Nicknamed the “City of Roses” in 1920 by train passengers who noticed the abundance of rose bushes lining the tracks outside their windows, the small town of Gibsonville, North Carolina, has a longstanding history associated with agriculture and the railroad industry. In the years since, residents have embraced their neighborhood’s historical roots and have managed to maintain its close-knit community feel despite a recent influx of residents into the area from those looking to get away from city living in Greensboro, located roughly 20 miles west. “It’s a great neighborhood for families with children that like to be outside playing at parks, in a place where they can feel safe,” says area resident Leysan Ayala Carbonell, a Realtor with Keller Williams Central. “Downtown Greensboro can be very crowded, while Gibsonville is very quiet and more family oriented. Everyone knows everyone.” While quiet, Gibsonville is not lacking in locally owned amenities. “It’s growing really fast, and there are a lot of restaurant options and community events,” Carbonell says.
