“Woodsy is the first word that comes to mind,” says long-time High Point resident Maggie Neah when describing the Greater High Point community. “When you live in the area, you’re not always right next to an urban part. You have trees and nature all around you.” Stretching up to High Point University’s stunning campus, homes in this area tend to be older and more affordable than other areas of Guilford County, especially for young professionals who commute to Greensboro, according to Neah. She says the area has expanded since she was a kid, and new businesses have felt the positive impact of that growth over the years, making this an even more desirable area to live in.
