Great Option

Not many graduate students, mostly undergraduates, however it's close to everything/night life and class. Very convenient

C Square Review

A lot of undergrad students, dog park is usually dirty or broken, pool gets shut down a lot, they are good at fixing issues in appliances though

Great Apartment!

Great location, makes it very easy to be social as an MBA. Right in the middle of Franklin Street. My only complaint is that the building is a bit undergrad heavy, but the convenience / amenities make it worth it.

Best location you can have!

The apartment is a little smaller than other options but the location on Franklin more than makes up for it!

Overall Good Experience

I’ve had an overall good experience now that the new management team has taken over. There are a lot of undergrads that live here so it gets loud & obnoxious sometimes, especially on the weekends. Unit is nice and I’ve enjoyed my apartment.

About Franklin Street

Franklin Street is Chapel Hill's hub for UNC students, with plenty of options for nightlife and dining. As such, the area tends to be a bit noisier and a lot more crowded than other neighborhoods around Chapel Hill but you won't find a more happening spot. Popular music venues include The Station, L...

Living near Franklin Street is amazing! It allows you to walk to restaurants/bars and making it feel like a college town. If you like walking to things, this is the place to be!
Reviewed by Kenan-Flagler MBA Student living at Carolina Square
All the bars and restaurants are right here, it's a close walk to campus, and also to Carborro.
Reviewed by Kenan-Flagler Business School Student living at Rosemary Village
Walking distance to all bars and restaurants, living on the west end also walkable to Carrboro

10 minute drive to school and grocery

Borders a rough neighborhood behind Rosemary Street so must always keep doors locked and never walk home alone.

Depending on where you live it can be noisy with undergrads - steer clear of The Warehouse Apartments and Chancellor Square that are next to Bobs on either side.
Reviewed by Kenan-Flagler MBA Student living at Carolina Square
I've loved that I'm walking distance to everything on Franklin Street and that I've been able to engage with more of the greater UNC campus than my peers in the MBA program.
Reviewed by Kenan-Flagler MBA Student living at Rosemary Village
Walkable to most restaurants and bars. Not on Franklin St, so not as much noise but Rosemary St. can still be pretty busy.
Reviewed by Kenan-Flagler MBA Student living at 503 Pritchard Ave
Perfect if you want great access to bar/restaurants and to be around other students

Close to everything! Bus line, downtown restaurants and bars, grocery stores.
