Chapel Towers is the cheapest and closest apartment complex to Fuqua. If you are like me and only needs a clean, decent living space without luxury amenities, and have the ability to walk 15 mins to class, then this is the best place for the money. Ninth street is also just a 8 min drive or bus ride away.

Starting with a few negatives:
You wont get a community feel at this appartment. While there are a lot of graduate students living here everyones seperated with no central meeting place.
Bugs can be a problem. Even being on the upper floor you have to keep your place clean unless you want some bugs hanging out with you. If you do though they arent much of a problem at all.

Pros:
Great location right off duke campus. Easily within walking distance for all my classes.
Good student package options for utilities and rent. Most everything is included.
Cheaper than most other options around.
Neighbors are quiet and respectable. (in my experience)
Management has been understanding and kind. One of the only apartments that actually emailed and called me back when I was looking initially.

If you're looking for a great place to stay that looks really nice and has a community feel this isnt for you. If you want a place thats cheaper to stay at, dont mind outside looks like me, and just want a place that works at everything with no hassle then its for you.

Close to school with good rent rate.

I wanted to live in a cheap, single apartment, near Duke's campus and I got exactly that, and everything else that you would expect to come with it. The apartment is very affordable, good size, a little old and not the prettiest, and you can see the edge of campus from the apartment complex. Administration services are usually helpful, sometimes unresponsive. You also hear about a monthly crime (mostly theft and automobile break-in, rarely robbery) in the area, which is near west-campus. If you lock you doors and go outside at a reasonable hour you should be okay. Security patrols the property at night.

Calm locality with freshly renovated apartment units.
Located just next to Duke pond and has a bus stop at the main gate.
Responsive management that tends to issues and requests.
Has an indoor gym and a swimming pool (limited hours and summer only).
Armed security on duty 6 pm - 3 am.

If you want a place near duke west campus, chapel tower is the closest one.
It has lot of families living around and has police patrolling van from 7 pm to 2/3 am

The location and build of the appartments are amazing. But the management is not responsive and will not respond to emails. They will promise you something and then not deliver on it later on.

Good experience so far, security is present

Decent property

The management is easily approachable for any kind of issue
