The little country area is very boring with nothing to do. It is definitely nothing like Winston-Salem. There are very little stores, so you would have to drive five million miles to go shopping. For me, it takes over an hour total. On the bright side, there is barely any theft (at least in my neighborhood), no garbage around the streets in Advance, no problems with other people in the area, and it is extremely quiet. There is a fire department truck in the area, but I about 10 minutes away from there. So, their sirens do not reach my house. The only thing I really hate is the deers. I actually damaged by car at night because a deer came out of nowhere. Now I will say, at dusk, dawn, and night, always be on the lookout for deer. About once a week there's another dead alongside the road due to being hit by a car.
This was the perfect place for me to move to from South Florida, especially as a single mother. The cost of living is outstanding, it is safe and the residents are kind and helpful. It is tucked away from the crowds of Winston Salem, but still within 30 minutes if you want to go there. I am close to great schools, hospitals, Tangelwood Park (which is huge and well-known for it's massive Christmas Lights Display), shopping centers, and only 1 hour from Charlotte Airport.
Great area--schools, access to healthcare, restaurants and more! The area is growing and more will be available in the near future. The town is located in Davie County, NC and is close to Winston-Salem.
