I'll be relocating to the Greensboro/Winston Salem area this summer and looking to get to know others who might be in a simliar situation? I'll be working in Greensboro but my husband will be going to school in W-S so we're looking to live in High Point or Kernersville. Is anyone familiar with those areas? Our closest friends are in Raleigh or Charlotte, so we're moving blindly. Looking forward to the adventure!

I was born and raised here.. I love it...it's a large enough town to have lots to do with lots of hospitals near

High Point is a dead end town. I can't get out of here soon enough. There is absolutely nothing to do here besides shop for furniture. It is however convenient to both WS and Greensboro. Is there any other reason you wouldn't want to stay in either Greensboro or WS besides wanting to be in the middle of both?

Cost of living is cheaper in High Point.

Right now we're looking at living in West Greensboro or Kernersville. High Point is out mainly because of our commute times. I will have on call shifts, so I would like to live within the 30 minute time frame so I can stay home on those days. My husband will be commuting to the north side of Winston Salem, so we're trying to make it convenient for both. We love being outdoors and will greatly miss the hiking and beach sports we do now. Any great places you recommend?

Good thing about the piedmont is we are a couple hours from beach and mountains....great hiking trails less then an hour from Greensboro.... Called hanging rock.

I would have to agree with a previous poster regarding high point. I highly recommend Greensboro as that's where I live however Kernersville is a great in-between spot.
