Greensboro (Raleigh, Saxapahaw: condo, townhouses, neighborhoods)

[Marble cake]

Hi. I just returned from being with a realtor. I'm visiting my son here in the triad area of NC. I'm interested in moving in the triad area to be closer to my son.

I live in S Florida now. I don't have any family there. I'm a recent widow. So I'm thinking I rather be near family.

I loved Greensboro. I saw many townhouses and one was so nice I would have put in a bid but I first have to sell Florida. I was so impressed with this city, when I return I think I'm ready to put my condo on the market.

So what is there to do for a 65 year old widow? I have an idea of what I plan on perusing, but would like to know from others personally how senior friendly is Greensboro.

I will keep in touch with the realtor now that she knows what I like.

So tell me what you know.

Thanks.

I'm in your demographic, and I grew up here. If you can be more specific about your interests, I might be able to help.

Thanks sue at the rocks. I like dancing, day trips, social gatherings, movies and shows, music, pool in the summer.

Whatever you can share will be greatly appreciated.

Where is the condo you like?

Neighborhoods have community pools. I go to the downtown Y to swim. The pool there is indoors.

I know people who go dancing, and I'll ask them.

The Carolina Theater has nice events.

There are tons of day trips you could do, depending on your interests. I like Hanging Rock for a nice view and Saxapahaw for lunch. The NC Art Museum in Raleigh has excellent exhibits.

Do you go to church? I don't but the local churches have activities for seniors. I'm still working, and I have friends from high school. We go to dinner sometimes, and that's all I do, haha.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Yes I do go to church. Right now church activities are about 80% of my activities. I currently live in south florida. Very hopping place for sure.

So, a church community will be a good way for you to make friends. It's not hard. People here, in my experience, are nice.
