Greensboro

With more than 75 restaurants and 30 bars & breweries to enjoy in Winston-Salem’s walkable downtown, there’s always something new to discover. Throughout town, you’ll find everything from family-owned restaurants to incredible fine dining. Further out, Winston-Salem is the gateway to the Yadkin Valley Wine Country region which is home to more than 70 wineries within a short drive of the city.

​

Winston-Salem offers big-city amenities in a place that’s small enough to make your mark. There are endless sports, activities, entertainment, and community events to explore. You’re guaranteed to get moving with more than 3,500 acres of parks and recreation, and 25 miles of greenways and trails.

​

Welcome to Greensboro, North Carolina, where business, education, culture and recreation thrive! We are excited to present “Greensboro Lifestyle,” designed to highlight some of Greensboro’s unique assets. Although separate organizations, The Greensboro Chamber of Commerce and the Guilford Merchants Association recognize and embrace the power of collaboration when it comes to making Greensboro an even better place to live.

​

From our strategic location at the intersection of several interstates and major highways, to our vibrant downtown scene, to our well-deserved reputation as “Tournament Town,” Greensboro offers visitors and residents alike plenty to do… and it’s easy to get here! Our city is a center for business where many world-renowned companies have major operations.

 

With seven colleges and universities within city limits, Greensboro is a college town. In an increasingly knowledge-based, global economy, Greensboro is well positioned with its higher education assets. To extend the impact of these assets, Opportunity Greensboro, a business and collegiate partnership, was created. Opportunity Greensboro works to create and implement results-oriented programs and activities to enable a competitive advantage for business growth and community prosperity. Add to that a growing research park and a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit, and you have a city that is poised for present and future success.

​

Greensboro offers a fantastic quality of life for all, and with all that Greensboro has to offer, it is easy to love living and working in Greensboro!
