Georgetown Apartments for Rent

“Modern,” “exciting,” “energized,” and “avant-garde” are just some of the words that describe Georgetown, a neighborhood in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. People looking for the quaint, laid-back Southern atmosphere like that found in Chapel Hill won’t find it here. This area attracts those who walk to the beat of their own drummer.

Georgetown lies in the Piedmont Triad, a north-central region of North Carolina that covers the three major cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point. This modern metropolis attracts residents to its educational and cultural opportunities. Choose from three universities and one college in Winston-Salem: Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University, University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and Salem College.

The area is a leading manufacturing and transportation hub of the southeastern United States. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are its two biggest commercial claims to fame.

For weekend fun, residents visit the Old Salem Museum and Reynolds Gardens. Kids love to visit SciWorks children’s museum. There’s LJVM Coliseum nearby for the sports afficionado. When it’s time to eat, locals head to one of many area restaurants featuring ethnic cuisine of all kinds. Barbecue, though, seems to be the hands-down favorite in these parts, and there’s a lot of it. Coffee shops, candy emporiums, bakeries, and ice creameries can all be found in this neighborhood.

Everyday shopping needs can be taken care of at College Plaza Shopping Center. It’s within walking distance, like most amenities in this neighborhood.

Although Georgetown is in the heart of the city, the area doesn’t lack for striking natural beauty. Lush trees envelope the streets, and the skyline sunsets are breathtaking.
