Crime rate / safety - the occasional dipstick breaks into a car around here, and of course there was this:
murder in Clemmons Other than that it's great.
Politics - you have either extreme, but a LOT of moderates here
Cost of living - Excellent....all y'all Californians need to move to NC.
Cost of housing - Clemmons is maybe a little pricier than Winston-Salem, but not too bad.
Population - about 20,000
Rural- suburban- urban - suburban for sure
Climate - We actually do have all 4 seasons here.
Terrain - slightly hilly. Drive an hour to the West, it's mountainous...Drive 4 hours to the East (where I'm originally from) and you have the beach
Traffic -
fine unless it's snowing...then it's best to stay off the roads.
What you like/ dislike - I LOVE the school system here, and the family atmosphere.
Would you leave or are you a lifer - I plan on being a lifer....granted not in this house...it's a split level, and you have to take the stairs anytime you want to leave or enter the house. Just not something I want to have when I'm 95.
