Not worth the price

The people are so so kind there, but the rent is too high for us to still have a cockroach infestation. And the electrical wiring is always breaking, and the hallway always smells like a litter box, and my car got broken into in the parking garage, and having guests over is hugely inconvenient for many reasons. You could have just as nice a space in a house for $300 less/month, and at least you could have guests over without having to park their car for them and escort them through a maze to find your door.

Great apartment but a little pricey

I have enjoyed living at Trinity Commons the past 1.5 years. It's a roomy apartment, with amenities like pool, hot tub, saunas, gym, club room, grills/outdoor area, and included parking. Unfortunately I don't feel like I have time to use all the amenities so the price feels a little high. But the administration is pretty responsive to problems and they do a lot of fun community events like Workout Wednesdays or Thanksgiving/X-mas themed bingo with prizes. Overall not a bad place!

Overpriced but great location!

Trinity is in a great location as it is the closest apartment building to TSCHE (~12 min walk). Parking is also free in a secure, covered garage on the interior of the building. The building is also very secure, which was important to me. There's a nice gym, pool, and two outdoor entertaining areas. However, it is very overpriced for what they are offering in my opinion. The building is about 10 years old and I don't think they've replaced appliances or updated anything in that time. I think it is a great place to live in terms of convenience and offerings, it is just more expensive than I think it is worth!

Trinity Commons

The amenities and design of the apartment are great. I really like how I feel safe inside the apartment, especially because there have been a lot of crimes in the surrounding area, so its nice to have a security guard at night. However, there is a lit of noise around where I live and my apartment has experienced a lot of appliance breakdowns, etc but all that have been fixed within the day, they are just inconveniences.

Location trumps everything else

Location is best for duke med students, can’t get any closer to school/the hospital. The apts are modern and pretty nice. It’s expensive. The staff are generally helpful. The gym and pool are decent. The required valet trash service is annoying. The rent is expensive but fairly competitive for the area.

Best Option in Durham

Pros:
- Very good security
- Close to all Duke schools
- Clean
- No noisy parties
- High-end quality
- Many extra spaces including a huge gym
- Near to gas station with stores
- Duke free bus passes in front

Cons:
- The building structure is weak, if you have a neighbor that does not walk smoothly, the whole apartment will shake and you will hear strong stepping noise. (not recommended for people with misophonia)

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.
