Named for Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene, Greensboro is a charming city in central North Carolina that is currently home to around 300,000 people.  

The city lies along the rolling hills of the Piedmont region, nestled between the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountain ranges, each of which is easily within a few hours' drive. Greensboro is located roughly 80 miles from Charlotte and less than 250 miles from both Chesapeake, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.  

Greensboro’s mild weather and unique blend of big-city amenities and small-town charm have made it an increasingly popular choice among luxury real estate seekers.  

Residents and visitors alike enjoy Greensboro’s warm summers, with temperatures that rarely climb above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. While the area enjoys its fair share of snowfall during the winter, average temperatures rarely dip below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.  

The 226-acre municipal reservoir serves as a prime fishing spot and offers rowboat, canoe and kayak rentals. The area’s gently rolling hills provide miles of breathtaking trails which are easily accessible by hikers of all levels. 

Gardeners will also find plenty to love among the magnificent blooms of the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden and the Greensboro Arboretum. Residents can even enjoy the outdoors right in the middle of the city via a four-mile walking and biking trail called the Greenway, which loops around the center of Greensboro’s downtown area.  

Nature lovers seeking homes for sale in Greensboro are often drawn in by the stately pine and magnolia trees that line the city's tranquil streets. Greensboro also offers a wealth of nature trails, particularly in the Lake Higgins Watershed Park area.
