Forsyth County. Good living areas to be found inside and outside the city. Bad ones too.
Lots of deer & turkey in that area.
What exactly do you need to know?

Not God's country per se, but close enough that they share the same zip code.
Nice area. Head west about an hour and it gets even better.

Stay out of Winston Salem ( third world [bleep] ) and you will be OK. Smaller towns like Walnut Cove would be a little more to your liking.

Suburb of Winston in Davidson County is pretty conservative. I know a good gunsmith in the Clemmons area. Rural area around Trinity with county schools OK, but may be longer commute.

The area around the power plant is very nice, as are areas to the north and west.

I agree with what everyone else has said but will add to stay out of Greensboro as well.

Stokesdale, Belews Creek, Walnut Cove and Oak Ridge and Summerfield) there are a ton of nice towns. No need to go to Winston Salem or Greensboro unless you want a movie, big box store or a nice restaurant. Hell even WS,High Point or Greensboro are great places to live if researched right. I used to lease 500 acres right next door to Duke and am very familiar with that area.
