Greensboro is the most amazing city! I was born here, and although I have traveled the world...this is where I call home! You are right in the middle of two larger anchor cities, with Raleigh one way and Charlotte the other. You can get to the mountains in under two hours, and to the beach in 3 hours flat. We were voted #1 in the United States for the least amount of traffic, so you know our city was designed well. We have breweries galore, tons of unique dining, and a brand new Tanger Center to watch Broadway style shows and performances.
