High Point NC Real Estate

High Point NC real estate and relocation info.

Named for its geographic location as the highest point on the North Carolina Railroad in 1859, High Point remains a center of commerce and growth. It has a unique ability to provide the opportunity and diversity of a large city with that small town feel. Known as the "Furniture Capital of the World", High Point is on everyone's radar for furniture shopping and offers numerous opportunities throughout the area for retail savings.

Twice annually, more than 83,000 members of the furniture industry come to town for the International Home Furnishings Market. Professionals are drawn to High Point from all 50 states and 100 countries. Residents know that for 10 days each spring and 10 days every fall, restaurants overflow and hotels are sold out, but the festive feeling of this international affair is all encompassing.

But, don't be fooled; High Point's industry is not solely hinged on furniture. Economic recruitment and a premier location within North Carolina have lured companies from other business segments. Companies such as Levolor, TransTech Pharma, Inc., and Banner Pharmacaps Inc. are headquartered in High Point. While other national corporations such as Aetna, U.S. Healthcare and Sealy have moved major operations here. Executives have found the pro-business environment, educated labor force and quality of life a winning combination.

The arts are alive and well in High Point. The N.C. Shakespeare Festival, which performs the best of the bard from August through October each year, is headquartered in High Point. At the High Point Theatre, you can take in the ballet or a performance by the High Point Community Theatre.

There are plenty of activities no matter what your interest. Want to absorb a bit of history? Why not visit the High Point Museum and Historical Park, the Peterson Doll & Miniature Museum, or Castle McCulloch, a 19th century castle that originally served as a gold refinery. The Furniture Discovery Center and the Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library provide "all you need to know" about the furniture industry. Enjoy the mile climate while boating on Oak Hollow Lake or hitting the links at the 18-hole Pat Dye Course. Shopping opportunities include the 70-plus furniture companies in the area as well as the charming local boutiques and Oak Hollow Mall.

Attracting new companies and new families to the area is an easy job. Wander through the winding streets and elegant homes of Emorywood only minutes from downtown High Point. Explore the picturesque neighborhoods located on Oak Hollow Lake, and ride through the new home developments strategically cropping up between High Point and Greensboro.

With so much to do, High Point remains a city with many opportunities and attractions for relocating families. It's location in southeast Guilford County, abundance of wonderful housing and neighborhoods, strong schools, low crime rate, and its many cultural and recreational activities make High Point a premier relocation destination.
