Good for renters on a budget

Apartment is spacious for two people. Poor insulation so downstairs gets cold in the winter but overall fine. Neighborhood is mostly families so feels very safe. Some issue with cockroaches but management was quick to address the problem. 15 minute walk from campus. In general the apartment is good for the monthly rent value and management is awesome.

Okay Experience

Nothing over the top or fancy. It's a calm and relaxed place. The only limitation is there are no washers and dryers inside the apartment because we have a common place for that.

831 Louise Circle

This house is definitely not the most fancy in Durham, but it is one of the best places for students.
The rent is cheap, the house is spacious and all the appliances work perfectly. As well, it is a very calm neighbourhood, so it is great for studying and sleeping without anyone bothering.

Good residence but lack of some ammenities

The stay at the apartment has been good. It is very convenient to reach campus either through the LaSalle Loop bus or even by walk. The place is quite good if you have to live in a community with lot of families. It is great to take your pets out for a walk. The amenities like washing machine are in a common space and the house lacks a microwave. The closet space is alright if you don't have a lot of luggage.

Poplar west

Low rent, lovely townhouse, walking distance to west campus, near the bus station. But the safety may not as good as other luxury departments. An we don't have washing machine and dryer in our home. We need to use the public ones.

Poplar West

The apartment is in a great location and walking distance to campus. The complex is very quiet and has a lot of families and pets. Maintenance is responsive and usually comes within 24 hours to fix an issue.

Bang for the buck

You get what you pay for in a $300 per person apartment.

Decent property for the price

Good property considering that I'm only paying $395 (per person) for a 2 bed, 1 bath apartment. Comfortable enough with no frills. There were some plumbing issues which were never really fixed. Considering that I was mostly at school and was on a tight budget, this was a good deal.

Erwin - LaSalle Reviews

Reviewed by Duke Sanford Student living at The Flats at The Exchange on Erwin
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.
Reviewed by Duke Med Student living at Chapel Tower Apartments
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).
Reviewed by Duke Med Student living at Trinity Commons at Erwin
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua School of Business Student living at The Heights at LaSalle
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.
Reviewed by Duke Pratt Student living at The Flats at The Exchange on Erwin
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!
Reviewed by Fuqua School of Business, MBA Student living at Lofts at Lakeview
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.
Reviewed by Student living at The Belmont Apartments
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.
Reviewed by Duke Sanford Student living at The Heights at LaSalle
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.
