+Safe, friendly, working-class, multi-color neighborhood.
+One guest described the neighborhood as "just like a big city."
+ Rhonda said: " The duplex is on the end of Green Street which is an ethnically diverse working-class area. Neighbors seemed friendly. Several evenings I came from work and all along the street families out in front yards sitting around in chairs/tables socializing. Kids out playing riding bikes . Area quiet at night.
+All the neighbors are friendly so be sure to say hello or wave.
Runners, joggers, and walkers, we are 2 blocks away from Perl Mill - Ellerbe Creek Watershed. Go out the front door and walk down the hill.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Enright
Two wonderful grandkids we enjoy spending time with. Love live music, MerlFest, FloydFest, Shakori Hills, Cats Cradle, MotorCo, and the local scene. Hiking, backpacking, and paddling. Trekked Nepal and climbed two High Passes, Renjo La and Cho La, as well as Everest Base Camp. All over 17,300 feet. A stellar adventure. Jim is delving more into cooking and simple pleasures. Finished the Colorado Trail in 2022, 485 miles.
