Thanks for your time

Between greensboro and winston-salem, which is better as far as:
1)cost/quality of living
2)things to do
3)transportation (traffic/commutability)

My husband and I are both 20 w/ no kids, and are looking to move from Alabama...we're trying to figure out now where we want to move. Thanks for all info!

Both cities are relative close to each other about a fifteen minute to twenty minute drive.

Cost of living is relative close far day to day living.

Traffic is a breeze in both with exception of a few bottlneck areas (and you learn backroads around those)

They are both great laid back cities and close enough to enjoy the amenities of both

Take a day to visit each city and toss a coin neither has more than what the other has.

agreed both are great cities with unique characteristics.

Downtown W-S is better than GSO. Better clubs too.

I would suggest Greensboro as far as saftey, the downtown area having neat activities to do, it has great parks and nice movie theaters and new shopping locations. If you look at Greensboro, you should look at the Friendly/Guilford/NW Guilford area.

While W-S has been panned in the past for not being very attractive to the 18-35 demographic, there are some very active young professionals groups now. Check out Smitty's Notes: What's Happening in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

So, you're saying that Greensboro is a safer place than Winston-Salem? My research seems to overwhelmingly suggest the opposite.

These two cities lead growth in the Triad.

Which one do you prefer in terms of:

Economy
Shopping
Quality of life
Safety
