10/10 Place

Positives:
- Trinity Commons Apartments offer fantastic amenities and a great location with convenient access to popular food spots like Heavenly Buffalo, CVS, Dunkin' and Chipotle, all within walking distance.
- The 18-minute walk to campus is manageable, making it convenient for those without cars.
- a 5 minute drive to Ninth street (you just take Erwin down the road and you're there)
- The apartments themselves have lots of natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
- The resident mix leans toward law and med students, which brings a balanced vibe for those looking for a quieter environment than typical Fuqua housing.
- the walls are thick!
- you can't hear the train

Apartment Layout:
The 1.5 bed, 1 bath layout is functional, with enough space for solo living or a bit of extra storage.
There's also 1 b 1 bath options that are about 1600!

Negatives:
The only downsides are the very tall cabinets, which might require a step ladder for easier access, and a relatively small clothes closet space.

Great location, apartment and amenities were average

Ok experience- apartment was big and had relatively new appliances. Had a lot of maintenance issues, especially with flooding in the hallway that management was not responsive to. Great location to med school.

Trinity

Only pro of living here is the location. Otherwise, the apartment is poorly maintained and not worth the price you pay for rent.

Overall great, but it's a little expensive considering amenities in the room

The apartment is overall great, the managing party is helpful and responsive, and the location is pretty near the West Campus. But the price is a bit high considering the amenities in the dorm are a bit unsatisfactory. Red molds and mildew always appear in the bathtub, the sink, and the toilet, even after repeated cleaning. The elevators sometimes shut down. There are cockroaches in the hallway, and sometimes in the dorm.

expensive but safe bet for international student

a lot of international students live here; it's clean and has a functional gym; I feel that a lot of the utilities are not necessary and also expensive but we are still required to pay, like trash valet and the parking which we do not need

Not worth it for the price

My first year at Trinity I loved it. But then there was a change in the management. Nothing is included in the rent and everything is so expensive (insane fees like being charged a parking fee even if you don’t have a car). There are consistent issues with the trash pick up and the parking garage is always broken. I love the location but that is about it.

Getting around Erwin - LaSalle


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.
