I love Trinity Commons! It is walking distance from campus, which is so convenient for class, weekly COVID tests, and for rotations during second year in the hospital. The apartment is incredibly safe- there is a security guard, you need keys to get into the apartment garage and floors, etc. I love my room, and it has the perfect amount of space and light. The entire management staff is incredibly responsive and kind, and all of my maintenance requests are completed within a day. There are so many events hosted for guests, and the amenities are great.

I live in a 2bed2bath at Trinity Commons and it is a great option for Duke Med students. It is only a ~10-15 minute walk from TSCHE, and there are a number of restaurants and businesses right across the street. However, the location comes with its downsides because the immediate surrounding area is not that great for walking (i.e., no neighborhood/community/park to walk in). The management is the best I've ever had; they always have fun events, they are very responsive and easy to work with, and they know your names! The amenities are great (resistance pool, sauna, courtyards, etc). Parking is included and is very convenient because the garage is also 7 floors like the building so you can park on the floor you live on.
Fairly major con is that it is expensive but comparable to surrounding apartment complexes.

Trinity Commons is located less than a 10-minute walk from the medical school. Staff are incredibly prompt, helpful and friendly and the amenities are kept clean and in good shape. Some of the apartments units show a little bit of wear but overall are clean and comfortable spaces to call home! Staff also host fun giveaways and events for residents nearly every week and bring local food trucks by often.

Quiet & close to campus. These are my main priorities, and Trinity delivers!

Amazing management

Floor plans are very variable in terms of sunlight (some get very very very little sunlight) and floor plan. Lots of cockroaches at times especially as it gets cold. Close to campus (10 min walk). Gym is nice but if something is broken then it takes a long time to fix (example: hot tub has been broken for months).

Closest apartment to the medical school building. Walls are very thin and loud. Poor storage space and very bad kitchen storage space.

I've really enjoyed living in Trinity! The location is great and I live close to many of my classmates. My boyfriend (non-med student) and I got a 2 bed 2 bath and he uses the second bedroom as an office because he works from home. However, I do occasionally hear far-off gunshots and temperature control is difficult because we have so many large windows.

Management is very responsive!

The service of the leasing office is very good. And this is one of the closest apartments from Duke.
However, smoking is strictly prohibited so this is a disadvantage for smokers. In addition, sometimes the fire alarm malfunctioned and it is super noisy.
