7.a. Block by block description of types of housing
● College Hill and UNCG have distinctly different characteristics within our census tract: College
Hill is the first and oldest neighborhood in Greensboro, established in the 1840s. Because of its
age, the characteristics of the neighborhood are reminiscent of an earlier era. The style of
buildings includes late Victorian architecture, colonial style, and craftsman style buildings.
Some of the buildings have been restored to like-new condition, some have been kept in good
repair and are well-maintained, and others have weathered siding, with peeling paint.
● Major streets that border the census tract: West Market Street between Edgeworth Street and
Aycock Street is primarily commercial businesses, mixed with a few older single-family homes
and apartment complexes that contain less than 20 units. Some of the two-story homes are made
of brick or stone and appear to be on the higher price end, with well-maintained landscaping that
provides curb appeal. Closer to Market Street, Aycock Street also has a few apartment
complexes and high-end two story homes made of brick or stone. Aycock Street near Spring
Garden Street is a retail district with no housing. Oakland Avenue through the UNCG campus
does not have residential homes or other types of housing, but Oakland Avenue in College Hill
has primarily single-family homes. Edgeworth Street is primarily commercial businesses.
● Major streets that bisect the census tract: Spring Street is primarily commercial use and does not
have housing. Spring Garden Street through the UNCG campus has a combination of residence
halls, classroom and administrative buildings, and a few restaurants. Spring Garden Street
through College Hill has primarily single-family homes, but along two blocks on the south side
of Spring Garden, the houses have been replaced by The Providence apartment complex. There
is also a small retail section at the intersection of Spring Garden Street and Mendenhall. Tate
Street between Oakland and Spring Garden Street has UNCG parking lots, the art studio, and the
Weatherspoon Museum on one side and mixed use on the other side, including a large church
complex. Tate Street has a retail section from Spring Garden Street to Walker Avenue; there are
primarily single-family homes on Tate Street from Walker Avenue to Market Street.
● Smaller neighborhood streets throughout the census tract: The majority of the student housing
on the UNCG campus is located on Gray Dr, West Dr, North Dr, College Ave, and Walker Ave.

Section Notes and Descriptors for applicable areas marked less than 61%
College Hill is the oldest neighborhood in Greensboro and was named as Greensboro’s first historic
district in 1980. As a result of gentrification, some areas have modern, multi story apartment
buildings, although they have used the colonial style in order to blend in. The one exception to this
was the conversion of the Wafco Mills building into condominiums. There was only one house in the
College Hill area that had a handicapped-accessible ramp; all of the other houses had at least one or
more steps that would preclude access for a person with a physical disability. Another consequence
of the College Hill neighborhood’s age is that some of the older areas have narrow sidewalks that are
also blocked by trees and mailboxes. In the newer areas, this is not a problem. The College Hill

7
Windshield Walking Audit

neighborhood has a lot of inclines due to hills and dips in the terrain, and there are no walking and
biking routes, except for the bike route on Spring Garden Street. Other than a very small
neighborhood park, Springdale Park founded in 1910, there are no neighborhood parks, greenways or
open spaces in College Hill. There are no libraries or community centers within the College Hill
neighborhood, but it is bordered on its western boundary, Tate Street, with a small retail area that
includes shops and restaurants between Spring Garden and Walker Ave. There are a few retail stores
at the corner of Mendenhall and Spring Garden as well. Greensboro College and Weaver School are
located in the northeastern corner of the College Hill neighborhood.
In stark contrast, the UNCG area is modern and recently built. About 80-100% of UNCG’s campus
has walkable sidewalks, and walking and biking routes that are well maintained, ADA compliant and
free from obstruction. The shared use paths, open spaces and greenways on the campus are well
connected and enable most residents to access destinations by foot or bike. All of the destinations on
the campus are within easy walking distance from residence halls or transportation stops.

Section Notes and Descriptors for applicable areas marked less than 61%
● In the College Hill area, the only central islands are found on Spring Garden and Tate Street, and
within the neighborhood, many of the streets are narrow with frequent stop signs. Some streets
are one way. On the UNCG campus, central islands were used on Spring Garden and many
streets have speed bumps. Also, Spring Garden is the only street that traverses the campus.
● Springdale Park, in the College Hill area, was intentionally built about six feet below street level,
so there is an inclined ramp that goes into the park from the street level. This would present a
problem for a person in a wheelchair to exit the park.
● On the UNCG campus, handicap access is inconveniently located on the far side of the sports
facilities, separate from other spectators. Access from the most common routes are not ADA
compliant (stairs).
● In the College Hill neighborhood, there was no handicap accessible parking for the Springdale
Park playground. On the UNCG campus, there is minimal handicapped-accessible parking near
recreational facilities.
● There are no playgrounds on the UNCG campus and the Springdale Park equipment is not
designed for or accessible to individuals in wheelchairs.
● The College Hill neighborhood does not offer a variety of free or low-cost publicly available
facilities/areas that allow opportunities for physical activity. The Kathleen Price Bryan Family
YMCA is located on the northeast edge of the census tract and accounts for the majority of the
publicly accessible low-cost physical activity opportunities. Many facilities/areas are located
outside of the census tract.
● UNCG has several facilities/areas that allow opportunities for physical activity for UNCG
cardholders only: UNCG Baseball Stadium, UNCG Basketball Court, UNCG Softball, UNCG
Tennis Courts, Fleming Gymnasium, UNCG Beach Volleyball Court, UNCG Soccer Stadium,
UNCG Recreation Field, and UNCG Recreation & Wellness Center. The UNCG Six Golf
Practice Greens are freely accessible to neighborhood residents as well as UNCG cardholders.
● Located just outside the census tract are College Park, Downtown Greenway Morehead Park, and
the Warnersville Swimming Pool.

Springdale Park is located within the census tract at 916 Spring Garden Street. The park is opened to
the public but does not offer on-site gardens and/or farmers markets. The restaurants located within
our census tract have limited healthy food advertisements or limited the display of unhealthy foods.
On campus, there are several options to get pizza, burgers, fried chicken, tacos, pastries, sugary
beverages, etc. There are limited restaurants that focus on healthier food options like Hissho Sushi
and Salsarita’s Fresh Mexican Grill. The UNCG Caf at Moran Commons has the healthiest options
located before the other food options, as a way to encourage healthy eating before visually coming
into contact with other less healthier options. There are also monitors in the Caf that display
nutritional information regarding the various food options at each station. In the convenience stores
on campus, there are signs displaying messages that it doesn’t take much thought for you to snack
smart, but they have limited healthy options to choose from that are situated towards the back of the
store. The prices of healthier food options are equal to and higher than othr food options. There were
no vending/food options observed at the parks. No coupons are discounts were observed/available in
the restaurants and convenience stores located in the census tract.
* Note: Food stores are stores that predominantly sell food, including grocery stores,
supermarkets, ethnic and specialized markets, some corner stores, and some convenience stores.

Section Notes and Descriptors for overall safety
● Because the College Hill neighborhood is a well established area, the neighbors notice and
acknowledge traffic through the area. The neighbors also know each other and look out for one
another. The College Hill Neighborhood Association website is updated regularly with
information reported by the residents, such as vandalism, burglaries, robberies, and other crimes.
In the College Hill neighborhood, there were no youth loitering on corners, or in public facilities
or commercial sites.
● On the UNCG campus, among ordinary pedestrian traffic, there is no sense of community
members knowing and looking out for one another. That is offset by the fact that there are Walk
Safe communication kiosks throughout the campus. It is common to see students loitering on
corners, and in public facilities or commercial sites on campus.
