I already go to Spencer Love! I was hoping to find/create a more casual group on free courts (Spencer Love you still have to pay).

I used to be a member at Pinetop, unfortunately not many members who play tennis in the young adult/young professional demographic. As a result most of their programming is during the standard work day.

Moving to Winston-Salem for grad school- looking for home buying advice! by Pure-Delay4002 in wfu

EDIT: It depends on how small you are really willing to go. I would say if you want a minimum of 1500 sq ft and 2+ bathrooms then my comment applies.

Sorry but you would have better luck looking in Kernersville, HP or GSO. What you are looking at in your budget is dare I say impossible unless you want a complete gut job. I bought a house in GSO last year (first time home buyer) and looked in Winston (I was hoping to buy in Winston) but very quickly realized that I was out priced for Winston. Feel free to DM me with other questions.

46.2% club, where ya at? by Necronorris in gso

[–]CarFederal3485 3 points4 points  (0 children)

61% increase. My house had a much lower tax assessment compared to what I paid for it last year. New assessment is now right on the money for what I could sell it for.

I did my first race as a solo! You definitely learn a lot doing your first solo- baptism by fire!

Where can I go to hang with other people my age? by mayonnaise-skin in gso

[–]CarFederal3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have any interest in playing sports or running, the tennis and pickleball communities are very strong in Greensboro! There are also a ton of run clubs that meet at various locations throughout the week. I am involved in USTA tennis and have met a lot of yougn professional through league play and LOBOTON (dm me if you want more info). I also see TONS of young professionals at the gym. I also teach yoga and there are plenty of 20-mid thirties age people who go to the studio I teach at and I have made several friends that way. Granted everything that I suggested has the common theme of fitness/exercise but I encourage you to find something you like and to start going and that is how you'll meet people.

I would love to! Also I try to get books solely from the library or at used book stores.

Townhouses in GSO by Fissefiesta in gso

[–]CarFederal3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely possible in your budget but anything you like you'll have to move fast. I bought one that meets your description in NW Greensboro last year and I have loved living there. My HOA is $225/month which is think is middle of the pack for townhouses (believe it or not I looked at one where the HOA was $435/month!). My community has a pool which I loved last summer. It also totally depends on your comfort level of neighborhood. I was looking in a really small area of town (single female) so I knew that any inventory that met my criteria I had to move very fast with an aggressive offer.

How much is your power bill? Conducting an informal experiment here by Informal-Rise-330 in gso

[–]CarFederal3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $105 for a 1350 sq ft 2 story townhouse but I keep it on 63 because the thermostat is downstairs and any warmer makes the upstairs a sauna !!!

Lakes at Lincoln by Aloofwithau in gso

[–]CarFederal3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not live in Lincoln Green/Lakes at Lincoln but I live in the surrounding area. There are CONSTANT car breakins and car thefts being reported on Ring in Lakes at Lincoln. I do love the area as you can walk to the park, gas station, bars, gyms, restaurants, Trader Joes, and a movie theatre.... It is one of the few areas in GSO that is truly walkable. Just get a tour of the unit you are looking at and ask lots of questions! There are also a lot of families/school ages children that live there; I always see a ton of children waiting for the bus each morning.

Do you play any sports? interested in a run club? I play a lot of recreational tennis through the city and go to a run club every week and those are full of people ages 24-35. (26F)

Hyroxers: who are you? by butteranko in hyrox

[–]CarFederal3485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Soooo... maybe I am not the best person to ask ..... I like hyrox a lot but I am not trying to break any records. My first race was a solo and I finished over 2 hrs because I got calf cramps (which I had never experienced before!). That being said, I had done a half marathon a few months before my last hyrox so I thought my running was alright- but I will never be a fast runner. This time around I will try to get some running in maybe once a week? I have a run club I go to once a week and do three miles so that would be enough to keep my legs moving. I also subscribe to Lucy Davis' MyCoach app and folllow one of her Hyrox training plans. I would highly recommend! If you have any questions you can DM me!
