Spencer's downtown area serves as the city's main attraction, but it still maintains that small-town atmosphere that residents love about their city. Instead of one central location where everyone gathers, this neighborhood has a small cluster of shops and diners lining Salisbury Avenue.

Shopping options consist of independent retailers that welcome you with a smile. Find a stunning centerpiece for your apartment at Green Goat Gallery, with its paintings, sculptures, and jewelry. Walk over to Pinocchio’s Italian Restaurant and Wine Store for a well-cooked Italian meal. Make sure to end the night with some excellent gelato. If you want to settle in somewhere relaxed and friendly, downtown Spencer is a great choice. You have the attractions of Charlotte and Winston-Salem just a short drive away.
