3 Reviews & Comments About Greensboro
It is pretty safe. Some areas are not safe closer to downtown communities. The schools are average here with the school district trying to improve. There is so much to do with shopping centers like the Friendly Shopping Center, city-sponsored events such as food trucks, festivals, competitions, museums, nature activities, etc.
My favorite place to go to is Bur Mil Park It is very pretty to walk around and has tons of recreational activities to participate in.
The crime was relatively low. I lived in a suburban area.
The park nearby was very nice. As well as the local food.
Crime getting worse. Downtown booming with lots to do.
Downtown. Core area.
