Steady Growth - Compared to Raleigh or Charlotte, Greensboro has slower growth, which means lower construction volume, which may affect contractor availability for specialized trades
Aging Infrastructure - Many homes in Greensboro have aging plumbing, electrical systems, and potential foundation hazards.
Stormwater and Drainage - Greensboro has clay-heavy soils and areas prone to poor drainage or runoff problems, particularly in older neighborhoods.
Zoning Complexity - The city is currently modernizing its Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to allow greater infill, ADUs, and mixed-use development, but some zoning rules remain restrictive.
Labor and Material Costs - Compared to major metros, Greensboro offers more affordable contractor rates, and is centrally located for material supply lines.
Historic Preservation - There are several designated historic neighborhoods and renovations are subject to architectural and historic compliance reviews.
