Taylorsville

• Town in North Carolina
• Rating 3.17 out of 5  6 reviews

Current Resident: I like how Taylorsville, NC is a small town and everyone is friendly in the town. In the fall when leaves are falling you only have to travel about thirty minutes to see the color changing. Taylorsville is in the center of the big cities only take an hour and half to travel. I love the small business in Taylorsville and the people support each other. The one thing I would like to see change is bring more eating diners and shopping centers. Taylorsville need to give the young people something to do in the county.

Wittenburg Township

• Town in North Carolina
• Rating 3.7 out of 5  10 reviews

Niche User: For a country-dweller, my city would be amazing. It has a quiet, quaint atmosphere where everyone knows everyone. I love that. I feel very safe here and welcomed. However, I do love the big city life so if I could choose to live anywhere in the country, it would not be Taylorsville, but it would be a close second.

Taylorsville Township

• Town in North Carolina
• Rating 3.26 out of 5  23 reviews

Current Resident: Having lived in Taylorsville, NC for my 18 years of life, I feel that I have certainly seen the pros and cons of this town. I love how everyone knows each other–– most people truly are kind and helpful. This town could be a stock photo of southern hospitality. Small businesses are abundant here, including small pharmacies, boutiques, health cliniques, and restaurants. However, I would like to see the aesthetics of the town improved. I feel that much can be done considering beautification. This could bring in more revenue from other cities.

Hiddenite

• Town in North Carolina
• Rating 3.43 out of 5  7 reviews

Current Resident: Great place too live and good for raising the family. Quite an easy to get to larger towns. Just at the foothills of the mountains with the easy quick access to the blue ridge parkway. Makes it good for a hiking and seeing the leaves in the fall.
