Nothing in walking distance, but nearby Duke

It's really about a mile away from anything else so walking isn't always an option. It's in a good location for going to class but not much else.

Something different to S9

Does not offer the social hot spot of a Station 9 but you are closer to fuqua (20 min walk or take the free bus).

Relatively new apartment complex, serene environment, a lot of parking space, and good amenities. Free wifi in the club house + conference rooms.

Might find bedrooms to be on smaller side but large bathrooms (not that i need a bathroom that big). Good interior decor.

Enjoyable experience

I have lived by myself in a single bedroom apartment at the Heights. Overall, I have enjoyed living here. The lactation is excellent because of its proximity to West Campus (Specifically) Fuqua, as well as restaurants and grocery stores. It is a bit pricey, but you are paying for convenience. The amenities are nice as well, and the clubhouse is great for team meetings.

Good value!

Good value for your money especially if you have a roommate. I was referred from MMS student year before. Majority of social scene is here where mms students live.

Worth it for students

The MMS program is 10 months so I chose this place because it was less than 5 minutes from school. I save money on gas and parking by taking the Duke shuttle that comes every few minutes and drops me right off at Fuqua. The heights serves continental breakfast Monday thru Friday morning, so I usually grab breakfast and head to the shuttle. There are study rooms available so group meetings are easy. My apartment is large yet cozy, with nice countertops, washer and dryer, and new appliances. I live alone as a single woman and I feel very safe. Oh and the pool is the icing on the cake.... PERFECT for pool parties.

Nice apartments with easy access to everything

The Heights at LaSalle has been a great place to live. The complex is new so the amenities are pretty modern. It is within walking distance to campus or you can easily catch the LaSalle Loop bus with has a stop in front on the complex. The units are a fairly good size. I have a roommate and live in the smaller 2bd model and still have plenty of space. Overall the complex is solid. The staff is great, the complex is quite, and you are within walking distance or short bus ride to campus and 5 min drive to 9th street or the grocery store.

Getting around Erwin - LaSalle


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.
