These top ranked communities are within an area with affordably priced houses on safe and beautifully lined streets. The communities with the small-town feel offer significantly lower crime rates compared to many other locations within the state, so families of all types always feel welcome and secure.

 

Searching for a home north of downtown can be more a little more expensive, but not impossible to afford. It is important to realize that the prices inflate more than the average mortgage in the downtown Greensboro area.

Evaluate which location in the Greensboro area is most suitable for you.
