What You Need to Know About Being a Local in Mocksville, NC

What you need to know to be a local in Mocksville, NC

If you are like most of the world you are no stranger to having to relocate. There is always a learning curve when you move to a new area. You struggle to fit in quickly, learn your way around, and learn all the local customs. If you are looking at Mocksville homes for sale then you will encounter these same issues. As a person who grew up in Mocksville I thought I would write this post to make it easier for people moving to the area.

Here are a few things you need to know when moving to Mocksville, NC:

1) The term "redneck" is typically a term of endearment. Please be sure to note there is a distinct difference between country people and rednecks. Country people are resourceful, helpful, friendly, and generally nice folks. Rednecks can be similar but they can also be more...excitable.

2) The Bull Hole is a public park not anything to be feared. This was a former testing ground for the youth's four wheel drives. Now, however, it is a public park by the river and really worth a visit. There is a dam on the South Yadkin River where the Cooleemee Mill once was located.

3) There is only one High School for the entire county. Davie High is a great school (but overcrowded) and is the center of some very hot debates. Meanwhile, the War Eagles move forward in athletics and academics. Likewise, Friday night football is a countywide gathering of the people.

4) If you ever need to find someone from the Mocksville area plan a trip to Wal-Mart over the weekend. This is the best way to see the majority of the population of the area, or get to know the community. If you did not find who you were looking for at Wal-Mart, then try Miller's Resteraunt.

5) Want something fun to do? Well, if you purchase one of the Mocksville homes for sale you either will be fishing, hunting, four wheeling, or staying at home. Aside from a few great places to eat there are not a lot of entertainment activities. The great news is that Winston Salem, Statesville, And Salisbury are all just a short commute away and blossoming with things to do.

All kidding aside Mocksville really is a great place to live. The people are friendly, and the area boasts a rural feel with big city convenience. Mocksville homes for sale are popular since the taxes are slightly lower and the commute to the city is short.

I was raised here and graduated from the school system. I even taught Science at Davie High for a while. I can attest to the fact that Mocksville is one of the best places to live anywhere in the Triad.
