Affordable, decent housing

The low rent is the best thing about chapel towers. There aren’t many medical students that live in the complex, but it’s affordable and convenient with the LaSalle Loop bus.

Walking Distance to Sanford

This apartment is a 12min walk to Sanford which is so convenient. It is a decent size apartment with all the necessary amenities.

Many Problems

I would not recommend staying at Chapel Tower. Although it is within walking distance of campus, I have had many, many problems here. The most glaring problem was finding out that my A/C unit was full of mold. It took close to a month to fully solve the problem because management stated that they would bring people in to solve the problem and did not do so until I followed up multiple times over both phone and email. The hallways are gross, the walls are very thin, and the police are called to the complex multiple times a week.

Would not recommend

Chapel Towers is very close to school, but it very poorly run and maintained. I've had to call maintenance several times for serious issues, like having mold in my tub, and they took A WEEK to deal with the issue. Management in general is not super responsive.

Good value for money, nothing special

I know I am paying way less for a two bedroom than I would on 9th street, which I appreciate it. Sometimes I have FOMO from not being on 9th street, but sometimes I appreciate the space. My apartment is nice enough but nothing fancy. I feel like I am generally getting what I pay for. The management is incredibly slow but will generally eventually respond. I appreciate living among the neighbors who are there- mostly families and younger couples. I love being close enough to Fuqua to walk or bike in 5 minutes. I like being near the duck pond for runs. 9th street is about a 15 minute bike ride away. The gym is simple but generally clean. I occasionally find roaches, but unfortunately that seems to be the norm in NC!

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.
