Expensive, but convenient if you're in the MMS program. It's about a 6 minute drive to Fuqua. The only reason I chose the Heights over other places, was that most of the MMS lives here, so it's convenient for hanging out, carpooling, and for team meetings. We usually meets in the team rooms in the club house that are open 24/7. However, other than that, there are other places that are nearly the same distance to Fuqua (Lofts and Trinity Commons, for example) that offer better amenities for the same price. The gym at the heights is small, basic, and always packed. The pool is okay; but closes at dawn. The club house doesn't have much going on (no printer, no game room, very basic coffee machine, no snack bar), so the other apt complexes are much better as far as amenities. Maintenance is good and fast. Generally quiet and peaceful. I live facing the pool and still never had issues with loud noises when I need to study. Bryan at the leasing office is great, helpful and personable; Adaisha is horrible and has the personality of a piece of paper. I live in a basic 1/1 and the apt size is decent, but there's no storage other than your closet. (No place to even store a vacuum cleaner, for example!) I can't speak to the apt size/features of the other neighborhoods nearby, because I've only been in their common areas. There are no shops, restaurants or grocery stores walking distance to the LaSalle area in general, which I don't like. This whole area is kind of dead... you can't just walk and get food next door. Looking back, I'd live in the 9th street area. It's lively, there's a lot more going on, Harris Teeter is right there, many cute restaurants, shops, etc. I didn't even consider it when I moved to Durham, because I thought 9th street was "far", but it really isn't! If you have a car it's only a 9 minute drive from Fuqua (a mile farther than the Heights). Living at the heights is just "meh" for what you pay, and the cons (or more like, lack of anything special or that makes it stand out) outweighs the pro of living in the same building as your friends/team. You can always come here for meetings and to hang out, then go back home to your way nicer apartment complex at Trinity, Lofts, or 9th Street! Hope this helps :)

Nice floorplans, relatively new apartment

The heights is great

I love my own apartment, but I wish they had a dog park and a bigger gym.

We have a fantastic apartment, the gym is a little small but free breakfast if you wake up in time, a lovely club house and amazing views.

Great location and nice furnishings. Maintenance of pool, gates, and elevators needs to be better.

Quiet place compared to apartments on Ninth Street. The apartment is new. More undergrats and graudate school students live in the apartment. Easy to walk or take a bus to school.

Not too many MBA classmates, only 5 in all, which is both good and bad depending on what you are looking for.

Overall the place is pretty good. The apartments are fairly new and equipped with modern appliances. The complex is pretty quite with the occasional weekend party, they dont happen frequent enough to be an issue. Maintenence and staff are great. They are super responsive to your request. Getting to campus is a breeze. You have quick access to the LaSalle Loop bus line which drops off and picks up right across from Fuqua. If you don't want to ride the bus it is a nice 20/25 min walk to Fuqua as well.

The Heights was a great social place for our MMS class as majority of the class lived there, however, the poor property management and high prices is what would make me change my mind if I had to do it all over again. There are plenty other nice living arrangements close to campus that should be evaluated before settling on the Heights.
