thanks so much for this video. my boyfriend and i are moving to greensboro in july all the way from south florida! i love your perspective on the city you know so well and it really helps to know what to expect before we go.

Been here for two years. Originally from the Northeast. The one thing I would disagree with you about is the weather. The four seasons here are infinitely better than up north. Up north we live through up to five months of winter. I’ll take a few cold days and a few ice storms and a few nice days interrupted by some more cold days over anything the Northeast has to offer as far as winter. it does not get real cold here. And it doesn’t stay winter for months and months on end. I’ll take it any day.

I've been living in Greensboro for 25 years and it's the best living city in the United States, I've been from Portland Maine all the way to Florida, and with one working you can leaving pretty much comfortable

This video is one of many in a series of videos she made about Greensboro. She mostly has great things to say- this video just lays out some of the "cons" of the area. Thx for the info! We are looking to move here soon

My problem with Greensboro is the lack of modern and consistent growth of the city overall and preferably the downtown scene. It’s pathetic when you compare to how rapid other NC cities such and Durham, Raleigh, or Winston-Salem have grown. However, I do feel that Gboro is much more family friendly city to live in

Awesome and informative video! I lived in Greensboro for some years. Moved to Columbus, Ohio for job opportunities and I’m thinking about relocating back to Greensboro or High point as Columbus has gotten unaffordable. I have plans of buying a house shortly after I get there.

Greensboro drivers are not rude or aggressive but they are inattentive and oblivious.

My problem with Greensboro are the new people moving here, especially from the northeast…specifically New York and New Jersey. They’re killing the kindness and warmth of what makes NC “southern”. The kindness is being run over by self centeredness and “me me me” and worse “screw you” mentality. Also, unfortunately, the politics are changing more toward loose and “progressive” morals. I believe in to each their own, be yourself and love who you love. But, the effort to put an end to traditional Americana is quite disappointing and sad. Please come. Please fit in. Stop trying to change things so drastically and do respect those who built this place and have done their best to make it a welcoming and warm “home”.

I was born and raised in Burlington, NC. And I've been away from home for roughly 10 years - both in the military and married - and I'm interested in returning home. Honestly, I've never looked into the nitty gritty of Greensboro from an outsiders perspective. And I wonder how much everything has changed since I left the next. I'm looking forward to experiencing it myself from an adult's point of view.

I currently work for the United States Post Office. I have a home in Rochester, NY, and although I love what it has to offer in terms of nature, I have a huge issue with our property taxes as well as just cost of living. So, I’m gonna come visit next year for a week and just acclimate as much as possible to see if Greensboro is right for me. Thanks for this video:)

Thanks so much for this video me and my boyfriend have a job offer and are moving out there in october, so nervous to be moving from Dallas! I’ve never been to Greensboro but I’m hoping for the best!

I disagree a bit on the weather. Coming from Texas, my idea of "hot" and "muggy" may be calibrated a bit different. It does get warm in the summer time, but only for a few weeks almost never above 100 degrees. And it gets nowhere near as muggy as a coastal town down further south. As far as winter weather, I have been here over twenty years and only recall a couple of significant ice storms. And it certainly snows here a couple times a year, more than I was used to in Texas. It doesn't stick around, but you may get a few days of freeze/thaw cycles meaning multiple mornings of slick roads even after a light snowfall. In general, I enjoy the four seasons of weather here without it getting either extremely hot or extremely cold.

I'm 53, single, looking at areas in NC, specifically Raleigh area/Wake Forest. The housing does seem more affordable over your way. Crime stats can be a deterrent. I just started looking at Montrose Village at Grandover,

I have to commute to Greensboro to work every day and the drive is a nightmare. Three school zones and slow drivers. Don't get me started about the "Sunday Drivers" they are another breed of slow. I drive fast and aggressive so driving here typically results in an angry and frustrated me once I get to my destination lol

Listen up guys. If You’re thinking about moving to greensboro.. DISREGARD THIS VIDEO! Greensboro is a great city with great people. If you were to use this lady’s logic then every city would be a bad city to move to. Each city has its “bad” traits. Ive been living in greensboro all my life and i have not experienced not ONE bad moment. BTW The comment about the crime rates…. they are generally limited to specific neighborhoods/areas. So if you’re trying to avoid that then move to another area! Dont generalize the whole of greensboro as dangerous. P.S if you live in this city then why talk down on it?

After 35 years trudging through snow delivering mail in Massachusetts no snow sounds great to me. I’ll blow my brains out if if I see snow in retirement. My property tax rate up here 1.67% and my crappy tiny house in greater Boston still will sell for at least 600k. The same house in Greensboro I could buy for about half that. Sound good to me. Now I have to convince the wife.

Michigan drivers drive very fast and waste more gas by doing so - even with gas prices at nearly $4 a gallon and fast going up. My cousin in Pennsylvania tells me any North Carolina driver caught going more than 75 mph on the interstate expressways is thrown in jail.

How cold does it tend to get during January and February? I am looking to move from Minnesota, and I’m interested in Greensboro as I would still have the four seasons but not quite so cold. Your summer temps seem similar and the property taxes are about the same.

Great Video & Information!!!

Everyone drives 15 miles over the speed limit here, so el wrongo about the slow drivers. We get practically no snow here, one or two storms a year that melt away in a few days. Rent is high but it's high in most cities and suburbs.

Thank you so much! I am planning on moving here with my husband and fur babies next month! And I definitely wanted some insight. I plan on buying a house out there as well!

I do not agree with what he says I live near the coliseum and near the hooters and I have never had any problem

Everywhere online led to me believe Greensboro is a good place. If I had understood how bad the crime was here and how people drive like maniacs while the roads are so narrow, hilly and curvy I wouldn't have moved here

Thank you so much for all your videos !! We are moving from California and arrive in two weeks !! We learnt everything we know girl your videos !! Hope we can meet you one day !!!!!

Moved to G.boro in Jan. 2019 from KY. Have not enjoyed it and have personally faced a lot of racism here as a Muslim family. We rent a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house and the immediate neighbors are nice, but down the street is a piece of work for lack of better words, almost weekly there is drama. Looking for a better area in G.boro.

Aha, here is the information on county versus city tax! From here in NJ, slow drivers there sound like a plus, and the tax rate is a welcome relief. Are there neighbors in Greensboro that have underground utilities, protected from storms and ice?

Thank you for the video it was good information on things I needed to know about Greensboro NC. I'm in the process with a Job offer there and needed to research the side of town that I would be living and working in.

I was in Greensboro last week visiting family and think "The Downtown" is very small and boring. Maybe, because I am water/lake/beach person.

Thanks for the video 👍

Transplant here, I also can't handle the driving. The congestion on the main roads (Wendover, Battleground) makes me want to rip my hair out sometimes. I've definitely seen the slow drivers, but you also get the occasional *psychotic* drivers who think that the city streets are their personal NASCAR track. At least once a month or so I see something crazy happening on the roadways such as big gangs of people doing wheelies and weaving through traffic, crazy guys in souped out sports cars speeding down the streets at 100 mph, or aggressive tailgaters who will bear down on you even when you are already going over the speed limit yourself. These things definitely happen more in my neck of the woods (south side) but I would imagine that they happen elsewhere as well. Its quite something to see.

Hi, thanks for your insights. We are moving to Greensboro soon. We are having a hard time finding a home that is not huge and geared to retirees. Would love your suggestions.

Thanks for this video. I'm relocating to greensboro from Georgia in July.

I lived in G-boro form 1994-2002. The 90's were cool but Greensboro experienced a mass exodus of young people between the ages of 25 to 35 beginning in 1995. Greensboro felt like a ghost town after 2001. It was such a sad city back then. Good luck.

Sorry. The drivers here have become very aggressive.

man this woman spoke all facts about gboro

You tell that shit girl! I feel the same way.

really good video. Thank You!

Former resident of 32 years. I HATED Greensboro for being a big college town that hates young people and does their best to destroy their fun. City council was always harassing nightclub owners and live music venues. Musicians from the area who became successful made it a point to say that they were from somewhere else.... Usually Chapel Hill. Also, it's a major capital for racism outside of the UNCG area. Glad to be away from that oversized bedroom town with it's boring architecture and questionable history. And no, it never was the Furniture Capital of the World.

Thanks for the information. I may have a job opportunity up in that area and I'm going proactive research. Would move from Tampa, but I'm used to the cold from my NJ days. I'd love to get more information, such as the music scene for part-time musicians, etc.

Moving there end of March and can't wait!

You are my Lady girl you need a star on that hair

Love it! Greetings from Dallas. I miss my city!

Grew up in San Diego and just North of Greensboro. I moved back to San Diego California ASA financially able... i do miss Greensboro...not in January though!!

She should say living in Greensboro with a stable and decent income. And I have felt unsafe on the "good " side of town whn I lived in Greensboro . Many times

City taxes going up and up!!!

Hello thank you for your video. I was wondering how do Greensborrowers look at foreigners? I'm from belgium and Indian. How would you be treated? I know weird question maybe...

"Down here" people are not going to like you if you want to do things like "you did UP there"

Really driving slow is a con. That’s silly and immature. We have four seasons and the weather is not really cold. It rarely gets under 30.

Hi, My family and I will be moving back to from Mobile Al in June👏🏽👏🏽 We would like to build a shipping container home do you have any information on the process of building one or a small home ?

So as someone who wants to move here from another country and plans to rent, what apartment complexes would you recommend?

Actually, Downtown Greensboro has the highest crime in the city, but this doesn't reflect in the stats because downtown makes up parts of every district. Drivers... Over 50% of Greensboro residents are from up north. Think about it.. Weather, check the 1990s and 1970s when we had huge snowstorms. They'll be back. Our bus system sucks because every route goes through downtown. Yes, property taxes are high, but our entire city council are relocated northerners.

Lol yes we all need a break from our children especially being trapped for 2 years 😂

Hi my boyfriend and I are moving from PA to Nc and we are interested in Greensboro but would like to know what are the safe areas to live in . We prefer a more suburban way of life . Do you have any suggestions ?

Hi thank you for this beautiful video ، i will move from Florida to Greensboro on December , how's the rent out there ?! And what's the best place to live in Greensboro thank you

What's so bad about Greensboro? Many northern guys like southern cities like Greensboro because it's full of hot southern belles. Folks in attendance at a recent UNC Greensboro vs. Oregon softball game on campus seemed like they were having a good time.

Great vid, I enjoyed your take on Greensboro NC. Im from Greensboro and I can stand it. Its so plain and boring. It has no real history or structures that set it apart from other places. The downtown is super small for a mid size city. It feels like its super behind when it somes to other cities its size. The best part of Gso in my opinion is the Uncg area.

I'm thinking of moving there, Can you please help me with 2 bedroom cheap & good neighbourhood community rentals?

Where is the good place to live im moving there in August I work for Publix and im looking to see what and who is the safest places to live.

I already live in Greensboro so uhm😐

Is this Emily Byrd?

I've lived in Greensboro since 2015, and I love it. I've lived all over the Eastern US, and Greensboro is delightful. The "crime rate" is literally isolated to a few small neighborhoods, which are easy to avoid. Any rational, law-abiding, sensible person would never visit those parts of town anyway, unless they were lost, or looking for trouble. All these other things this video complain about are just the whinings of a carpetbagging, entitled, Yankee :"Karen" who would never be satisfied no matter where she lived. This lady sounds like the type that could be living in Windsor Castle, and she would complain about the cold marble floors, and the fact that her neighbors lived too far away... The only REAL "con" to Greensboro is that the City Government and school systems are being completely infiltrated by "WokeVolk". She;'s spot-on with the high property taxes (compared to other places in NC), but they are REALLY low compared to other Democrat-controlled urban areas like DC, Baltimore, Chicago, or NYC. These "WokeVolk"in our government are working VERY hard to destroy economic development, give contracts to their cronies, and foster division and racial tensions in a city that otherwise is VERY diverse, friendly, cooperative, and cordial. Hopefully more people who are genuinely interested in Freedom, Liberty, Prosperity, and Cooperation will move to the Greensboro area, and we can take the wheel, and put this city on track for fulfilling it's great potential, before these WokeVolk turn it into another "Progressive" dystopia like Richmond VA, Baltimore MD, or Atlanta GA...

6th Con... It's next to High Point.

What zipcodes would you recommend that are safe , growing and things to do

Would be nice if people other than real estate agents do these videos. Every city, the same.

Can I know about part time jobs for international students?

There not slow drivers there high drivers.

I've lived here my hole life your right crime is the biggest thing on my street and some streets over are gang related because I live on woodmere drive and I know some people who carry firearms but they have unnecessary magazines and it's pretty wired just walking and seeing someone with high compassatiy magazines.

What do you think about westerwood neighborhood?

What about homeless people?

With closet crackheads, closet prostitution. And that's the working class females,this city is awful in finding someone to date.( there are plenty of one night stands) especially from corporate workers, but real substantial relationships 0 to none.

So how's the areas where the public housing is located??

I don't have a car but wanna move there,

No bike lines? that is a big plus

Greensboro is turning into a NYC borough..

Greensboro is beautiful, if you wanna go cross the tracks that’s on you

Hello mam can i ask you do you know nancy hamer cook .. Im from the philippines

"Why you may not live here"

GREENSBORO SUCKS,,,,,,,,

I am a broadcaster doing PA Announcing for HS basketball in Columbus, Ohio. I want to move to NC to either Greensboro or Charlotte. Can you tell me what the local public high school athletic conference is called. I plan to spend another year or 3 in Ohio before making the move. I am learning a lil bit at a time.

Greensboro has the worst drivers out of Durham, Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston Salem.. the whole 9 literally 🤣

Wow

What crime? Y'all got a long way to go before you have 8 murders on your street. I am from Memphis, lived here 11 years and have never feared for my life. I'll take 60 murders a year over 400 plus. As to traffic, you must not live off of Battleground. Honey, if you haven't experienced Saturday Biscuitville traffic you don't know what you talking about. Battleground and Wendover are the worst. Oh and y'all the roads make zero sense here. You'll be halfway to Asheboro before you realize you took the wrong exit. Your tranist is on time. Y'all have busses that tell you where they are in real time. It ain't MATA (it don't MATA if you get there or not-Memphis Area Transit Authority). I'll take high property taxes if it means my homeless neighbors can do laundry and shower. In Memphis you just see homeless people baking and peeing in the street in front of you. I day let's take care of one another is worth me paying $900/year (county and city tax combined in taxes). And weather here is fantastic. You have seasons. In Memphis you have 2 seasons freezing and nasty. And Memphis has year round mosquitos and West Nile virus. You want real misery go live in Memphis like I did for 13 years.

you live there ?

Check out Caswell County, NC

I'm from Greensboro it's okay but the schools are not that good.

Only the bad. Why someone shouldn't move here. It'd better than most other places. Crime is everywhere, and we driving. You say it's bad driving but we drive like civilized people obeying the law. Wtf? Weather is great here. You complain about driving getting around but you want snow instead of ice wtf. You stay active more and able to travel without travel issues. Summer is hot that's typical. You say hey its icy and it's hot. Wtf that's life weather don't stop you. I don't get the point of this. Completely asinine smh. We country folks that treat people with recognition and respect. I Completely don't understand your logic. People in the country typically have a care. Move to New York and wait but you say driving is slow. Wtf I just wish you didn't sound stupid

bs traffic sucks

I ❤️ Greensboro. N.C. U sound confused...

Truly how is race relations?

Thug town

This lady is a con… she has know idea what she is talking about. I would definitely do more research on anything she suggests or go grab a second opinion.

Bad info here. Do your own homework.

She needs to move out of Greensboro I love Greensboro She don’t know what she is talking about

THIS WOMAN SOUNDS TO MUCH LIKE A SORRORITY GIRL TRYING TO SELL YOU ON THE COLLEGE SHE GOES TO. I REALLY MISS THE GRITTINESS OF YESTERDAYS MAN AND WOMAN FROM MY MOTHERS GENERATION WHO TAUGHT ME SO WELL ON HOW TO CARRY MYSELF.

You better watch your mouth

Thug town
