Winston-Salem Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 721 reviews
I moved to Winston in 2019. From moving to Charlotte and Greensboro and Raleigh, I have returned to Winston-Salem. Something keeps pulling me back! It is a city that has a profound highlight in the arts and culture. There are murals everywhere downtown, and plenty of local shops where artists showcase their work. With some digging, there is a place for everyone to grow and develop.
I am a born and raised Winston-Salem/Pfafftown native! I truly enjoy the art district downtown! There are so many restaurants and shops to explore and the area is always enhancing the atmosphere. There are also many places to hike and enjoy nature right outside of the city. Whatever your hobby may be, Winston-Salem has healthy places to enjoy it to the fullest.
I have lived in Winston my entire life. I love the city life! Winston has a lot to offer; new restaurants, old hole in the wall restaurants, great schooling, lots of amazing neighborhoods, walking trails that are safe and lets you escape into nature. I would like to see change within the traffic and commute within the city - roads are two lane and small which creates lots of traffic!
