Lame,full of crime,failing town 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( Sep 11, 2021) I live in Eden and this place is bad,there is a lot of crime,unfriendly and rude neighbors and residents,there are not many jobs,there's a high residence of sex offenders,and the median age here is very old and their are more elder people than young people.

The only good thing a
...Read More bout this town is there are a good number of stores,the drive in theater,and some really good restaurants.

Again the worst problem I have about this place is the rudeness and weirdness of most people that live here maybe once a month someone will wave at you when you ride down the road and if you've lived here for 25 or 30 years your neighbors might say a word to you. Read Less
Eden, North Carolina: Not What it Used to Be 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I have lived here in Eden, North Carolina my entire life. Living in Eden, North Carolina has given me a good life, but unfortunately our city does not seem to be thriving anymore. The crime rate here is increasing and the local school system is struggling with its budget.

I ca
...Read More n say that there are a few great neighborhoods to live in here. While there are a few rough sections in this town, there are many neighborhoods where people still look out for people. The area also offers you the basics. There are stores here to buy what you need and quite a few restaurants.

The best areas in Eden, North Carolina to me are the local drive-in movie theatre and the towns park, Freedom Park. The movie theatre is just like it was when I was growing up. It is a great place to sit in your car and grab some popcorn and watch a movie or two. Freedom Park offers a picnicking area and a nice playground for children. Read Less
