The Hartley at Blue Hill

We chose the Hartley for the location and its central to everything we wanted to do. 10min drive to campus. 15mins away from Durham to enjoy the food and bars there. And along a major highway to get us into Raleigh in about 30mins. Also it’s right by three grocery stores and food options across the street.
The apartments themselves look nicer than they really are. A lot of the materials are cheap but it’s very livable. If you are coming from a more expensive or urban area (we came from DC) then this may be a bit of a let down.
It does have a lot of amenities, and the pools are nice.

Love that I live in a new unit. Facilities at clean and staff is easy to work with.

I’ve been living at the Hartley since the summer, and I absolutely love it here. The people who live in the community are really friendly, and it creates such a welcoming atmosphere. As someone who lives alone, I feel very safe here, which is really important to me. The location is also super convenient since it’s close to everything, especially campus, so I never have any issues getting back from school. Overall, it’s been a great place to live, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and safe place near campus.

I've really enjoyed the Hartley. The floor plans were better laid out than other apartments and the finishes are pretty nice for a large complex. The amenities are great and are all useful (I felt like other apartments had almost too many amenities that were not actually helpful). The soundproofing is much better than any other apartment I've lived in which is great for studying. My only complaint is that rent is pretty steep, but it's much more manageable if you have a roommate. I think it's worth it for the location and quality. The management is ok. I had a difficult time getting timely responses when I was trying to get a lease signed, and it was difficult to get approved being a student with no income. They weren't very receptive to proof of savings/investment accounts.

I've really enjoyed living at the Hartley! Really nice size, great gym, and great distance to Ephesus park and McColl.

Lot my unit, management is really nice, my biggest complaint is my AC unit rattles and often breaks

The Hartley is a luxury apartment where you get what you pay for. It's a new building but starting to fill up recently. Last year (2023), the capacity was around 50% but now starting to feel closer to 90%. The general resident is a graduate student with or without a roommate, young working professional, and a handful of families with young kids. My only complaint is hearing the people above us walking/stomping, but I'm sure that is similar to all neighboring apartments. The staff are amazing and super responsive. All of the amenities are amazing and covers all of your basic needs.

The Hartley is Chapel Hill's newest apartment and is located in an ideal spot. Close to numerous grocery stores, restaurants, and a major shopping center. The Hartley is less than 3 miles to KFBS, and is also on the ideal side of Chapel Hill to easily get to Durham and Raleigh.

Great Apartment and management

It's a new build that isn't fully leased out, so it is pretty quiet. A lot of UNC grad students live here, along with nurses. It's a great complex with really nice management (they know everyone by name). There is also free coffee and tea in the front lobby. No key fob or key, everything is unlocked via phone.
