What are the best places to buy a home in the Triad? Small towns.  That’s according to Niche.com, a Pittsburgh-based company that provides research and reviews on K-12 schools, colleges and neighborhoods.

Niche’s 2017 Best Places to Buy a House survey ranked The Town of Bermuda Run as #1 in the Piedmont Triad and #4 in the state of North Carolina. Lewisville was ranked #7 and Clemmons was listed at #16.

The rankings provide a comprehensive assessment of the housing and community of an area. This grade takes into account key factors of a location’s housing market, including home values, taxes, crime rates, and quality of local schools, in an attempt to measure the quality and stability of an area’s real estate market. Data for the list comes from the U.S. Census Bureau, FBI and Niche.

Bermuda Run received an overall grade of an A as well as A’s for housing, jobs, outdoor activities, and being a good place for families.

According to Lee Rollins, Bermuda Run Town Manager, “We recognize that the Town of Bermuda Run has a lot going for it, but it sure is rewarding when others outside of our community recognize it too.”
