Need some advice on which suburb to move to...would be working in the Greensboro area....raising a young daughter and taking care of an elderly parent......would like someplace quiet, good schools, low crime of course, parks, shops.....not far from downtown...maybe a 45 minute to an hour drive!
There are some great affordable neighborhoods for families here. If you would like more specific information, i.e. cost of housing, please let me know and I'll get info. to you.
Lake Jeanette, Adams Farm, White Horse Farms are all areas that are family-friendly, well situated for shoppint and in good school zones.
I just moved to NW Greensboro, next to the Guilford Courthouse Nat'l Park. Everything within a several mile radius of my apartment seems upper-middle class, somewhat yuppie-ish, well planned and well landscaped, with low crime. Based on my limited experience here, north and northwest of downtown are probably your best bets. I was advised (on this board) to look into the NW side of town. I just drove up to G'boro one day and drove around. The good and bad areas of town seem pretty obvious, when you're driving around.
I'm sure there are other good options besides that side of town - but it seems to be the safest bet.
Are the North and Northwest sides of Greensboro liberal areas of town? Any specific apaprtment recommendations from anyone out there?
