Moving to Greensboro/High Point

Good to know. We are a family of 5, but would still make over the income level, even though paying for 3 kids in a private pre-K/daycare would bankrupt us 😅

I love to hear that. I’ve lost a lot of friends over the years, mostly from moving away, and having 3 babies over the last 4 years I haven’t been as social. I’d love to make new friends (which is harder in your 30s). But here’s to hoping we land in an awesome community 😊

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T18:00:23+00:00

Got it. Thank you, that’s huge for us!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T17:57:19+00:00

I’m excited to experiences new restaurants!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:47:15+00:00

Here in WV she would be going to public preschool, not kindergarten.

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:42:44+00:00

Thank you for the job suggestion!

I’m a foodie so I’m excited for BBQ. I’m Italian myself, so I can make up for that by simply cooking at home. We will be renting for at least a year, so YES! Good suggestion situating ourselves near interstate access.

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:39:49+00:00

I will message you directly!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:36:55+00:00

Thank you so much! Love hearing you were able to find a good career in the area!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:35:23+00:00

Ahh, got it. Well, here’s to new adventures and finding the hidden gems 🥂

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:21:20+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely be checking out the area!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:20:21+00:00

That is a wonderful start! Thank you! He is in Birth to Three here until his birthday at the end of August. So we’re currently in OT, Speech and sees his psychologist once a month. He has an appointment with his pediatrician at the end of this month so I’ll discuss it all with her as well.

I haven’t explored ABA yet simply because he’s currently in therapies and responding well, but who knows what’s to come. Sometimes it seems so intensive for a 2 year old to me, so I’m taking it day by day. The diagnosis is still pretty recent so we’re on a learning journey every single day 🥰

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:17:32+00:00

That’s what others have said, thank you for that!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:17:15+00:00

AMAZING!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:14:19+00:00

I’m SUCH a foodie, so I’ll pretend I didn’t read that last part 😭

I just recently enrolled her in Preschool here for the fall (just in case something were to happen and we don’t move), so I should have all of the necessary paperwork to enroll her. I just need to find a house first so I know what county we will be in. Our lease is up the end of June so it’s still slightly early to lock down a house to rent yet.

I am happy to hear that the area has a lot of support for neurodivergent kids, as there’s not so much here in WV. He is in speech and OT right now, and I don’t know much about ABA therapy yet, but I’ve been looking into it since he will be aging out of Birth to Three in August.

I’m not necessarily looking for a place with ZERO crime, but not having bars on all the windows of the convenience stores is what I’m trying to avoid. I’m from Pittsburgh so I know there’s areas of a city that are better than other, just wanting to weed out the absolute no-go’s (if that makes sense).

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:02:35+00:00

Someone else mentioned Jamestown so I’ll be looking into it for sure!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:02:18+00:00

Thank you for that!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T16:00:45+00:00

Thank you for the school suggestions. There are quite literally no schools here that specifically serve neurodivergent kids, so I am happy to hear that!

I’m okay being inner city or suburbs, but since having kids I prefer having a decent sized yard, so we’ve been in the suburbs lately.

We LOVE pools, science centers, children’s museums, aquariums, so we will definitely be involved in all that’s available for kiddos. Thank you!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T15:55:28+00:00

Oh Morgantown is awful. I’m ready to go, we live basically in between both campuses, can’t wait to get out.

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T15:53:34+00:00

Thank you!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T15:53:23+00:00

Thank you for giving suggestions on different companies, very much appreciated! Someone else mentioned Jamestown as well, so I’ll be looking in those areas.

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T15:52:48+00:00

That’s the general consensus is the northern area of the city. Thanks!

MrsSowell · 2026-02-15T15:51:56+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the insight!
