beat the fair cost of living here specially those who are looking to relocate from east, west, and southeast coasts.
Downtown Greensboro is changing for the better at an alarming pace, Highpoint and Winston-Salem are 20-30 minutes away. The Metrostatistical area is dense enough and a usual attraction for mass activities.
We may need a major league sport team soon. Hope it is helpful. Cheers.
