A fascinating blend of historic and hip

University Historic Urban Walkable Culture Art Shops Restaurants

Downtown Greensboro is at once charming and historic and hip and trendy. Its historic architecture lining wide sidewalks offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants, art studios, and theaters; its position just a few blocks east of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Greensboro College adds a youthful energy to the neighborhood. Residents and visitors can take a gourmet food tour or a history and haunts tour. They can explore the Blandwood Mansion or the Greensboro History Museum. They can catch a performance at the Carolina Theatre or the Community Theatre of Greensboro.

For a touch of the unique, Downtown Greensboro offers a variety of public art and murals. You may notice an abundance of coffee cup sculptures -- these were created to celebrate the sit-in movement of the 1960s. The eight bronze sculptures are located throughout the downtown area, and a self-guided walking tour takes visitors to all of them. The neighborhood is home to several parks, including the Downtown Greenway and Center City Park.

Would be an excellent neighborhood expect for the crime. Not happy about the purple line coming to our neighborhood and bringing in more homeless.
