My review

Heights is a really good place to live overall, with good surrounding, amenity and ok managements.

The thing I like the most is the community. Even though Durham is not a big city and does not have that many fancy restaurants, around Heights you have Harris Teeter, a big super market, with Chick-Fil-A, Donkins, and Shanghai Chinese food in the same plaza. On the other side of Heights you can go to Chipotle, some Japanese Sushi and Teriyaki places, and Vienam Pho places. All these places are not actually walking distance but you can walk there without putting too much effort. It is also a really good place because a lot of classmates live here so it is easy for us to connect. The overall surrounding I think is perfect.

Heights also have amenities such as the meeting rooms, gyms, bbq places, and the pool. Even though I did not use them that often, by looking at them it is always available even though they are not big.

I personally don't like the management that well because sometimes there will just be no one to pick up the phones and hard to connect to the managements. However, the person who works there are really nice and willing to help.

I say lots of sunlight but lack of sunlight, and this is not a mistake. Because the community is a really beautiful place that you can feel the sunlight and nature by just walking in the community. Yet in the apartments there are not a lot of lights so you might have to buy some extra to make your room bright enough, and thats what I mean lack of sunlight.

Great Apartment Complex

The complex is great, the floor plans are great, and the bus stop to Fuqua is right outside the complex making it convenient for students. Overall I have been satisfied living here!

The Heights at LaSalle

The apartment and the complex itself is pretty nice, very spacious and pretty new. The neighborhood is great and pretty close to the university, and there is a bus from outside the apartment to the law school which is great. We get free breakfasts 5 days a week, the common room is beautiful and there is a nice pool. However, we did get our apartment in a pretty bad situation (some broken tiles, horrible smell, etc.) that was eventually fixed. In addition, the management is pretty awful (e.g., one of my friends has told me that the manager made some racist comments towards them).

Highly recommend

Heights is a great place to live. Apartments are big, well maintained, kitchen appliances are in good condition, maintenance service is prompt, pool area is really pretty, gym and lounge is good too. Bus stop right outside to go downtown or to Fuqua, but also walking distance from Fuqua. Right next to the gas station convenience store. 15 minute walk to the grocery store. Very safe - can only enter the building with a fob key or code.

Except some unpleasant insects, Heights is a good choice, which is near Lasalle Loop bus station and 11 route. Pretty convenient for living.

Convenient to go to school

The largest advantage is the location which is on the route of LL Bus. The community have plenty of parking space if you own a car. But the price is slightly expensive with only the minimum amenity such as gym, conference room and pool.

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.
