High Point Reviews
Rating 3.51 out of 5 310 reviews
High Point is a great place to retire or work as a young adult, and own or rent a home. There are greenway trails and a large park, Washington Park, near me. All the shopping in the bargain- and mid-range is abundant and easy, parking is easy, and people are friendly and helpful. As a senior I feel safe here in the shopping and restaurants areas at night. There is also a lot of civic fun and learning activities for children and adults with disabilities. I love the hispanic, anglo, Black, and Asian diversity of my community and we interact well. More trees and landscaping needed Downtown, but that is planned. Internet could be faster with more alternative providers to lower rates. Bus drivers are friendly and I wave to the city bus driver whenever they pass by, and she waves back. Teachers work hard and parents need to improve their child's readiness to learn in order to take full advantage of that. It is nice to have lakes and reservoirs nearby for fresh breezes and sunsets!
I have lived in High Point, North Carolina, my entire life. The population of High Point is 113,148. The majority of High Point is in Guilford County, but some parts are in Davidson, Forsyth, and Randolph counties. High Point is the only city in North Carolina that extends into four counties. The City of High Point was so named because it was the highest point on the North Carolina Railroad when it was established in 1859.
High Point is known as the Furniture Capital of the World. The largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world is held in High Point during April and October each year.
I love living in High Point and, in particular, in North Carolina. The beach is only three to four hours away, while you can take a trip to the mountains in about two hours. My entire extended family usually spends a week at the beach every summer.
I really would not want to change anything about High Point. It offers everything you could want in order to have a happy life.

Growing up in High Point, North Carolina, I have always been told that "This is the ideal state to live in." I'm assuming they meant all the other cities that surround High Point. High Point is recognized for its illustrious furniture market and High Point University, the only 2 things it seems like our city cares most about. Two times a year a swarm of upper-class foreigners from across the world enters the third poorest city of North Carolina, while High Point University has created a 400 million expansion plan in the same community, where families are struggling to put food on the table for their children. Living in 27260, it's difficult to see the people you've grown up with suffer financially since we are put in an environment to live in poverty while the wealthy cave us in. With all the cons living in High Point, I've been here my entire life and I love my city, my community and connections I've formed; I'm grateful to be here and will always call this place home.
