Great Price, Great Area, Decent Apartment

The parking here is super easy, never an issue finding a spot. It is a 15 minute walk to Kenan-Flagler. Super chill neighborhood, great for running. The apartments aren't super nice but they get the job done and you can't beat the location in my opinion.

Centrally located, low-maintenance landlord

The apartment isn't fancy or new, but it has everything a humble grad students needs (no more, no less). The location is great - walking distance to KFBS and a quick drive to anywhere in town. Buses to Carrboro and Franklin St pick up just a block away. The landlord is extremely responsive and low key. The flooring is all tile, so it's great for people with pets (easy to clean!).

The downsides: it's not convenient to any shopping, and the only nearby restaurant is Merritt's (which is actually the one place I would want within walking distance). Having a low-key landlord sometimes translates into having a bit of a run-down property. For example, the landscaping is pretty bad and there are no rules about parking, which translates to occasional chaos. But everything in the apartment works properly and is in good condition. There's no pool or gym, and you won't find "upgrades" like granite countertops.

It's not fancy, but it I have enjoyed living here.

About Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill has a suburban feel, with many single-family homes and quiet streets. The neighborhood is not particularly walkable, with few shops and restaurants within walking distance. The neighborhood is located near several major highways, including I-40 and US-15, making it easy to get around by ...

It's very quiet: mostly graduate students and some families. Very convenient for getting to McColl. It is tucked away in the corner of campus so if you want to walk anywhere, it takes about a mile to get into campus. I would recommend having a car for this neighborhood since there are no grocery stores within walking distance.

Love being right on Franklin street. Walking distance to football games and tailgates as well as restaurants and bars on Franklin.

Lots of food options around the building. I regularly walk my dog in the area around the apartment.

The neighborhood is mostly for other UNC students.

Carrboro is really cool, if slightly offbeat place to be. Weaver St Market and a bevy of other restaurants/smaller places make it a good food hub. For things going on, there are things like the Carrboro Arts Fest, weekly "Carrboro Street Markets" with lots of vendors, and a flurry of other community-oriented activities.

Have enjoyed my time there.

Lots of stores, gym in neighborhood, church, groceries--basically a little town. Con is that it almost feels a bit "Pleasantville." That said, the Walmart up the road (<2 min) is wonderful as is Fig & Honey and the huge Harris Teeter (<5 min away) in Chatham county. Families and children amidst Med School students and retirees. Great feeling, awesome convenience to UNC and downtown CH. Highly recommend.

Neighborhood feels super safe. Little kids will like the playground on-site. Lots of friends for them to play with. Elementary school (Glenwood) is awesome, if not old. Plenty of community events to meet people and for kids to play. I like it here, and recommend it to most people.

The neighborhood is very convenient for business grad students, however, it is far from everything else. You need to get a car for everything, except going to school. It still compensates, given that uber is cheap in the region and the convenience to go to school is amazing.
