yall pretty much confirmed what i was thinking stay away from the city, not much of a city person anyway, ive been trying to research the smaller towns but not much online, im heading down in a few weeks to look at the area and was looking for a few of the smaller towns to check out. thanks all for the info
Plenty of nice areas to live in that area PLENTY. 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.
