A close-knit rural community
Pleasant Garden is an expansive rural community covered in railroad tracks and rolling farmland. The bucolic community was settled in 1786 and was slow to develop, not officially incorporated until 1997. Now home to just over 5,000 residents, this community features the close-knit feel of a small town in the scenic countryside. "Pleasant Garden is a prime location to live a more country-centered life," says Jasmine Bowen, the town's recreation and events coordinator. "It's as close as you can get to being off the beaten path while not too far from everything."
Pleasant Garden offers rural living only a short drive from downtown Greensboro.
Pleasant Garden was first settled in 1757.

Established housing and big, private lots
"There are some really nice homes here with huge lots. I have a friend who lives at the dead end of a street surrounded by woods and absolutely loves it," Bowen says. Houses include ranch styles and traditional colonials from the 1940s through the late '80s. Pleasant Garden is predominantly rural, so residents are scattered on big, woodsy lots. While some property owners have about a half-acre, others have upwards of 15. And a few farms cover over 50 acres. Housing prices range between $200,000 to $500,000, with larger lots having higher price tags. Homes typically last about a month on the market before selling.
