Downtown Greensboro is entering a new era of growth and creativity, as highlighted in the new “This Is What’s Next for Downtown Greensboro” video and the GSO35 vision plan. From cultural venues to expanded greenways and mixed-use developments, the city’s next decade promises a revitalized, connected, and thriving downtown community.

The Western Branch of the Downtown Greenway is nearing completion, with paving, grading, and site work well underway. A public meeting will be held October 6, 5:00–6:30 PM at Greensboro College to share the landscaping plan and gather input. Read the full update ➜

The Downtown Greenway project continues to move forward, with the section between Smith Street and Guilford Avenue now paved but not yet open for public use. Work is on track for the Guilford to West Market Street segment to be completed by late September, with a community preview event scheduled for September 27, 2025, ahead of the Greenway’s full completion in spring 2026.

Wafco Mills HOA contracts with Arrow Exterminators, Inc. to provide quarterly pest control service for our community. This includes treating the exterior and common areas of the property.

Wafco Mills residents can also request interior service for their unit at no charge during the scheduled quarterly service.

To schedule an interior service:

• Contact Lynn Faulkner in the Arrow Administrative office at 336-273-6253

• Request a specific appointment time

Please note: Appointment times are first come, first served, and residents must be present for the 15-minute service.

If a resident requires service outside of the scheduled quarterly service date, an additional interior or "call back" service can be arranged for a fee of $95.00. This fee is paid directly to Arrow Exterminators, Inc. To schedule a "call back" service, call the Arrow Exterminators, Inc. Administrative staff.

If you suspect a leak in your Wafco Mills unit, tenants must contact their landlord or property manager — never the HOA board or management. Owners are responsible for coordinating repairs, insurance, and communication with neighbors, while the HOA only handles common element issues like roof leaks under the governing documents.

At Wafco Mills, the HOA Board and HOA management never speak directly with tenants — all questions, issues, and repairs must go through your landlord or their property manager. Owners are held responsible for tenant violations under the governing documents, so every lease and signed Rules & Regulations must be submitted by the owner to the HOA.

In summer heat, setting your AC too low can cause the coils to freeze. When the ice melts, water leaks may damage your unit or the one below. Under the Wafco Mills governing documents and NC Condominium Act (N.C.G.S. § 47C-3-107), each owner is responsible for maintaining their HVAC system and any damage it causes. Prevent leaks by keeping your system serviced, changing filters, and setting reasonable thermostat levels.

Wafco Mills is nearing completion of major projects, including the new trash enclosure and brickwork repairs, and is reminding residents about proper trash disposal and leak reporting procedures.

Living at Wafco Mills affords residents a location that’s an easy walk to the NC Folk Festival. Check out the line up of Artists for the 2025 year.

Wafco Mills, Walker Commons and Historic Wafco Mills do share the same block of land but have three different HOAs and three different boards of directors and three different sets of governing docs. Wafco Mills is the owner of this website and wants to help residents know and understand what HOA is theirs so they can direct questions and concerns for Walker Commons and Historic Wafco to their managers and board of directors.

Owning a condo a Wafco Mills puts you within walking distance of UNCG and Greensboro College, as well as Downtown Greensboro. However, Wafco Mills is NOT student housing and our HOA is not interested in a volunteer babysitting job managing anyone’s non-informed tenant. Please read up and make sure you know the rules of our Wafco Mills community before you buy or rent your unit.

Our Wafco Mills Board of Directors volunteers to support owners at Wafco Mills as they are members of our home owners association. Tenants or renters are not members of our HOA and are the sole responsibility of the owner. This post shares why.

Wafco Mills, a condominium community in a historic neighborhood just steps from Downtown Greensboro, NC, offers residents easy access to a vibrant urban scene with $471 million in new developments, cultural events like concerts at the Tanger Center, and community festivals along the Downtown Greenway. Despite challenges, the area thrives with arts, innovation, and business opportunities, making it a dynamic hub for all Wafco Mills residents.

The Downtown Greenway project is advancing with construction milestones, including fencing, paving bases, and utility upgrades, while artist Pete Beeman finalizes the Market + Branch art commission design. Feedback from the April 24th public meeting is guiding HARP’s summer landscaping design, and Dabney Sanders will be out of the country until May 22nd, with Brian, Jason, and Chelsea handling concerns in her absence.

No parking is allowed in front of the construction fencing at the Walker Ave trash enclosure until further notice. Vehicles parked there will be towed at the owner’s expense, per Wafco Mills Rules and Regulations
(June 2021, Page 5) and NC General Statutes § 20-219.2.

Brick repair and pressure washing are underway at Wafco Mills, with work shifting from McGee Street to Fulton residences starting May 1, 2025. Residents must promptly remove porch items and vehicles to avoid towing, fines, or delays—compliance ensures safe, efficient repairs that protect our community’s value.
