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

My unit was in terrible shape when I moved in. There were piles of dead roaches from previous tenants behind and inside appliances, leftover hair dye stains in the bathroom, and clumps of hair all over my room. It made me feel like management didn't care much about making a good impression. None of the windows in the unit were watertight, and they would leak every time it rained. There was also a significant mold and bug problem. In my shared apartment, mold and pink slime would constantly grow around the windows. It became a losing battle trying to keep them clean after every rain. In my room specifically, the leaks became so bad that water was seeping into the drywall. The AC unit was leaking into the living room wall, which caused the linen closet to become covered in black mold. I brought this issue to management, expecting them to address the root of the problem. However, maintenance just scrubbed the wall with bleach water and called it a day. Another problem I had with the unit was the insane amount of dust. It was constant! even though I stayed on top of changing the air filters. If you plan on staying here, I would recommend investing in a quality air purifier. When I was living here another resident creepily asked me where I lived and sexually harassed me. He would also camp out in the parking lot in the afternoons to talk to me and try to figure out which building I lived in. Any girls that plan on staying here please be careful. My downstairs neighbors were insanely loud, and you could often hear people fighting in the stairwell late at night. Loud music and yelling were pretty standard. Even though these apartments are questionable at best, I did meet some kind people while living here.

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'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!
