Home of the Hawks — a full-service middle school with a strong student-to-teacher ratio, a deep activity bench, and an easy commute from Mill Gardens.
Families searching for apartments near Huntington Middle School in Warner Robins are usually in a specific phase of parenting — the years when school days stretch into sports practice, band rehearsal, and the occasional FFA meeting, and the parent's calendar turns into a logistics puzzle. Mill Gardens Apartments at 333 Ashwood Dr. in Bonaire is zoned for Huntington Middle, close enough for a quick pickup run, and priced for the families balancing middle-school activity fees against everything else.
This page covers what Huntington Middle offers, the honest commute from Mill Gardens, and which of our floor plans fit a household with a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader.
Huntington Middle School serves students in grades six through eight as part of the Houston County School District. The campus is home of the Hawks and is located at 206 Wellborn Road in Warner Robins. Current enrollment sits around 831 students — a typical mid-size Georgia middle school.
One factual standout: Huntington's student-to-teacher ratio is approximately 13:1, notably stronger than the district average. In middle school, that ratio translates into smaller class sizes and more face time with individual teachers — the years a student starts transitioning from elementary-style instruction to more independent academic work benefit meaningfully from that kind of classroom attention.
On the activity side, Huntington runs a full-service middle school experience. The school offers a Gifted & Talented program for qualifying students, twelve interscholastic sports, a band program, an FFA (Future Farmers of America) chapter, and a range of clubs and extracurricular activities. For a middle-schooler trying to figure out where they fit — athletics, music, ag, academics — having that many options on one campus matters.
Middle school changes how a family uses its home. Mornings start earlier. Afternoons run longer. A kid who used to be picked up at 3:00 now has practice until 5:30, then wants friends over, then has homework. That shift makes two things matter more than they did before: location and space.
On location, Mill Gardens is a practical 4.7-mile drive from Huntington's Wellborn Road campus — close enough that pickup after late practices doesn't eat your evening, and close enough that a 6th grader riding the bus isn't spending an hour in transit each way. Our quiet garden-style community with free off-street parking makes the comings and goings of a middle-school family workable instead of chaotic.
On space, middle-schoolers need their own room. They also need somewhere to do homework that isn't the kitchen table. Mill Gardens' 2- and 3-bedroom floor plans were built for that: enough room for everyone to have their own corner, a private backyard for the dog and the occasional friends-over cookout, and walls thick enough that a 7th-grader learning trumpet isn't a community event.
At 4.7 miles and roughly 10 minutes, the drive from Mill Gardens to Huntington Middle is well within normal for Middle Georgia — a quick straight shot that avoids the heavier Watson Boulevard traffic. For bus-riding families, Houston County School District publishes bus route information, stop locations, and bus numbers through the hcbe.net/zoning tool.

Most middle-school households at Mill Gardens land in one of two floor plans:
Middle-school families tend to appreciate the practical things: central A/C you can actually count on, a dishwasher so nobody's arguing about dishes, in-unit washer/dryer hookups in most apartments, and a private backyard that's big enough for a dog and a hammock. Every unit at Mill Gardens includes the in-unit basics — you can see the full list on our amenities page or browse every layout on the floor plans page.
One more practical note: middle-schoolers are almost adults, and they have schedules to match. Free off-street parking matters as a family ends up running multiple cars. A quiet setting matters when one kid is studying for a science test while another is practicing for a band concert. Mill Gardens is built around exactly that kind of household.
