Wafco Mills Condominiums

Immerse yourself in the timeless charm of Wafco Mills Condominiums, a historic landmark nestled in the heart of Greensboro, North Carolina. These condos are more than just a residence; they are a living piece of history, celebrating the rich industrial past of our community.

Historical Significance

The Historic Wafco Mill building was established initially as the Watson and Company mill in 1893. Historic Wafco Mills has transformed over the years. Starting as a simple timber-framed building, it evolved with expansions in 1907 and 1912 into an architecturally sophisticated brick complex, complete with segmental-arched windows and a distinctive stepped parapet gable.

For generations, under the Watson family's stewardship, the mill played a pivotal role in Greensboro's commercial and industrial development, specializing in a variety of flours, cornmeal, and feeds. However, its operational life came to a halt in 1972, leading to a period of uncertainty until its rebirth as a residential complex in 1987. This is when the 66 individual condominium development of Wafco Mills was added to the property of the Historic Wafco Mills. Historic Wafco Mills and Wafco Mills are managed independently by separate Home Owner Associations.

While the buildings may carry the charming patina of time, they also offer the opportunity for personal touches and modern updates on the interiors, allowing residents to create a space that truly feels like home. Managed by a volunteer board of directors, living here is about embracing the character and stories embedded in every brick while keeping the historic charm of the mill and surrounding neighborhood.

Today, Wafco Mills Condominiums offer a unique living experience where history meets the present. Each of the 66 units is a nod to the past, with carefully designed elements like brick brownstone style exteriors that match the historic Wafco Mill building and enhance the surrounding Historic College Hill Neighborhood. These features blend seamlessly with the cozy, lived-in feel of the condos, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.

At Wafco Mills Condominiums, you're not just buying a home; you're becoming a part of Greensboro's living history. Join a community that values the preservation of our city's industrial heritage, all while enjoying the warmth and familiarity of a truly historic living space.
