Extremely affordable and great stay!
Poplar West is a very affordable and convenient stay. It is located near Belmont and Heights. It is a 25-minute walk from The Fuqua School of Business.
Pros
1. Extremely affordable rent
2. Clean and spacious townhomes
3. Houses include a dishwasher, fridge, washer, dryer
4. Friendly property management
5. Pet friendly
6. Quiet and peaceful community
Cons
1. Occasional pest (cockroaches) problem, but not uncommon for houses in Durham
2. Thin walls, so sound travels very easily between houses
3. Air conditioning is average, and can cost higher electricity bills
4. No garbage pickup
5. No dedicated apartment security. Not a gated community!
Note: Rent does not include water, electricity, and internet. Please factor in that when evaluating.

Very good value for given price
So far I like it. I am not a very party person and that’s why I love this quiet place.

Positive experience but a bare bones place
Poplar West has been everything I needed. It's spacious, thick walls, great light, and it's walking distance to campus. These apartments are definitely older: cracks in walls, aged wood floors, not so stylish appliances. To be totally honest, I'm pretty sure the price is going to increase like $200 in the next year, and I plan to move. The value was a huge reason I'm living here now and I don't think my apt is worth that increase. Unfortunately it's probably still the cheapest or one of the cheapest in the LaSalle area.

Poplar West
The location is fantastic (<1 mile) bike or walk to TSCHE, the rent is unbeatable, and the community is very friendly and almost entirely gradaute students and young professionals. Highly recommend for pet owners (only $100 one-time fee & $10 per month), awesome dog park in the center of the neighborhood and plenty of fellow dog owners.
The buildings are old and there are cockroaches in all of the apartments. However, management is very good about sending exterminators. After a rough first month, we have had almost no pest issues since.

Close to Duke and affordable neighborhood
I have had a good time in this apartment. It is partially furnished (stove, fridge, washer, and dryer). It is close to West Campus (I spend 15- or 20-minutes walking to the School of Public Policy and less than five minutes biking). It is close (15 to 20 minutes' walk) to a grocery store that offers a wide variety of articles. Highly recommended for someone who wants to save money, walk, and have a quiet life in Durham.

Just fine
Good points:
The location is good - very close to Duke Bus Stop and just 20min walking from Law School
For every problem that I had, I just contacted Trinity Office and they sent someone to fixed - i.g.: spray the apartment, change the lamp, fix the switch, etc.
Weak points:
The apartment wasn't in very good condition when I arrived. I had to clean by myself.
I also had problems with cockroaches. However, it seems quite normal in this area.

Its a good place with a good price for rent
the apartment is a bit old, and some things need to get fixed, but the management has been very responsive to my requests. It is a good price for this much space as long as you don't mind living in a place that is old

Great property
Awesome rent prices and extremely pet friendly (dog park across the street and only $10/month rent increase). The units themselves are old and kind of falling apart, but they are large and management is incredible and respond very quickly to any maintenance issues that may arise.

Good quality for the rent price
Considering the price of the house, it provides great value. There is a big front yard and this specific unit has a lot of windows so plenty of sunlight.
A point of improvement is pest control as it is next to a group of trees and there is lawn all around thus, a lot of insects usually come into the house. Finally, it's location is an advantage as it is close to bus stations and Duke West Campus
