Since nobody asked, here are my own personal power rankings of Greensboro neighborhoods, based on a proprietary evaluation of prestige, architectural character, and neighborhood identity:
1. Old Irving Park
2. Fisher Park
3. Starmount Forest/Hamilton Lakes
4. Sedgefield/Grandover (almost didn't include b/c Sedgefield isn't in GSO city limits)
5. Sunset Hills
6. New Irving Park/Brown Town
7. Old Starmount
8. College Hill
9. Lindley Park
10. Lake Jeanette

It’s the overall character for me. Coupled with the lake and the architecture of the homes. Feels like a different world, and the distance from the city actually contributes to that. Just a beautiful enclave.
Y’all apparently value a neighborhood being in city limits or in the city’s core. I don’t. At all. Not sure what all the fuss is about, but Greensboro’s city core doesn’t even come close to offering enough for it to be a highly weighted factor in determining neighborhood prestige and/or desirability. Sorry.
