Sanford

• Town in North Carolina
• Rating 3.56 out of 5  126 reviews

Current Resident: Sanford is awesome! I'm a really good friend with an acclaimed student who has been very active in the Sanford community and she has really brought me in to helping the community as well. She spent months getting bike racks in the town and I realize that she spent so much time and energy and put so much effort to get bike racks and it took this long, and I realized that I should get involved more too, and it's been such an amazing experience.

Greenwood Township

• Town in North Carolina
• Rating 3.56 out of 5  16 reviews

Parent: My town of Sanford lies in the middle of North Carolina. I love this location because I can drive 3 hours southeast and be at the beach or I can drive 4 hours west and be at the tallest peak east of the Mississippi (Mt. Mitchell). I'm glad my parents moved to this area because the community is family-oriented and everyone looks out for each other. The crime rate is low and you can trust people. The high school is challenging and I'm looking forward to going to college. I feel this area is only going to get better because jobs are plentiful. We have major corporations that have plants here. Moen, Pfizer, and Coty are a few of the companies here in Sanford. Although, I'll be attending somewhere in NC, I'll be coming back to Sanford, NC
