I really enjoy living at Thompson Ridge! There is a pool, dog park and gym included in the HOA fees that are easily accessible and get the job done. There are a lot of nice trails around the neighborhood and it is generally very safe. Mostly all young professionals, resident physicians and graduate/professional students. Lots of dogs!!! Really close to campus with a bus stop that goes to DUH as well as ninth street.

Great townhouse in an awesome neighborhood. My only complaint is that maintenance is difficult to access, but there haven’t been many maintenance issues so it’s been alright.

Thompson ridge is a bit far from duke but it is great if you want a quiet area and safe area. I rented my unit from duke list and the place is owned by an individual and not a management company.

The townhouses in Thompson Ridge are great places to rent! The neighborhood is very nice and is less than 10 minutes from Duke's medical school campus. Each townhouse is unique, but mine is beautiful and spacious.

Great location, units are nice, lots of medical students in neighborhood. Easy access to Duke Forest.

Super affordable living with plenty of space. Short commute to Duke Hospital, but feels incredibly detached. Excellent area for getting out into nature.

Great location being close to campus and perfect set up for families.

It's a great set of townhomes. There are definitely certain things that I wish were true--basically just space and size. But it's great for our time in school.

Spacious, affordable, quiet place, ideal for students who bring their families.

Students pay more to be close to 9th street, mostly because of FOMO. But there are so many activities, you won't miss out on as much as you might think. Thompson Ridge is a no-brainer for families, couples, or pet owners, given that it isn't more expensive than alternatives but it's bigger. But even single folks will enjoy it--roommates can help. Pool and Fitness center. People outside all the time. Duke Forest. Quite new and in good condition. At the very least, consider moving up here for 2nd year or even at the semester break. And about the same drive to campus (biking is just as quick as driving when you factor in parking).
