Relocating to Clemmons

Summer 2019 will mark two years since Phil and Linda Parker and their two boys (aged 7 and 5) left Orlando, Florida, and relocated to Clemmons, NC.

“I actually grew up in Burlington, but I was working in Florida when I met my wife,” said Phil. “We spent the rst part of our marriage there before we relocated to the Triad for my job at RJ Reynolds.”

Phil’s colleagues highly recommended Clemmons as a great place to raise a family. The Parkers agreed. “Clemmons is such a family-friendly location,” said Phil. “We could not have asked for a better location. Our neighborhood is one of the greatest blessings, and we have great friends with kids around the same age. We are happy to be settled in a quiet and laid-back kind of community.”

The Parker family continues to enjoy the convenience to Winston-Salem, Charlotte, the mountains, and Tanglewood Park. Phil shared, “Clemmons is the perfect spot to enjoy everything NC has to offer! We have found our forever home, and we are so happy to raise our family here.”

Life in Clemmons is, in a word, idyllic. We have so many convenient amenities of a large community, combined with the charm of a small town. So it’s little wonder that the Village of Clemmons is thriving – a popular relocation destination for those who are moving to the Triad. Three Clemmons residents have offered to share their relocation stories!

THE FOX FAMILY

Dave and Lynette Fox are from Rochester, New York, but 11 years ago, Dave’s job relocated him to Forsyth County.

“We didn’t know anyone,” shared Lynette. “It was a huge change for us to leave our family and friends in Rochester to move to the South, but our realtor was a huge help.”

The Fox family chose Clemmons because of the rural feel. The fact that the Village of Clemmons has a low crime-rate was also a factor.

Clemmons has become home for the Fox family, and according to Lynette, they never plan to leave. They now have three sons aged 10, 7, and 20 months old. They continue to love the convenience and hometown feel of the Clemmons community.

THE GALLOWAY FAMILY

Rebecca and Steve Galloway are no strangers to relocation. They met in Lafayette, Louisiana, but have also lived in Connecticut and Florida. An investment in four local Dunkin’ Donuts locations brought them to NC.

“We have a 29-year-old son who is married with a baby living in Connecticut and a 26-year-old daughter who is in Florida,” said Rebecca. “So we moved to Clemmons as empty-nesters, but our lives here have been anything but empty!”

The Galloways, along with their dog and two cats, moved to Clemmons in the spring of 2017 and they’ve quickly fallen in love with the community.

“It is so easy to get involved here,” said Rebecca. “We didn’t know anyone in Clemmons, but we chose our house because we loved it. However, little did I know how many bene ts would come from choosing Clemmons! This is such an amazing community – there is something for every age, and we love the centralized convenience of Clemmons. There is great shopping nearby and the convenience of the interstate helps us get to any of our four businesses very quickly.”

From the people to the food to all the NC experiences waiting to be discovered, the Galloways feel like they’ve come home in Clemmons.

A special thank you to the Fox, Parker, and Galloway families for sharing their stories with our readers. If you are considering relocating, consider Clemmons. The opportunities it affords make it a wonderful community to consider.
