I have had a pretty good experience at this apartment complex. It is within walking distance of the medical school and hospital, has reasonable prices for the space you get and has very low pet fees. It also has a large gym space and has many amenities for residents. Management is less responsive than I would like, but maintenance responds quickly and has fixed all of the problems I have had with the apartment.

Great location (very convenient), nice apartments, convenient maintenance portal, and nice perks, but pricey for Durham.

I love the layout of the apartment and the large amount of space in most rooms. I think the location is great and parking for both guests and current residents is outstanding. Being close to small eateries and a UPS (for amazon returns) is also a plus! On the down side, management and maintenance are very slow. It sometimes takes over a week and multiple attempts at communication to solve a problem (unless it is urgent). The apartment, while nice, also does not have the most updated appliances. Definitely worth touring to see if it will suit your needs.

apartments are beautiful and spacious with up to date renovations.
location is excellent: 10-15 min walk to campus and 1 min walk to eateries (right next to erwin exchange) and short drive to other popular places in durham

only con is that the leasing office isn't the most friendly/helpful at times

1) Management is incompetent. They do not communicate and there is no manager in house so nothing major will ever get resolved. I had leaking windows and every time I went to the office it was like they had never heard about the problem. Took forever to get fixed and they were always giving me attitude as if it was exorbitant for me to expect windows that don't leak.

2) Personally I think these are overpriced but you can't really do anything about that. They are less expensive than Trinity and Erwin Flats for the amount of space in the apartment.

3) Gym facility is small and has old equipment.

4) Don't get conned by the "movie theater" you can only use it during business hours

5) Floors and walls are so thin I can hear other people's phone alarms and street conversations. Can literally hear people's shoes hitting the pavement if they're running down the street. Sounds like an elephant is living upstairs even if someone is walking lightly/normally.

What I like: spacious floor plan, walking distance to food and school

Really convenient to walk to campus as a medical student and great space for the price. The gym is nice except sometimes the machines don't work. There are multiple study spaces in the leasing office (2 conference rooms, 2 cubicles, and some tables). The leasing office staff are usually pretty responsive. Overall, I really enjoy living here.

1.Near to west campus, especially School of Medicine.
2.Some restaurants locates in the neighborhood with several minutes of walk.
3.Safety. No robbery happens in the past year.
4.Nice facilities and activities within the community.

This complex is in the ideal location for graduate students at Duke. You can walk to campus, and there are plenty of food options along Erwin Rd. The management maintains a fairly clear at

Really poor insulation in my apartment --> high electricity bill

Very close to school, good amenities, a lot of other students live here
