What it’s like
The place. Pleasant Garden is a small town in Guilford County, and most homes here are lived in by their owners, a good deal more than across the county as a whole. Household incomes run well above the county's, and typical home values sit at a comfortable level for the area. Winters are cool and summers warm, with only a little snow and a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and professional and business services also common. Across Guilford County, some of the largest workplaces are Guilford County Schools, Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Commutes are fairly long, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Hagan Stone Park, a protected area in or beside town, offers green space close to home. A short drive away in Greensboro are the Carolina Theatre of Greensboro and the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. For a longer outing, the North Carolina Zoo is a longer drive away.
