Greensboro, NC
Greensboro is the largest city in the Triad and the anchor of the region's multifamily market. The city's combination of healthcare employment, three major universities, and a significant logistics and distribution sector creates a diverse, stable rental demand base that has historically supported consistent occupancy.
Greensboro's multifamily demand is anchored by three universities — UNC Greensboro, NC A&T State University, and Guilford College — with a combined enrollment of over 30,000 students. Cone Health and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist anchor the healthcare employment base. The Piedmont Triad International Airport and the I-40/I-85 logistics corridor add a distribution and logistics workforce that requires workforce housing.
The Greensboro market has multiple distinct submarkets. The university corridor along Spring Garden Street and the UNCG/NC A&T area supports student and young professional housing. The Friendly Avenue and New Garden Road corridors serve the professional and medical workforce. East Greensboro and the High Point Road corridor offer workforce housing at the most accessible price points.
