"The "happening" side of town"

Basically, the main parts of Salisbury are divided into W. Innes and E. Innes. And the east side of this street is definitely the better place to hang out.

This area appears to be a newer building, be more well kept, and much safer. Because of all this, the better shopping and restaurants are on this side of town. Some examples of retail include: Circuit City, Old Navy, Lowe's, and Walmart. The movie theatre is also on this side of town.

Obviously, since this town is already small, it means that the majority of "life" takes place on this side of the road. Therefore, I would definitely consider living near it to be more desirable.

"Just a small country drive"

Daves Drive is a very small road with only a few neighbors. Most people on this road are either related or know each other very well. This keeps the road extremely safe and very quiet.

Some people may not like living on a non-paved road. This is definitely a downside, but it goes with the atmosphere. Luckily, it also makes the road extremely private and secluded. It is great for kids being able to play in the yard or letting a dog run around.

Lastly, this is an excellent school district. East Rowan is one of the coveted areas to live because of school.

"Easy lake access"

Bringle Ferry Rd. is quite a long road, so your experience will vary depending upon the area you're on. Regardless, Bringle Ferry is a safe and quiet road and becomes even more so the further into the country you get.

The most desired place to live on this road would be at the lake area. Unfortunately, there are only two small restaurants and gas stations nearby. But most people consider this a small sacrifice if having the lake in their back yard.

"Quiet and peaceful in the country"

Depending how far down, Stokes Ferry Rd. may seem very simple. To some extent, it is. But the people and the community make living in the country worthwhile.

You may not have immediate access to all stores & restaurants depending upon your location. Even if you're really far down, the worst to expect would be 10 minutes away from town.

I would recommend this road to anyone. It is extremely safe, and there some great neighborhood or private lots.
