Character in Durham

One of the few apartments with character in Durham - high ceilings and exposed brick. I pay hundreds of dollars less as my friends in other 1 bedroom apartments in other buildings. No amenities but I rarely used them in my old apartment (and you're across from a Pure Barre here). Location is amazing. Management is very friendly and helpful. Walls are a bit thin, but hasn't been a huge problem. There are a lot of undergrads that live here, but again hasn't been a big issue.

Resident

Pro: The location is perfect, close to HT supermarket, can walk to east campus to take the free school bus in 10 mins. High-performance cost ratio
Con: Very bad sound insulation.

Good for me, read description if good for you!

I live in the Erwin Mill Apartments and love it. It is right on 9th street and directly next to a grocery store, and the rent is as cheap as you can get in this area. The apartments are unique with wood beams and ceilings. The kitchen appliances are stainless steel, and our unit is a 1-bedroom loft, so we have two floors.

The cons are:
1) The apartment has a lot of undergrads. Some people who have lived here have complained that they're very loud, but we haven't had an issue at all. It might be a matter of luck, and we just got lucky. However, if undergrads annoy you, don't move here. We just don't mind them.
2) There aren't too many amenities. Personally I don't mind not having a pool or gym because we have access to all of that on campus, but if you're a person who likes to use your apartment's services, this wouldn't be the place for you. It's definitely a reason it's so affordable in a great location.
3) You have to rent a washer/dryer for about $50 a month or bring your own. If you rent, they install it for you. We bought a washer/dryer secondhand and that's worked really well for us.

Erwin Mills - great spot to live!

I have lived in Erwin Mills for over 2 years now and have found it a wonderful place to live. It is conveniently located about halfway between downtown and the medical campus. I can easily walk most places and there is also public and Duke transportation available only a few steps from the building. The managing company is very personable and attentive to concerns. Would recommend living here.

Hidden Gem

9th Street apartments right next to B9 and S9 but much cheaper and much larger. $1600/month for 1400+ square feet with exposed brick walls and 12 foot ceilings. The only down side is there is no pool or gym. Brodie gym is a 5-10 min walk and you can go to your friends pool at S9 and B9. Everyone who comes to our apartment is jealous.

Ninth Street Reviews

264 reviews
Neighborhood has been great. Haven't been commuting to school all that frequently for obvious reasons, but takes less than 10 minutes to do so. I can grab everything I need and meet with friends all within walking distance. Durham could use more street lights in general, but in terms of safety, I think 9th street is your best option!
Best place to live hands down. Next to the supermarket, so many food options and many complexes in the area. Near downtown and Duke. Great if you’re new in town because it is super safe. Perfect if you have a car because the only downside is that depending on what Duke school you’re in it might not be walking distance.
Ninth Street is super walkable and majority of Fuquans live in the area. Definitely worth it to pay a little more to live in walking distance of so many classmates. Plus the restaurants on Ninth Street are great, and a short walk (~3 mins) to East Campus to use the walking trail!
Everything is close: other complexes like S9, B9; bars like flying bull, the tavern, supermarkets like Harris Teeter or Whole Foods, East campus hiking route.

You can get to the school by bus (45 mi) or by car (10 min). Carpooling is very commom.
Neighborhood is fine. All the Duke grad students live in the same area so it makes for a pleasant student community, and there are some decent restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance.
Harris Teeter and Whole Foods are right nearby, and the area feels generally safe. 5 min from the highway if you need to drive outside of Durham. ~10 min to get to the WaDuke/Science Drive.
The 9th St. neighborhood is great because it is within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants on 9th St. It could be better if it were closer to Fuqua and/or downtown Durham.
All the restaurants around the 9th street area are within 5 mins walk from the complex. The campus is an 8-10 minute drive. Downtown Durham is also an 8-10 minute drive away.
