Background 

The Ole Asheboro neighborhood is one of the City's most ambitious neighborhood revitalization efforts. Designated in 1979 as part of an even larger revitalization effort encompassing the Arlington Park and Vance areas, Ole Asheboro has seen considerable progress over the years and serves as a prime entryway into the heart of downtown. Ole Asheboro sits within the South Greensboro National Register Historic District, alongside Arlington Park and Southside. The area includes late-19th to early-20th-century homes and landmarks such as the former David Caldwell School, now the Nettie Mae Coad Apartments.
