    “Once every thing is completed. I think I’m going to really enjoy living there. The leasing manager, Ryan has been extremely helpful. My unit wasn’t ready. When I first moved in but he made a way for me to still get in a temporary unit until mine is complete. If I have an issue, Heston it. The maintenance has been there on time. When I need it. I’m very pleased, thus far with everything!”

What it’s like to live in Downtown Winston-salem
Urban revival energizes Downtown Winston-Salem, where converted tobacco warehouses now house distinctive apartments alongside new construction. Rental options include industrial-chic lofts and luxury units with city views and modern amenities. While the walkable district offers excellent access to restaurants, galleries, and the Innovation Quarter, weekend noise from entertainment venues can affect quality of life in some locations. Perfect for young professionals and empty nesters who value urban energy within a smaller city setting.

What it’s like to live in Ardmore
Historic charm defines Ardmore, where this distinctive Winston-Salem neighborhood showcases homes from the 1920s-30s just minutes from downtown. Rental options include divided historic homes and smaller apartment buildings with architectural details unavailable in newer construction. While the area offers excellent access to both Baptist Medical Center and Hanes Park recreation, parking can be challenging on narrower streets without dedicated spaces. Particularly appealing to medical professionals and those who value historic character and established neighborhood feel.
