There was a break in at our apartment complex right as winter break began in 2020. Otherwise it was very safe. Management is very responsive, helpful, and on top of everything.

I've enjoyed living at the Heights. It is in a good location close to Duke University and within driving distance to restaurants, stores, and downtown Durham. I've had good experiences with management.

This is a great apartment with lower rent than the ones around Ninth Street area, and very close to Fuqua with just 5-minute drive. There's supermarket and plenty of restaurants near by within just 2-minutes drive. Also close to Ninth Street, where all social events happen (5-minute drive).

Moved here after my first year of medical school to get closer to campus and am so glad I did. Heights has beautiful, cozy 2-bedroom apartments that are perfect for a pair of roommates. Bathrooms have high ceilings, mirrors that take up nearly the entire wall and truly look like a 5-star hotel. About a 25-minute walk to the med campus but also has two bus options (Duke LaSalle Loop and GoDurham #11) that pick up at the complex and stop right in front of the med school and the hospital, respectively.

We have had some chronic maintenance issues with our building (leaking during heavy rain, roaches, temperature control issues), but the leasing office is very responsive when one of these issues do arise.

Great location for Duke med students

Building has gym and pool; in unit heating and A/C; maintenance is VERY responsive and competent; in unit washer and dryer

A decent apartment

Overall the apartment is nice. The layout was perfect for me and my roommate, the complex is solid and the (very few) amenities are all good quality, though it is obvious that they're used and management doesn't do much between renters to fix things. One issue is that the Leasing Office is not helpful/useful. Most of the time, they seem to have no idea how to answer your questions (if they even bother to). Additionally, the rent is high given the poor quality management. It is a good option if you want to live close to Duke (though beware that there's a big hill if you choose to walk) and don't plan to stay in the area for more than a year or two. Overall it's a solid place but of course you will have some ups and downs with amenities not working or issues with the poor service from the Leasing Office. Also, they claim to be secure, but it's not as secure as other complexes nearby. Yes, you need a code to drive your car past the gates, and yes, you need a key or code to get into the buildings, but you can also just walk right into the complex...no fence, wall, nothing really.

I love my apartment complex I just wish it was closer to downtown Durham.

Clean facilities, in-unit washer and dryer, excellent and prompt response by building staff, generally pretty quiet
