How the rules are enforced
Where a rule is broken, the Board sends a written notice to the owner and, where known, to the resident. Fines are never automatic. A person who keeps breaking a rule may be fined up to $100 after notice and an opportunity to be heard (North Carolina General Statute 47C-3-107.1). Owners are responsible for their tenants following the rules.
Every lease at Wafco Mills must say the tenant follows the community's governing documents. Breaking them can be a default under the lease (1982 Declaration, Article XI).
Residents or owners who need an accommodation related to a disability may make a request to the Board. Each request is reviewed individually.
These rules are summarized from the December 2025 Rules and Regulations. If this page and the Rules ever differ, the Rules control.

Find your people and your places
You live in one of Greensboro's historic neighborhoods, with a paved trail at the back door. Here are some ways to meet neighbors and enjoy the area.
Walk the Greenway
The Downtown Greenway runs along S Cedar Street, right behind the buildings. It is a paved path for walking and biking. It links to the rest of the city's trails.
Greensboro College
The college sits just north of our block. Look at its calendar for public events, art, sports, and music.
UNCG and Tate Street
UNCG and the Tate Street shops and cafes are within walking distance of College Hill. Good for a coffee, a book, or a game.
Say hello on the block
Neighbors at Historic Wafco Mills and Walker Commons share our streets. A wave and a smile go a long way. Please respect their parking and property.
Help care for the community
Owners can volunteer as building reps, common space reps, website reps, and more. No experience needed.
Renters can help in simple ways: pick up after pets, use the trash enclosure, keep porches tidy, and tell your landlord about anything that needs fixing.
Stay in the loop
News, projects, and Greenway updates are posted on the News and Events page. Check it for the calendar and notices.

For Owners
New owner, or have you lost touch with the community? These steps connect you.
Step 1: Set up website access
- Go to wafcomills.com and click "Login" at the top right.
- Click "Create new account" and follow the steps.
- Then use the owner sign-up page.
- Email the Board for the sign-up password.
Once you are in, you can see owner news, forms, and documents.
Step 2: Send your HO-6 proof of insurance
An HO-6 is the policy that covers the inside of your unit. North Carolina law (G.S. 47C-3-113) lets the Association ask for proof of coverage. It takes a couple of minutes with the web form.
Sending it helps keep the community safe and helps keep dues steady.
Owner Document Portal
Rules, insurance papers, meeting minutes, financial reports, and budgets. You need your owner login.
Preferred Vendors
Vendors owners have used. The Association does not guarantee their work. Please check licenses and insurance yourself.
Repairs inside a unit are the unit owner's job.
Seth Geise at Priestley and the Board of Directors work only with owners. If you rent your home, please contact your landlord or property manager.
