Trinity Commons is still quite and very close to campus. These are my top priorities. However, when new management company bought the building in November 2022, prices have increased and quality (in every imaginable way) has decreased. It has been disappointing.

The positives of this complex include the proximity to campus (walkable to Duke West Campus), good apartment interior features (granite countertops, ample storage, wood floors), and good safety. There are also plenty of luxury amenities including a pool, gym, sauna, steam room, courtyard, entertainment areas, etc.

I loved this apartment to live in while it was owned by Norwood Ravin, but since the building was purchased by the Connor Group, the rents have skyrocketed, the management is far less friendly, and fees have been added that previously were not required (including exorbitant fees for parking, amenities, and others). None of this has translated into any improvements on the building itself aside from a coat of blue paint. The garage door still does not function, the fountain functions intermittently at best, and the paint job on apartment doors was done very carelessly.

- very unclean - many roaches and pests throughout the building. at one point, there was feces in a stairwell that wasn’t clean for several wks, despite several complaints to management.
- poor management - constantly overcharged, incompetent staff
- incredible increases in rent for no reason
- no sunlight, pipes filled with mold and roaches

Close to campus and well managed

I love living at Trinity! I've lived here for 2 years and honestly have no complaints. Maintenance is responsive, they host fun events in the lobby and courtyards, it's a 10 minute walk to the medical school, and it's safe. The units are beautiful, spacious, and well-designed. It's a nice apartment complex while still having a cozy feel.

Pros: 10 minute walk to Duke Medical Campus. Covered Parking. Community of medical students. 5 minute drive to downtown.

Cons: Price. Large Complex. Occasional cockroach problems, but that is similar to the majority of apartment complexes in Durham.

Trinity Commons is a quick walk to campus, staff are friendly and responsive, we have been happy with maintenance work. Amenities are nice (pool, gym). It is more expensive than other apartments in the area. Lots of takeout places nearby. On a very busy road, not a very pretty area but can easily go for walks or runs on campus. The area feels very safe during the day though I avoid going out alone at night.

Great place to live! Love the staff and how easy it is to walk to the medical school and the hospital. Pretty nice gym . Also they are pet friendly. Only cons are that Trinity is more expensive than apartments farther away and that you have to pay $30 a month for a trash valet service.

I love living at trinity commons because of its proximity to campus and ammenities. I love having a gym and pool in the building as well as parking. The staff are responsive and helpful. The one thing that I don't love is that the floors 1-3 have poor cellphone service and calls/messages can only be sent with wifi.

Great location (walking distance to medical school and hospital), lots of amenities (gym, common areas, working spaces, pool), and great leasing agents/ property management staff.
