About this property
Legacy at Friendly Manor is a fitting name for an apartment community where historical reverence blends in perfect harmony with contemporary living. While Friendly is the name of the main road through the Guilford College area of Greensboro, NC, it also describes the attitude of the staff and residents. There is a strong sense of community here, where traditional buildings of historical significance stand alongside newly-built examples of modern architecture. Offering a diverse selection of 1-, 2-, and 3- bedroom floor plans, both building styles are equipped with modern conveniences. Neighbors love to meet at the clubhouse for coffee in the Internet Café, surf the web with our free Wi-Fi by the pool, or enjoy their favorite DVDs from the library selection in the 24-Seat, 106” screen multi-media theatre. The 24-hour business center and the expansive, fully-equipped fitness center are open 24/7. At Legacy at Friendly Manor, modern-day convenience encounters old-fashioned southern charm.

About Greensboro, North Carolina
Learn About This Location
Greensboro (formerly Greensborough) is the third-largest city in North Carolina and the county seat and largest city in the Piedmont Triad metro region. Greensboro's population was at 277,080 in 2012. Three major interstate highways (Interstate 85, Interstate 40 and Interstate 73) were built to intersect in Greensboro. Greensboro was established on land that was "an unbroken forest with thick undergrowth of huckleberry bushes, that bore a finely flavored fruit." Three north-south streets (Greene, Elm, Davie) were built intersecting three east-west streets (Gaston, Market, Sycamore).
In the postwar period, blacks fought in North Carolina and across the South for the ability to exercise their constitutional rights. College students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College (A&T), made Greensboro a hub for protests and change. In 1960, four black college students sat down at an "all-white" Woolworth's diner, refusing to leave after being denied service, even after already making purchases in other areas of the store. They showed receipts, asking why their money was good elsewhere in the store but not there. Hundreds joined in, and the sit-in lasted several months. This kind of protest quickly spread throughout the South, leading to the desegregation of lunch counters and other facilities at Woolworth's and other department stores.
