The School at Spring Garden and Spartan Place Apartments, greensboro-nc

Lived here for 2 years and renewing for a 3rd. As far as I've seen it is one of the cheapest apartments in the area Depending on what room you rent and walking or bicycling to UNCG is possible. So long as you get your pet set as an emotional support animal you can stay with them too but small dogs are not recommended because of a previous set of incidents involving a medium-sized dog, without leash that lived in the area, attacking small dogs. Management changes almost yearly from what i can tell so the office has troubles keeping the paperwork straight, especially since after it goes to the office it gets sent off property. Bottom line with maintenance is understaffed and they work multiple sites but most major problems get fixed quickly unless it is something handled by a third party, like the windows, then even a broken window takes 3 months.

Lived there for a year while at UNCG. Management was extremely friendly, very helpful, and treated you with respect. Cheap apartments so it wasn't perfect but overall I was very happy with my stay here. The 6 month leases are also very beneficial for college students.

I’m a full time college student that also works and I’ve been living at the school at Spring Garden for over a year now and just resigned my lease. I’ve loved it here for the most part. Great price, free wifi, and free water. I personally live on a bottom floor unit so I do see more bugs (which is expected and the buildings are old historical buildings). I’ve never had an issue with management nor maintenance. The office is very friendly and works to help you with your issues when you have them. I did have a problem with my flooring since move in of last year and after a year, corporate did decide to replace it. Luckily they let us do it section by section instead of having us have to go to a whole new unit. The floors were my only issue really since move in. I highly recommend this for college students. It’s right in the middle of Greensboro so you have a lot of job and food options. Everyone I’ve come across here have been friendly and I do feel safe here as a 24 year old living on her own. They are not pet friendly unless you have an ESA or Service animal so just be mindful of that. Overall, I like this place. It’s nice for me and my job while I’m in college.

I'll preface this by saying that I do not live within the school itself, but regardless, this is one of the best apartments I've lived at. The greenery is beautiful during the warmer seasons, more than enough parking, and overall a convenient location. Most of all, the staff here are wonderful from past to new employees. I have nothing but great things to say about Nylah, Jasmine, Dwayne, Sophie, and previous staff, Brendon. For anyone thinking of moving in, I hope you come to appreciate it as much as I have.

The school at Spring Garden apartments! I moved down here from upstate New York. I did tour several other apartment complexes before I settled on this one. For a 2BR, 2Bath apartment you do get a good deal, since no other complexes I found include basically all utilities in the rent. The allowance for electricity is reasonable. I love the fact that I have a washer/dryer in my unit, as well as central air which does work very well. Location is very convenient, but personally I will probably end up moving only because it's not rural but urban (that's a personal preference). The neighborhood, Lindley Park, is among the more decent ones you can find in Greensboro. I never had any serious maintenance issues, nor bug issues. I saw others complain about thin walls- it's possible this building is more insulated, as I haven't been in any other apartments in the complex, but I haven't heard much above running water or some doors slamming once in a while. Outside noise is my only other complaint, as there seems to be frequent sirens due to its location. However, I cannot fault the complex for that (just an observation). All, in all I'd say The School ticks more boxes than not, so it's a solid choice especially for its location (convenient to many places in Greensboro). Happy hunting!
