Trash Roomate

Partners place is just a 5 minute drive to Fuqua and is one of the only 3 bedroom options in Durham. The rent is also very competitive with other options in the area.

Spacious apartments at a reasonable price

The apartments are very spacious and I think are the only ones that offer 3 bedrooms as well as 3 bathrooms. Also, the property is clean and well maintained and though it is not a gated community, I have never heard of any crime taking place at the property. Many times there is a cop car stationed at the property at night.

The apartments have the bus stop right outside the property which has the LL bus route that takes you to Duke West Campus and route 11B that takes you to 9th street and downtown. This is what makes it super convenient to move around.

The walk to West campus is only 1.2 miles and also the property is right next to the highway which makes accessibility even easier.

Pros- It's a great 3B3B apartment with all amenities within walking distance from Fuqua (1 mile). Good value for low prices comparing to nearby housing. LL Bus and 11B bus stops are right outside. In addition to the kitchen and hall, you hava a separate Dining Room and Sunroom in the unit.
Cons- We had a bad experience with the management, but there are other apartments at Partners place with differrnt management. Recommend top floor apartments for better experience.

Partners place offers a huge floor plan with no amenities other than parking. There are little to no pest issues unlike other apartments like Belmont and Heights because the management cares a lot about upkeeping the property.

Partners Place offers 4bedroom apartments. Usually, two of these rooms have their own bathroom and two share one. If you can get enough roommates to fill entire apartment, it is a great and affordable option walking distance to law school (only $700 for your room with private bathroom). The common spaces are large. No pool/gym—drives the rent price down.

The apartment is amazing and so is the complex. Its the area outside the complex which is the issue. I suggest not to walk around in dark at all.

The apartment is great! Mine came unfurnished but there are furnished ones too. There is no gym or pool facility. No complains about the complex though, the issue is about the area outside the complex. Not safe. So i would suggest not to walk around at night.

The apartment complex as a whole is pretty good. The units are all privately owned, so what you get in terms of interior design, rent total, and property management will vary based on who the owner of your unit is. For our unit specifically, it was a great deal because it was furnished, has a washer/dryer, and is fairly inexpensive across 3 of us while still having a lot of space (all private bedrooms/bathrooms). The complex does not have any gate or security patrol, but I haven't had any issues without it nor felt particularly unsafe. Parking is always available, and the complex is right next to a Duke shuttle stop.

For downsides, since the units are privately owned, there are not any amenities that you can have at some of the other nearby complexes like a gym or pool. Additionally, it may just be specific to us, but our property manager we interact with has been pretty bad; being unresponsive, not acknowledging maintenance requests, and not fully answering our questions even when repeatedly prompted.

All things considered, this complex has worked out great for us and the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. It's a great price without sacrificing comfort or space and it is super close to West Campus which keeps us from having to pay for parking passes.
