“The parking is first come, first serve, so not getting the same parking spot everyday is not guaranteed. When we put in a maintenance order, they come out within 24 hours, get it done quickly and are extremely friendly. There isn't any noise from the neighbors & everyone in the leasing office are friendly and professional. The only issues I have with our apartment is the bugs but that is because our unit in facing the small wooded area, we are on the bottom floor, and there have been small openings in the doors that have been sealed. Overall I would give these apartments a 10/10.”

Top neighborhoods in Greensboro

Brice Street Area

What it’s like to live in Brice Street Area

Students beyond freshman year discover significantly better living in the Brice Street Area than in campus housing, with converted historic homes offering more character and independence than dormitories or purpose-built complexes. The neighborhood surrounds UNC Greensboro with properties specifically designed for academic lifestyles including desk nooks and built-in bookshelves from earlier education-focused eras. Unlike campus housing with institutional rules, these rentals allow normal adult living including overnight guests and pet ownership with reasonable deposits. Many homes feature front porches perfect for study breaks between classes, while the walkable Tate Street commercial district provides coffee shops with extended hours during exam periods. When considering options, properties on the neighborhood's western edge provide slightly quieter environments away from weekend social activities – a distinction worth noting for serious students prioritizing study environments

Bellwood Village

What it’s like to live in Bellwood Village

Family-friendly accessibility defines Bellwood Village, where Greensboro's northern neighborhood offers more affordable alternatives to trendier districts with similar square footage. Most rentals feature actual yards and multiple bedrooms increasingly difficult to find at similar price points in rapidly appreciating districts, while the strategic positioning provides reasonable access to both downtown employment and outlying shopping centers without excessive commutes in either direction. Though lacking the architectural distinction of historic districts, the practical advantages of more generous living spaces, better parking situations, and competitive rental rates creates compelling value for practical households prioritizing functionality over architectural character increasingly requiring substantial financial compromises without corresponding practical advantages beyond purely aesthetic considerations increasingly secondary to functional requirements during housing evaluations prioritizing everyday livability beyond curb appeal considerations temporary during initial impressions rather than sustained experiences affecting daily satisfaction levels.

What it’s like to live in Old Irving Park

Historic prestige defines Old Irving Park, where Greensboro's most distinguished neighborhood showcases architectural treasures surrounding a country club. Though primarily owner-occupied, rental opportunities occasionally appear in divided larger homes and carriage houses with architectural significance. The neighborhood offers excellent access to both downtown employment and Friendly Shopping Center, though the limited rental inventory requires patience when seeking available units in this coveted district.
