I like the units and the complex but the neighborhood is very dark an isolated from life... the buses are terrible Duke makes to efforts to improve the LL Line

Within walking distance of Duke Hospital (~10 min to Duke North, 20 min to TSCHE). Apartment is comfortable and clean, good response time to work orders we put it. The gym was renovated last year and has 2 Peloton bikes; there's a pool too.

Can walk to campus/TSCHE or shuttle stop right outside. Overall quiet, clean, and convenient!

Spacious apartment for a great value

I live extremely happy at the Belmont Apartments. The complex has plenty of parking space, a pool, a lake, gym and a lounge with study rooms (and free coffee!). The staff is incredibly friendly and many residents are Duke students. The best thing is that the complex is really close to Duke West Campus.

Clean, safe, has a pool and a gym, ample parking. Nothing outrageously fancy.

I lived at the Belmont for the past year. When I got my apartment, it was very popular and you needed to lock your lease in very early (march). This past October and November, the apartment complex experienced many incidents including armed robberies, one of which occurred at 8pm (that's early). As a response, some people moved out because they didn't feel safe anymore. I admit I didn't feel safe anymore either, but I didn't move out. The apartment complex hired security, which is on property 6pm-6am. There haven't been any incidents since, I am writing this at the end of January. To be fair, there have been incidents in the surrounding apartments as well, so it is not a Belmont problem only. There is a security alarm in the apartment, which I use regularly. Even though it is "gated" community, the gate is open all the time during the day, and it is often broken. Other than the security concerns, I am happy with the apartment and the community overall. The apartment is a little old.

Last thanksgiving, there were 7 robs in Belmont. But, on the other hand, now police will go around during night so the safety in Belmont can be ensured somehow. By the way, the manager here is really nice, he tried everything to retrieve the safety and allowed us to move out before the end of contract.

I am actually pretty satisfied with the Belmont Apartment. It has a nice view of forest, lake, and grassland. Besides, there is a pool, a gym and the lounge where we can all relax. And transportation is also very convenient. I even made a lot of friends here.
But in the past semester, there were five armed robberies happened in the Belmont Apartment, which reflected a severe safety problem. Even if the community make some remedies, but we are still quite worried.
One last thing, the rent is a bit high.

Pretty close to the campus
