Working, shopping and playing are all appealing to the dwellers of Gastonia apartments because of all the great things to do here. With a thriving economy that is home to several manufacturing plants, the county seat of government and a significant healthcare system, the nearly 70,000 residents have many beautiful and historic sites at which to visit and shop.
Some of the more notable cultural centers include the Shiele Museum of Natural History, the gorgeous natural landscapes of the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the American
Military Museum of Gastonia and the nation's largest American flag, measuring at 65 feet tall by 114 feet wide. The very cool flag can be seen from over 30 miles away, weighs 180 pounds, and is flown by the Gastonia chapter of the United Veterans of America.
Another wonderful site to see while you are a Gastonia apartment-ite is the Crowders Mountain State Park, just west of downtown. Several strenuous trails exist to take hikers to the summit, trails and picnic areas, as well as some great rock climbing locations on this isolated mountain peak.
Two large shopping centers exist in Gastonia with Eastfield Regional Mall that features large anchor stores and over 100 specialty stores and a food court, and Franklin Square, with larger franchise stores and a movie theater. You're sure to be able to furnish your Gastonia apartment well with the wide array of shopping.
So, whether you like the outdoors or prefer hanging out in malls or museums, Gastonia is the place to be!
