Terrible place

Packages and deliveries get stolen all the time, and the leasing office doesn’t care about it at all. Cars parked in the apartment get smashed occasionally. Could hear gunshots at night once a week. People constantly get mugged in the area. No inside parking.

Great Apartment

My experience has been excellent! While I initially had some concerns about theft, this year, significant amendments have been made to enhance security and safety. Overall, I can't complain. I strongly recommend it, especially for its accessibility to Fuqua and Belmont, ensuring you'll never feel lonely. There's also a bus stop right outside and a gas station across the street for last minute snacks.

Although it might be a little pricey, the amenities justify the cost. You'll enjoy a great gym, a nice leasing office with team rooms, games, and a coffee machine, and you get free breakfast every morning. The apartments are luxurious and spacious. You may have to furnish it, but that's for most housings around so shouldn't make a difference. Overall, its nice and accessible.

Clean, Affordable, Modern, and close to Fuqua

Closest you can get to campus without compromising on quality or cost.

Solid choice

Nothing spectacular, but a good balance of everything. Proximity to school, rent, quality of room, neighborhood, etc.

Nice apartment but everything else, meh

My apartment is a great size for one person/ someone who lives alone. It’s mostly quiet and is within walking distance of campus. Management is nice and has always responded to my concerns.

However, the hallways are not super clean because people leave their trash out on non-valet trash days. The pool was closed for a few months because of maintenance. The gym is pretty small with minimal equipment.

I love it

It’s quiet. The management is super friendly and responsive. I hate Valet Trash, but every building in Durham seems to have that. I love my apartment!!?

Great place to live

Love living here. 5 minutes from campus via bus or car, and the amenities are pretty nice, especially the pool! The rooms are nice size and same with the living space.

Immersive experience

Heights is a fairly accessible accommodation which allows you to stay connected with majority of the graduate cohort. Although a little expensive, it certainly is safe bet if you’re new to the city.

Erwin - LaSalle Reviews

430 reviews
It's been perfectly fine. People are nice but it's not much of a community, just a place where people live. Behind the Belmont which had a spate of robberies a few months back, but the Flats is further away from the main road and is better lit. So far no security incidents or concerns at the Flats. Affordability depends on which apartment complex you choose in the Erwin-LaSalle area. Wide range in rents, ranging from very expensive to very affordable depending on which one you pick.
The broader neighborhood's chief attribute is convenience to Duke. A lot of students live in the apartment complexes around here. It can be inconvenient sometimes getting to a supermarket from the neighborhood, though (eventually they're going to re-open a Harris Teeter on Hillsborough, which should mitigate this issue somewhat).
The neighborhood was perfectly fine when I started living there, but recently there have been some armed robberies in apartment buildings that are about a 10 minute walk away. However, I would like to say that I have not felt unsafe walking home at night and the security at Trinity is quite high. For example, you have to use a special key to get into the lobby (where a security guard sits after dark) and then you have to use the key to get in from the lobby to where the rooms are, and then again to get into your room. There are about 10 good restaurants within walking distance ranging from greek food to Mexican food to sushi so it's great for a quick dinner when you don't want to cook. There is also a hair salon and a manicure place, as well as a Walgreens pharmacy. We are very close to Duke Hospital and the bus systems are very accessible.
The apartments are close to campus and easily accessible through bus, bike, or walking if desired. There is a nearby Kroger that is a less than 5 min drive away just up LaSalle St. Overall, there are some older apartments further up the road that have had issues with crime in the past, but The Heights and other apartments around the area seemed to be insulated from those issues.
The food in the area is really accessible and I feel quite safe in the surrounding area, excluding the gas stations and bus stop. I've heard some odd things at night but never seen anything fishy and feel safe coming home at night. +Tons of dogs!
Lofts is right next to a few restaurants - TGIFridays, Chipotle, Enzo's, Noodles, Smash Burger, Sushi Love, etc. The Kroger grocery store is just a few minutes away, off of Lasalle. This is a quiet neighborhood.
Quiet neighbourhood. Conveniently located to West Campus and walking distance to Fuqua. Easy and healthy fast food options nearby. Close to food stores e.g. Kroger & Harris Teeter. Close to WaDuke trail.
Not the safest neighborhood and has little transit. There have been issues at other apartment complexes with safety, but Heights has been very safe. It is absolutely fine to walk around in the day here, but not at night. There are not very many restaurants or bars nearby, although downtown Durham is 10 minutes away.
