No Longer Worth It

Trinity is located very close to the medical school, which is convenient. But the new management is scammy. I moved out after last year because they increased the rent by a LOT and it was already very expensive to live there. I would have been paying around $2,300 per month including the new mandatory $100 per month internet fee and the new parking fee they instated plus the base rent increase. The new management is crazy. They don't host events anymore and just try to squeeze money out of all the residents wherever they can. A dark apartment with no cell service and roaches is not worth $2,300 per month. Please live somewhere else; it's not worth it.

Close to the campus. But the parking(95$) is mandatory. The rent is relatively high

Close to Fuqua, Luxury Apartment

10 minutes Scooter from Fuqua, nice distance. Right beside the apartment, there are gas stations, restaurants (chipotle, dunkin, pizza, noodle, indian, burgers, etc). Relatively quiet. Safe and Secure. Gym (not the best but if you like cardio it's fine). Pool + Jacuzzi is nice. Game Room with pool (no ping pong).

Con: Elevator often under repair (maybe just the one near me). Wifi outage especially when raining. Studio space is small. Mandatory parking fee ($100) even when I don't have car. Mail room gets messy when there're many packages (easy to lose sometimes). Bad signal in certain area (game room). Studio doesn't have an oven.

Trinity Commons is not the quality it once was

Trinity Commons is still quite and very close to campus. These are my top priorities. However, when new management company bought the building in November 2022, prices have increased and quality (in every imaginable way) has decreased. It has been disappointing.

Good building, bad management

The positives of this complex include the proximity to campus (walkable to Duke West Campus), good apartment interior features (granite countertops, ample storage, wood floors), and good safety. There are also plenty of luxury amenities including a pool, gym, sauna, steam room, courtyard, entertainment areas, etc.

I loved this apartment to live in while it was owned by Norwood Ravin, but since the building was purchased by the Connor Group, the rents have skyrocketed, the management is far less friendly, and fees have been added that previously were not required (including exorbitant fees for parking, amenities, and others). None of this has translated into any improvements on the building itself aside from a coat of blue paint. The garage door still does not function, the fountain functions intermittently at best, and the paint job on apartment doors was done very carelessly.

- very unclean - many roaches and pests throughout the building. at one point, there was feces in a stairwell that wasn’t clean for several wks, despite several complaints to management.
- poor management - constantly overcharged, incompetent staff
- incredible increases in rent for no reason
- no sunlight, pipes filled with mold and roaches

Trinity

I love living at Trinity! I've lived here for 2 years and honestly have no complaints. Maintenance is responsive, they host fun events in the lobby and courtyards, it's a 10 minute walk to the medical school, and it's safe. The units are beautiful, spacious, and well-designed. It's a nice apartment complex while still having a cozy feel.

Trinity Commons at Erwin

Pros: 10 minute walk to Duke Medical Campus. Covered Parking. Community of medical students. 5 minute drive to downtown.

Cons: Price. Large Complex. Occasional cockroach problems, but that is similar to the majority of apartment complexes in Durham.

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.
