This complex of apartments is very nice, very secure, and you can build a great community here. many duke students are leaving here, especially from Chile, Argentina and mexico.

The house has been great, although with a few minor defects that have been solved in the meantime, but if you have a family, this is the place you should live, plenty of open space and playgrounds.

Great neighborhood, surrounded by amazing hikes and forest. The apartments are great, huge spaces, nice view. The only problem is that you are not near the 9 street area (10-12 minutes by car), so if you want to be near the party, this is not your place.

501 estates is a really good place. You can choose between apartments and houses. Rent prices are usually lower than the ninth street area, and you are near the forest.

If you have a pet, a first floor or a house would be the best choice. There are a lot of Duke people living here, and a group of friendly Latin-Americans looking to make this complex a Fuqua student hub. We do carpool between the student that are currently living here.

If you have a partner and/or kids, this is a really nice place to be.

I am a full-time student at Fuqua with two young children and 501 Estates has been great for us. It is not the most luxurious complex but it has a pool, dog park and they're building a new gym. I have a 3 bed/ 3.5 bath townhouse with a garage and it's very spacious.

Century Trinity is an affordable place to live that is less than 10-minute drive from campus. The apartments are not the swankiest but are clean and moderately upgraded. The management can be a bit of a pain when you have to deal with them but my interactions with them have been minimal. It is not a walkable community and you definitely need a car or a neighbor with a car.

Beautiful swimming pool and next to the gardens. Ideal for couples. Easy parking. Low cost. Need a car.

It's not bad. For a very low price, you can get a decent apartment. My initial contract was for about $1000 for a 2Be1Ba. The place is clean and management keeps the property looking nice. Requests are usually taken care of in a timely manner. Some of the features are old, like the shower bath is showing plenty of wear an tear, but for me is acceptable for the price. Pets used to $10/each, but I hear the price is going up this next year. The gym is little and there isn't much to do, I usually work out at school and my partner had to get a membership somewhere else. There isn't a lot of storage, so if you bring a lot of stuff or have a kid plan accordingly. The great thing is that the place is very quiet and can get an awesome night of sleep.

The apartments themselves are nice enough. We moved there so we wouldn't have issues with loud neighbors, as we had heard families at Station 9 or Berkshire 9 might deal with. In retrospect, it would have been worth living at Station 9 or Berkshire 9 so as to be in closer proximity to my classmates. The noise level difference was negligible.

It is also not very secure. Several people's cars were broken into and the police officer who handled the situation said this happens every year at Century Trinity and Garret West.

Management is absolutely terrible to deal with, bordering on outright disrectfulness.

Great and family friendly
