Ideal for international students without cars since it is walking distance to school and the bus stop is right across the street. It is affordable and generally decent quality.
The apartments are room-y and washer/dryer are in the apartments.

Great value and near Fuqua but not many other Fuquans live here.

Great for families.

Living at the Belmont is very convenient as a Fuqua student. The complex is slightly older than the newer apartment complexes nearby (Lofts, Trinity, etc.) but is a much better price, similar amenities, and more comfortable apartment. I am a pet owner and the patio and space is great for a cat or small dog. They've had issues with security in the past, but you can set up an alarm system in each apartment and I haven't felt unsafe while living here. I chose this place for the price, 15 minute walk to campus, and comfort - all of these needs have been met!

The complex is lovely, with well maintained gardens, track around the lake, and grills for public use. The pool, main club house, gym, squash court and wifi room are well maintained and suitable. The maintenance team respond, and have fixed, all apartment issues within 24 hours. The apartments are quaint though don't expect nice finishes: the socket wall brackets (for electricity plugs) regularly fall off the walls, the walls and doors have been painted so many times that the paint will come off in chunks, and no care has been taken with the accuracy of the paint job (particularly the inside of storage cupboards where there is no paint job!). The convenient location, being an easy walk to Duke Campus, including Fuqua, Law, Sanford & Nicholas, makes this a great location. Also a very quiet community and neighbours. Not for those who want to live with, and have strong social connections to, their neighbours.

We lived in the back of the Belmont complex (by the gate) - which is convenient to walk to Fuqua (and get picked up by Uber along the back road). It's quiet, clean, and the management is very responsive to requests. Our one bedroom apartment was perfect for the amount we spent - and we had plenty of storage. An extra garage is only $50 per month.

Also, there's a beautiful lake on the complex and an updated gym. Mostly, I just like being on the bus line and close to Fuqua.

The Belmont has great proximity to Fuqua and a small collection of fast food, as well as a cluster of students who live in the surrounding buildings (Lofts, Trinity, Heights). We chose it for the large pond for walking our dog, and it has been great. Management is okay, and maintenance is responsive and generally quick. There are probably more undergraduate seniors here than other buildings, but there are also a lot of graduate students and people who work at the nearby hospital - we haven't experienced a noise problem at all on the top floor. It's great to have a real balcony and such a low cost per square foot, but they make up for it by having fewer amenities. If you don't want to pay for things you won't use that much, this is a great spot. Plus, you can afford the $5 Uber ride to S9 where all of your friends will be, because of all of the money you'll save in rent and parking passes.
