I'd pick HP. Its making great strides to improve, with a downtown baseball stadium, HP University growing and expanding, new restaurants, breweries, etc., plus its closer to G'boro and W-S.
Burlington.
1. HP has had lots of crime problems. B has not "caught up" yet.
2. really good Hospitals. B is closer to more than HP.
3. B public schools are AVG. HP schools (as our son says) suck.
I'd choose High Point as it's close to W-S and GSO.
Don't know much about Burlington myself, but I think that's a big selling point for HP here. Living in Northern HP myself, I think it's great being only about 20-25 minutes from both.
Not to mention, while Burlington is a bit closer to Raleigh (about an hour), High Point puts you a bit closer to Charlotte and still in reach of Raleigh (about an hour and a half from both while Burlington is about two hours from Charlotte). As has been mentioned, High Point is starting to gain a little momentum with the stadium development.
...preferably utilizing some form of analytical thought versus some preconceived notions.
Is that what was used to paint you into this two poor choice options corner?
