Van Alen Apartments

Love it here. Worth every penny. Extremely safe and has every amenity I could ask for. Management is very friendly. Don't see myself moving out for as long as I stay in Durham.

Couldn’t be happier with where I chose to live. The flat is amazing and so are the staff. They are super helpful and really try to help you settle in

It is amazing to live near downtown Durham. We are walking distance to many great cafes restaurants and bars. The property staff is so kind and helpful. There is a great pool and rooftop for hosting friends. I highly recommend van alen and the downtown area.

Van Alen is the nicest place to live in Durham. It has more amenities than a busy law student could use. The gym is perfect with free weights, treadmills, machines, and peloton bikes. The apartment has a sauna and steam room.

The management is very nice and fixes any issues immediately. The apartment complex is quiet. Van Alen does not rent to any undergrads. The apartment population is mostly young professionals/grad students. 20% of the population is people over 35. However, there are no young kids running around screaming.

It comes with two floors of garage parking. The garage is closed off. Someone cannot walk in off the street and get to the garage. I would not live anywhere in Durham that does not have a closed off garage.

Van Alen is directly across the street from the Durham Courthouse and the Durham Bulls stadium. You can watch Durham Bulls games from the beautiful rooftop patio. The rooftop patio provides great views of North Carolina sunsets.

I have not had any problems living at Van Alen. Although rent prices may seem high per month, Van Alen offers 9 month leases. If you don't plan to spend the summer in Durham then Van Alen is just as affordable as other apartments in the area.

Van Alen is beautiful. The property and the apartments are well kept. The staff and concierge are amazing. The only downside is the guest parking. There are very limited guest parking spots.

very good - lived here for two years

Great experience living here. Apartments are solid and feel like home. Spacious with great amenities and features. Management team is responsive, communicative and helpful.

Loved living here. Great restaurants around and very walkable. Apartment management is great and very willing to help with anything

It's super safe and feels very secure; the management team is really communicative and responsive to problems; they want to build a sense of community and put on a TON of events; the folks at the front desk are REALLY friendly; the pool is gorgeous and everything is clean; I haven't experienced neighbors making a lot of noise late at night...the apartments are gorgeous.

The complex is very nice, the units are modern, the pool and gym and nice, and downtown Durham is a cool location. It is faiurly quiet, can sometimes here the people above and below me but not too much of an issue. I can also just hear cars go by often as its right next to the highway. I love the free coffee machine in the lobby. Living in Downtown Durham is cool, and the drive is pretty manageable, about 7-10 minutes. I will say that as a 1L, I don't get to experience all downtown Durham has to offer as much as I would have hoped. I may have chosen to live closer to the law school if I realized that.
