Salisbury
PIEDMONT REGION
In the heart of the Piedmont region of North Carolina, lies the historic city of Salisbury,
located midway between Charlotte and Greensboro.
Salisbury boasts a rich, diverse population who are mindful to honor our past
through historic preservation, while strategically planning for a future that embraces
technology, growth and sustainability.
What makes Salisbury attractive to active, older adults is our variety of experiences
for all cultures and ages. Catch a play at one of our three performance theaters or
enjoy a Salisbury Symphony concert under the stars. Dine and enjoy a cold one in our
30+ local restaurants and breweries or take a short drive to the second largest lake in
North Carolina-High Rock Lake. If health and fitness is your focus, take a walk along
our many tree-shaded greenways, play a round at one of six golf courses or take a yoga
class in a downtown studio.
Our residents come from a variety of backgrounds, each with a unique set of
experiences and beliefs. It is our mission to be an inclusive community, whether it's
through the Salisbury Human Relations Council, the grassroots efforts of the West End
Community Organization or the Salisbury Youth Council. In addition, our four higher
learning institutions welcome students who can lend a unique, worldly perspective in
the classroom.
Recreation
Salisbury Parks and Recreation
maintains 508 acres of beautiful
park land, encompassing 29 park
properties and parks, a swimming
pool and splash pad, a sports
complex and a large community
park and athletic complex.
In addition, the department
provides many amenities for
public enjoyment, including four
recreation facilities, ten tennis
courts, seven paved sections (5.2
miles) of the Salisbury Greenway
and almost 20 miles of hiking and
biking trails.
Health Care
There are a number of nationally
recognized programs that
specifically cater to our more
mature residents who desire
specialized care. Rufty-Holmes
Senior Center was North Carolina's
first Senior Center of Excellence and
the first one nationally accredited.
The W.G. Hefner VA hospital
is renowned for its care of our
honored military veterans, while 17
retirement communities also call
Salisbury home.
Median Home Value
The median home value in many of
North Carolina's metropolitan areas
is well below the national average.
