Great but isolated

Great apartment complex, well connected to the school (easy to walk or through the bus). Without a car it can be isolating from the MBA Community in 9th street.

Not as advertised

During my virtual tour, I was shown the "show room" which has all hardwood floors, a ceiling fan in the living room, and bedroom and ceiling lights on both fans. In reality, the apartment is carpeted (which adds cleaning time). There is no ceiling fan in the living room. Even worse, there are NO lights in the living room, or the bedroom. I was told that is true for 90% of apartments, and as far as I know, management does not plan on putting lights in either room. I had to buy lamps and lights to put in both rooms.

In addition, when I came in a number of appliances were cracked/broken (microwave, shades, dryer). It took almost a month to get the dryer replaced. Now that everything is settled the apartment is fine, but it took a lot of time and energy for me to get things done, and as a grad student that definitely negatively impacted my transition back into school. On the bright side the people who work here are very polite, Bryan was always willing to try and help, and the maintenance man who fixed my appliances (he was the ONLY maintenance person at one point) was very professional, and efficient. I have seen a number of pests/waterbugs scurrying around outside, although usually only at night. Clubhouse and pool are nice.

The experience has more or less been smooth enough but one of the major issues is that the maintenance people take a lot of time to respond when we report about something faulty with the flat.

Nice rooms, but some pest issues

Overall, it's a good place to live. You are near the shuttle and many other MMS folk. However, there was definitely a pest issue when moving in.

Great Apartment

My experience has been excellent! While I initially had some concerns about theft, this year, significant amendments have been made to enhance security and safety. Overall, I can't complain. I strongly recommend it, especially for its accessibility to Fuqua and Belmont, ensuring you'll never feel lonely. There's also a bus stop right outside and a gas station across the street for last minute snacks.

Although it might be a little pricey, the amenities justify the cost. You'll enjoy a great gym, a nice leasing office with team rooms, games, and a coffee machine, and you get free breakfast every morning. The apartments are luxurious and spacious. You may have to furnish it, but that's for most housings around so shouldn't make a difference. Overall, its nice and accessible.

Terrible place

Packages and deliveries get stolen all the time, and the leasing office doesn’t care about it at all. Cars parked in the apartment get smashed occasionally. Could hear gunshots at night once a week. People constantly get mugged in the area. No inside parking.

Erwin - LaSalle Reviews

430 reviews
It's been perfectly fine. People are nice but it's not much of a community, just a place where people live. Behind the Belmont which had a spate of robberies a few months back, but the Flats is further away from the main road and is better lit. So far no security incidents or concerns at the Flats. Affordability depends on which apartment complex you choose in the Erwin-LaSalle area. Wide range in rents, ranging from very expensive to very affordable depending on which one you pick.
The broader neighborhood's chief attribute is convenience to Duke. A lot of students live in the apartment complexes around here. It can be inconvenient sometimes getting to a supermarket from the neighborhood, though (eventually they're going to re-open a Harris Teeter on Hillsborough, which should mitigate this issue somewhat).
The neighborhood was perfectly fine when I started living there, but recently there have been some armed robberies in apartment buildings that are about a 10 minute walk away. However, I would like to say that I have not felt unsafe walking home at night and the security at Trinity is quite high. For example, you have to use a special key to get into the lobby (where a security guard sits after dark) and then you have to use the key to get in from the lobby to where the rooms are, and then again to get into your room. There are about 10 good restaurants within walking distance ranging from greek food to Mexican food to sushi so it's great for a quick dinner when you don't want to cook. There is also a hair salon and a manicure place, as well as a Walgreens pharmacy. We are very close to Duke Hospital and the bus systems are very accessible.
The apartments are close to campus and easily accessible through bus, bike, or walking if desired. There is a nearby Kroger that is a less than 5 min drive away just up LaSalle St. Overall, there are some older apartments further up the road that have had issues with crime in the past, but The Heights and other apartments around the area seemed to be insulated from those issues.
The food in the area is really accessible and I feel quite safe in the surrounding area, excluding the gas stations and bus stop. I've heard some odd things at night but never seen anything fishy and feel safe coming home at night. +Tons of dogs!
Lofts is right next to a few restaurants - TGIFridays, Chipotle, Enzo's, Noodles, Smash Burger, Sushi Love, etc. The Kroger grocery store is just a few minutes away, off of Lasalle. This is a quiet neighborhood.
Quiet neighbourhood. Conveniently located to West Campus and walking distance to Fuqua. Easy and healthy fast food options nearby. Close to food stores e.g. Kroger & Harris Teeter. Close to WaDuke trail.
Not the safest neighborhood and has little transit. There have been issues at other apartment complexes with safety, but Heights has been very safe. It is absolutely fine to walk around in the day here, but not at night. There are not very many restaurants or bars nearby, although downtown Durham is 10 minutes away.
