Furniture capital of the world seeing revitalization
A 36-foot-tall chest of drawers towers over Downtown High Point, serving as a nod to the city’s title as the furniture capital of the world. Condo complexes, mill homes and new traditional houses mingle near expansive furniture stores, trendy food halls and performing arts centers. The downtown district has seen a rejuvenation in recent years through an influx of new businesses and investments. “A lot of people are moving into the area because of the increase in jobs,” says Landon Stone, a real estate agent with BORO Realty Group. “High Point University has also invested a lot in the area, which has led to a boom in development and newer homes, encouraging more and more people to live here.”

Remodeled bungalows and new condo complexes
“The area is really up and coming,” says Roberta Brinkley, a broker with Majestic Realty and Property Consultants. “The area has a lot of older established homes, so it still has that touch of nostalgia, but there’s also new condominiums being built.” Smaller 1,000-square-foot mill homes and bungalows with modest front lawns are starting to undergo complete remodels or modern upgrades. With lower square footage comes lower price tags, typically in the low to mid $100,000s. Two-to-three-bedroom condo complexes are popular for those who want to avoid lawn maintenance and be within walking distance of surrounding amenities. Those properties, along with new builds featuring one- and two-car garages, are priced around $300,000.

Vibrant murals and newly built splash pad
Tucked just inside the gates of Truist Point is Blessing Park, one of the first projects completed as part of a downtown revitalization plan. Locals can take in views of the stadium or take their kids to the splash pad to cool off during the summer. There’s something for pups, too. A dog run gives them a place to stretch their legs or rehydrate during a walk. Washington Street Park features a fenced-in playground shaded by mature trees and picnic tables perched under pergolas. The Pit Mural Park has become a fixture in the community and a popular spot for selfies. Once a two-story parking garage, the deck was demolished and left behind a pit that's now the site of a revolving door of innovative murals painted by local artists.
