Couple moving to Greensboro from out of state

Been meaning to ask this. It's a a mid-size city city with about 299K people. Crime rate is something to consider — Greensboro sits at 818.7 per 100K. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Is this normal for Greensboro?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Baltimore about 1 years ago. The main reasons were work and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:

- Good healthcare facilities

- Active local events and festivals

- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:

- Winters are long and cold

- Urban sprawl is real

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is decent.

Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
