I lived there for a year and a half. For the first half of that, I was under one group of management. When bell west end came and took it over, the property improved significantly. They are great people who are willing to help you and speak with you. The building is relatively new so things are very nice. Great pool, gym, and study rooms. The location is even better because it's toward downtown which means you're a walk away from the heart of Durham which gives you the full experience. It is still close to campus and is an easy 5 minute drive to towerview. I commuted by the bull city connector but there are many more options if commuting is a worry of yours. I really enjoyed living here because it gave me a different taste of the Duke experience that many students didn't get to witness.

I've had a great experience here so far. The apartment is really close to downtown so you can literally walk to all the nice restaurants, bars & pubs. The only slight issue is that no school bus gets here, but Durham buses (like Bus 6, 6B & the BCC) are what I use. And hopefully the Duke Van would soon add this apartment to its stops.

If you have a car there great parking, we have perks like complimentary breakfast on Saturdays (a lot of times) and an awesome pool & pool-side.

I moved because the price was a lot. I could get something cheaper and better.
Very noisy! I had to sleep with ear plugs in my ears! This place is nice for a few months, but beyond that, you're better off elsewhere. I lived here for one year.
I loved the location, it was very close to my work. Very convenient.

The title says it all. Recently, new management has taken over, so I can't comment on how it will be. The location is awesome, and the amenities are convenient.

New management is here, taking care of the biggest issue that was holding back this place. The rooms are all beautiful and the beds are comfortable. Good amenities. Awesome location near bars and walking distance to downtown. Always parking available.

Living at 605 West now Bell West End has been very easy. The fully furnished option made moving to Durham very easy and the mattress is amazing. The old management company wasn´t perfect but it looks like new management is on top of their game and trying to fix pending issues. Staff is friendly. Apartments are not huge but you really don´t need much more.
