I am on a road trip checking out different towns as places to possibly move to....need some quick help from people on this Forum. I am going to check out High Point (have already visited Winston Salem and Greensboro on previous trips and they are not for me) and I need the names of some neighborhoods that would fit what I am looking for. I have a realtor there who I was hoping would drive me around some neighborhoods, but he isn't available on the dates I am there, so I need help.
I am a single woman so am looking for a safe neighborhood with houses under 200k and since it is just for me I want something less than 1600 square feet, my ideal is between 1,000-1,400 sq ft. I love historic homes, really the older the better! I don't mind an area that is turning over with fixer uppers as it would be great to put my own stamp on things.
Anyway, let me know what neighborhoods would be a match to the above, but since my GPS doesn't know how to direct me to a neighborhood name, if you can give me 2 cross streets in the neighborhood or a local business that is there, that would be a big help!
Thanks for the quick response. Can you expand a bit on why you said I won't find what I am looking for in HP? Is my price point too low? Are there not a lot of older homes? Or are you hinting that there aren't a lot of safe neighborhoods?
HP doesn't have a lot of safe neighborhoods that would be in that price range/houses of that size. Also, most of the safer areas are newer builds without a lot of character. Jamestown might fit what you're looking for. I would also suggest Greensboro, Looking at the Lindley Park/Kirkwood areas.
Anything in Kirkwood or Lindley Park below $200K will go quickly, so you need to get a realtor and be prepared to jump. Here are a couple of examples from Realtor.com that are apparently under contract:

Not true at all. Northern High Point has quite a few homes that fit the bill.
Thanks for the responses everyone. I will do some research on Jamesboro, but as I mentioned in my post I have previously visited Greensboro and didn't like it, so that is not a possibility for me.

If you didn't like G'boro or Winston I don't think you'd like High Point either. They're all more alike than different.
Edit: After reading some of your other threads, I can say High Point is definitely not what you're looking for. Finding a "historic" house for $200K or less will require you to go to a small town far removed from a larger metro area, imo. Warrenton NC maybe?

This. North/NW High Point has some neighborhoods that would fit your description.
