Worked EMS in High Point for a while. I don't recommend going further South than the public library on Main street.
Iâm sure you had plenty of work lol
Can u tell me if the Randolph st. Area is good or bad , (it's by wise street)
Itâs depends on which part and how you define âgoodâ feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call if you need more info.
@@TobyRussell call the number in your bio? Is there a charge
Yep thatâs the one.
I thank u for ur honesty
I was there for a couple of years, I liked it well enough. I delivered food from restaurants to customer's houses. Met nice people everywhere except one wealthy fellow who looked down on me and NO tip.
Thanks for sharing
I was born and raised in High Point real good people and phenomenal BBQ.
Well it is close to the bbq capital. Lexington NC
Thank you for this informative video. Is the W English Rd strip near Planum Furniture generally safe?
Thatâs a very industrial and commercial area. Crime wise according to online reports it low but If serious if invite you to do a drive through the area to see what feel you get from it at different times of day.
I moved there from london in 2001, there for 3yrs...dont remember much other than oak hollow mall, steak street and the olive garden...amazing scenery though and everyone was more than friendly, always saying hello have a nice day god bless etc ⤠has it changed much?
Definitely. Oak hollow mall isnât even a mall anymore. And it appears high point university owns most of high point with all its colors throughout the city. Crime unfortunately is probably worse from that time period.
Thank you!
Hope it helps
I grew up in Archdale, NC so I knew....or used to know High Point very well. I've been back to that area a few times in the last 18 years & every time we go we are either appalled or surprised in how much High Point has changed. High Point University(HPU) has taken over A LOT of the areas.....even the old Oak Hallow Mall, street patterns have seemed to changed just a bit. Old places that we used to know seemed like empty streets & shells of places that once was. :-/ At least they still have the BEST BBQ!!!!!
Hey hey hey. As someone who lives on the edge of Lexington âbest bbqâ is fighting words lol.
As far as high point, yes itâs changed a lot over the years. Either built up or some parts are now being completely leveled due to being such bad areas.
Yeah I like archdale better
Lived on beaucrest ave. Was a beautiful street.
Hey neighbor lol i lived on briarcliff
You showed my house in emerywood it was the first house in your slide
Lol Thatâs because I already had the video from doing the walkthrough for one of my out of state clients. I try to reuse what I have when I can.

Your welcome đ¤
yeah, not sure if it's still as bad but 10-15 years ago it was a heroin hub (it was baaad even before fentanyl). Us Winston teenage junkies would make the near daily commute and old Greensboro road, I couldn't go anywhere near there, it was really bad attending Guilford tech, which is down the road. man, some of those hoods really scared me around high point university. tmk they were occupied back then. the whole area was patrolled heavily by cops.
yeah, that's how the drug deals work, you drive by another driver on a more secluded residential and do the exchange. ugh, it was not good as my friends would play with fire by shorting dealers this way.
I need to do a high point, NC high crime neighborhood video if i can find the stats for it.
Does anyone have an idea how much property tax and hazard insurance TYPICALLY runs on a 300k home in High Point?
Did you have a house in mind you were looking at? I can have my guy get you some numbers together.
Im seeing lots of one floor old houses for 50k in High Point. I wouldnât mind remodeling, but is it a safe neighborhood? zip code is 27260
The easiest way to tell that is to see what else is for sale or sold near them. If they are all 50,000 houses then thatâs the neighborhood. But Iâd itâs a 50,000 house in a 200,000 neighborhood then your probably better off.
Yes it can be but high point also has had bad drug problems far back as I can remember
Yes unfortunately

um ok.
"If you rent, do what you have to do" ummm.....some people prefer to rent vs pay a bank and insurance company for 30-40yrs for something they will
- never truly own due to the ability of gov entities capability to take the property and/or govern how you can use the property
- constantly be repairing or upgrading to maintain the value
- be forced to police the neighborhood and risk personal safety to keep out problems that can affect the property value
- will likely never see a positive return by selling.
Actually....The money saved by renting cam be put towards true profit earning investments
These are only a few valid reasons some way would rather pay $800(random number) a month to rent or lease a home rather than pay a bank for 10-15 years in hopes that when they actually begin paying towards true equity in a home it will be worth what it was initially and they haven't outgrown or desire a newer or different dwelling. A renter can live in a home 6-12 months and move to a different home if they desire without the hassle of paying someone as yourself to help them find another home to be tied to so the false belief that home ownership is part of the "American Dream" that was put in placed by greedy bankers when our government went to a finance system that almost put financial institutions out of business. Buying a house over 30-40 years is the worst financial decision or investment any American could make. Sure you probably make a living as a Realtor selling dreams but most " truly woke" wealthy or financially intelligent people will agree leasing any expensive asset such as a nice home or new car as well as other thought to be taboo spending practices is the only smart way to gain wealth and build a financial legacy to live on after your time on earth has ended.
I think most millionaires and billionaires will disagree but I can appreciate your point of view on continued cost of home ownership. Thanks for the comment.
@@TobyRussell most millionaires wouldn't need to finance a home 30-40yrs. Your average 100k-350k household benefits none by purchasing a home
yeah, you left out something about that millhouse area.
Iâm sure I left out a lot. But share with the group your thoughts.
Main Street in High Point is a great place to get shot these days. Crime is rampant, I grew up there. And back then it was a good blue collar town. I rarely go back now because it's in such bad shape.
Heck even a sheetz gas station shut down because of it and now they are tearing all the old abandoned buildings down.
Tackle and grapple!
I prefer pew pew
I'm from Thomasville. I don't know why anyone would want to live in High Point today because there's nothing there now. Do they even have furniture market anymore? The small cities of America are quickly becoming places you retire to, not work and raise a family in.
Thats for watching Chris
Thereâs more now than thereâs ever beenâŚ
also laurel oaks is good they go to ledford high
Yeah there are plenty of people that love the Ledford school district.
We are the Furniture Capita of The đđđđđđđđđđđđđ
Thatâs right! What else does the world need to know about high point?
@@TobyRussell well they are rebuilding Daniel Brooks apartments I use to live over there for a long time in a one bedroom apartment once they finish they are going to be gorgeous just like they did Clara Cox apartments which is now called Parkside I use to live over there also
High Point is just like any other mid-sized to large cities. Some parts are nice and safe, others arenât. Iâm confused though about all of the complaints about HPU.
HPU is probably bringing more money to the area that the furniture industry so i dont know why people would be upset over that either
Isn't Boeing located in High Pointe
Greensboro has a Boeing Distribution Services Inc. itâs right beside of high point.
Any multi units, 3+
I just bought one that was a home run but they are few and far between for what I paid. Give me a shout and let talk about what your looking for

High point gone to hell In a hen basket its all about high point university college don't move here lived here my whole I'm getting out as soon as I can afford to move to the mountains of NC much safer then here
Don't order a deluxe or a royal or anything like that from sir pizza.
They use all the soggy toppings that fell down into the make table and just throw it all on top of the pizza.
And that's not even the worst part about that place.
Noted.
You're wrong. The Deluxe and Royal Feast are a mix. But............. it can be soggy. I'll grant you that.
@@jeffparris8387 I've worked there and they keep a little pan next to the make table to scrape up and collect all of the dropped bullshit toppings for re-use on those pizzas.
@@jeffparris8387 there was one time I even seen the manager pick toppings off of a pizza that was already cooked to be re-used. It didn't go out to a customer beforehand. I don't want to give that impression... Still pretty disgusting though, by my personal standards.
@@thelakeshorestrangler2323 Which one did you work at and who was the manager? Danny Butler never pulled that crap. Neither did Bobby Rabon
High point is not a good place to live. I don't know what you're talking about đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł it's a death trap
Itâs has better parts and areas that arenât so good. Iâve been planning to do a video on worst places in high point but I havenât gotten to it yet. Got any suggestions of areas to include?
Great place to get shot.
Gun point tx
Are you from the area or looking to move to NC?
Excuse me , what do you mean by " FLAKE" ?
Where at in the video?
I would say its got its ups and down dpending on the areas, and neighborhoods but if you dont mess with them they wont mess with you. And i say let you be you. i heard nc dont like other people from other states living in nc but hey, its a free country if your offended then live somewhere else. Thats just my theory.
I dont know about people here not liking people from other states. Iâd say itâs probably the views, political and otherwise, that some states have that might make North Carolinians say that but in fact thatâs also more than likely the reason someone would also be moving from that state into this one for more shared points of view. Come overâŚ
all I have to say is stay away from the hoods and you will be straight high point is a decent place to stay
Which part would you like others to know about thatâs a great place to live?
@@TobyRussell do you know where laurel oak ranch is itâs closer to the Hartley YMCA and off W Lexington going towards old Greensboro road
@@kidpeso1406 I do. I just went to look at a home not far from there a day or so ago.
It's all starting to look like hoods. My friend had a gunshop on Main Street, they robbed him and stabbed him through the neck a couple of years ago. He died for nothing. I hope they fry the little punk that did it. R.I.P. Jack.
I was also born in HP and spent most my life living on this very diverse city. For years I hated High Point but those were years that I failed to appreciate the value of a city this size that isn't a pure cess pool as are many cities I've visited across the US
To answer the question high point is NOT a good place to live by a long shot. I do work there and I live in Raleigh. Jamestown is beautiful!
Wow thatâs a heck of a commute. I have a video come for the worse places in high point. Got any suggestions?
@@TobyRussell I work in the medical field and I would say that Main Street is a no no. Iâm in the worst of the worst neighborhoods of high point like Taylor ave.
Jamestown is better.
Anymore info into that youâd like to give people? Not that I disagree.
Better? Jamestown is lil Greensboro lol
HIGH POINT used to be great when hpu was much smaller. Its a dump know...
I dont know. HPU and the furniture market is what brings money into the town.
hpu ruined high point
God. I hate that dresser.
It could use refinishing lol.
Also I worked with Judy Mendenhall. President of the chamber of commerce. I loved high point was there for 10 years. Iâm originally from Wilmington. Great memories of city lake park with my kids rode the train and carousel also went to what I called the little park there was a Krispy Kreme close by my old neighbor Marie clapp brother Carson Bain was ex mayor of Greensboro. Many fond memories
Certain parts of it certainly have some charm.
