So what's Asheboro like?

Curlygc, i grew up in Asheboro and I think you will be bored too death there. If you enjoy a social lifestyle about the best you will get there is Church on Sunday. If you want more of a variety i would check out downtown Greensboro. It is a 30 minute drive to Asheboro from there and I think you would be happier there. If you are intent on moving to Asheboro, my mom is a realtor there and she can help you or refer you to a realtor who knows the area.

Hi Elm&McGee:

You're likely right about that. But downtown Greensboro is a bit pricey, and I have a dog. I can't afford doggie daycare or a dog walker (either of those options run about $15 a day on the cheap end) nor can I leave him alone without a potty break for 10 hours at a time while I'm at work. I'll have a chance to check out the town after I start work, then I'll decide what to do. But I think I'm going to end up living there.

You will have to weigh the pros and cons. People who grew up in Asheboro always went to Greensboro to shop, go to nice restaurants, and go to clubs, etc.; however, your living expenses will be more affordable in Asheboro. So you need to decide what is more important to you.

You could also consider splitting the difference and living in between Asheboro and Greensboro so that you are as close to work as you are to Greensboro, and you can possibly find an affordable rental although your options will be fewer in these smaller areas. There again you need to decide if you would mind living in a somewhat rural or suburban area vs. a city.
