    Looking at moving down to the Greensboro area. I’m a single, 22 year old male. Does Greensboro have a good night life atmosphere or would you recommend a different surrounding city? I look forward to your response and hopefully will be in contact with you about purchasing a home!

      I hope you do move here! There is a night life here - but nothing compared to RD or Charlotte. We're a much smaller city. But there are clubs, bars, etc. I'm also a 46 yo mom that's tired and that's not my scene anymore--unless it's bumping at 2:00 in the afternoon - so I can be in bed by 9 🤷‍♀🤣

      @@missionaries7575 For some reason we do have a higher crime rate per capita - but if you go to crimemapping.org then you can see where it is localized. I dislike that this town gets a bad wrap about this - because it's a fab place and I don't see these things happen.
