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.

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

Trinity Properties is a no frills experience. The value for the responsive management and the space is fantastic. Although it is older, and things often break, they are quick to respond an fix it. Having direct access to the outdoors has been a blessing during the pandemic. Management even allows us to build our own gardens. Parking is included though it is not covered. 15-20 minute walk to Fuqua and the Nicholas school (avoiding that costly parking pass). This is a super easy place for anyone commuting on West Campus that is cost conscious.

This is perfect for me and my husband. They are small units but are in a really quite little cul-de-sac with great neighbors. Also a little dog park in the middle of the complex. Very pretty in the spring.

Walking distance from Fuqua, Sanford, and the Law School so you can save on parking costs.

Overall a nice place to stay. I like the fact that it is a stand-alone housing (townhouse) so there is no real neighbor issue (at least not for us). The area itself seems pretty safe (to my standard). Few issues I would complain about. One is that the building is very old with cranky hardwood floor and bad insolation. It makes a lot of noise when we walk up and down the stairs, and when our neighbors are doing the same, we can hear them too (sometimes can even hear them turn on the shower). During winter the heat escapes pretty fast and the heating would have to run constantly to keep the house warm.

We are in the unit that close to Erwin Terrace and campus, about 15 min walk to Pratt. The rent is reasonable and the house has nothing fancy but all the necessary appliance.

Poplar West townhomes are older and quieter. The management is extremely responsive when things naturally break down at an older townhome. They are about 15 minutes walking distance to Fuqua and have some cute restaurants nearby. If you are looking to stay away from the craziness of 9th street, while not spending a ton, this is a great option.

Convenient to Duke University and cute small apartments with relatively helpful maintenance staff. Peaceful bird sounds. Management recently installed washers and dryers in all units. No interior insulation and wood floors = hear everything your neighbor does, says, and every footstep they take. Pet friendly and low pet rent I think mine is $15/month.

Good townhouses close to campus and on the Duke bus route. Good for students, although a bit isolated.

The thermal isolation is very bad, and the ground floor is cold all the time. In the summer roaches appear, although the property owners always try to help and send people to deal with it. Even though electricity bills in winter are higher than in other places, is one of the cheapest options. They are just installing a washing machine and a dryer in mine, before doing the laundry was a bit tedious.
