I am moving to Greensboro NC for work with my family. What is the best area to relocate to?

Web sites might be a good place to find an apartment or house to rent, if you want to go through the entire list to find one in your state and then city.

The best place to look for places to rent is to go to the yellow pages of your telephone book, look under property managers.

These individuals list properties for rent in certain areas, so make sure you select the areas in which you wish to rent.

Call several of the property managers listed there, tell them you want a list of properties that they have for rent. Some will fax, email or mail the list of local places to rent along with the address, number of bedrooms and bath rooms, amenities available, such as washer and dryers or gyms, the monthly rental of the unit. Most will include a rental application. These list will include the monthly rental required, if a lease or month to month agreement will be signed. They will also indicate if they will accept Section 8 vouchers. They will also indicate it they have disabled access, allow pets and if so the type allowed.

They might indicate a web site that you might visit to get their list of places to rent. It does not cost to get a rental list from a reputable property manager.

Some will require you to stop by their office and pick up the list. A lot of them post their list outside so the list are available 24/7 365.

Make sure you don't fall for the scams and purchase a list as 70%-80% of these list are composed of free list they have compiled. They are not the property managers of any property in most instances.

You might also google Property managers in whatever city or community you want to live in and see what comes up. Again do not pay for this information as it is free from reliable property managers.

You might consider obtaining a crime report from the city in which you would want to reside.

I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

We've lived in Greensboro for just over 2 years, having moved here from Cape Coral, FL and before that, Long Island, NY. I can tell you that Greensboro has some areas that are less than desirable, but overall, Greensboro is one of the best places to raise a family (and AOL states that, as well). The school district is not perfect, but one of the best that I've ever encountered. Good Luck with your move.

Awwww, Greensboro isn't so bad.

Here's a phone number: 336-373-2534. That's the number for Crime Analysis. Call them before you settle on a place, and they'll tell you how dangerous it is.

As a rule of thumb, West Greensboro, center city, and North Greensboro are all pretty safe and nice.

I don't know what kind of money you'll have, but here are some nice neighborhoods, arranged by cost (cheapest listed first)

-College Hill

-Westerwood

-Sunset Hills

-Lindley Park

-Fisher Park

-Guilford College

Good luck!

Google ACT scores followed by county names.

Even if your children are babies. (no need to look up best elementary schools).

Areas with the best ACT scores always seem to have the lowest crime, etc.

Get a good realtor with 10 years minimum experience in the area.

Burlington nc!! Its beautiful i live in durham nc:)
