Oh and i looked oh Clist but being that i don't know road or anything its not much help and most of the place are campus apartments renting out for 3mo which is not what we are looking for
You didn't mention what college you are attending or what range of rent payment you can afford.
There are plenty of apartments in this area which are not near or college rentals.
If you search outside of the UNC-G area there are plenty of non-student apartments; Battleground, W Friendly, Muirs Chapel, and there are condos/apartments for rent in the downtown area.
Thanks to all of replied ..are there any streets or areas i should STAY AWAY FROM??? so far what i got with this
Greensboro really isn't as bad as most people say. Most of the city is pretty safe, even at night, but there are a few areas that should definitely be avoided if at all possible. They are:
Martin Luther King (MLK) Blvd/HWY 421 - General high crime area
E Market St - High crime area, mainly drugs/prostitution
E Lee St - Safer than the above two, but generally sketchy area
Phillips Ave - VERY BAD crack problem, it runs along side the Claremont Housing Project which is unsafe even during the day
Florida St - Same as Phillips Ave, but different housing project (Smith Homes), high number of shootings in this area
E Wendover - Lots of crack houses and robberies, generally unsafe at night
Hampton Homes - Right where Elm and Eugene intersect. Dangerous area but otherwise Elm-Eugene is okay, just run down.
Ray Warren Homes - Housing project off E Lee St. High crime.
Randleman Rd- Mixed. Some parts are OK, some are sketchy.
Summit Ave - Some parts are fine, others you should stay away from. Best to avoid after dark.
Vandalia Rd- Lots of heroin/opiate addicts/dealers in this area.
Other than the above, most areas of da'boro should be fine. Downtown is a great place to hang out nights and weekends and as long as you use common sense you should be fine. The UNCG area is safe and is a great place to hang out but the area around Spring Garden does have alot of drug use. The suburbs and the wealthy areas (near the golf courses and the subdevelopments off Lake Townsend) are very safe and family friendly. The airport area (Northwest Greensboro) is quite safe and is a very good place to live, although it can be somewhat confusing to navigate with all the various highway systems and interchanges. Hope this helps.
I gave you some general areas to check into that are reasonably close to UNCG. I really can't provide you with names or vouch for any particular place, except the one I live at.

This helped me immensely. Originally from small town in Pennsylvania and have been living in Myrtle Beach for past 5 (husband calls it "Murder Beach") We are renting house in the Hamilton Hills area and move next week-end. We have been to Greensboro thrice and didn't have much luck finding a four bedroom so we spent the long buck and went thru a realtor but still have only seen pictures of the house but pretty sure the neighborhood is safe. Do you happen to know the area? I kind of feel like we are going in blindfolded. Google Earth has helped some.
I am moving down to G'boro soon. My fiancee and I are looking for homes currently. I'd prefer to live in the Summerfield area, but houses are generally pricey in that area.
