It is a good place to rent but ridiculously expensive (although I believe thats most of Durham). Our home is big and spacious with enough storage space and an incredible kitchen. Life at the Flats is quite, but whats great is that it’s close the Heights and Belmont (about 5 min walk) where are the parties are at. So you can party then and when your done go back home to you quite apartment:). The only big complaint was the trash shute in the beginning, it smelled horrid! But it seems to be better now.

A comfortable place to live

It’s safe, the property is very well kept, and the apartments are huge and clean. It’s also a short 15 minute walk to Fuqua! The only con is that there’s no grocery store within walking distance.

get get what you pay for, which is a safe location that is well-lit, the apartment itself is nice and in great condition, 20-minute walk/10-minute bike ride to Sanford

I like the apartment and have very few issues. The washer/dryer are not great but I am generally satisfied

Apartments and property are beautiful with great amenities. Great location close to the law school and close to some restaurants. Maintenance is great also!

We thoroughly enjoy this apartment, but without the deal we got, we likely wouldn't have been able to afford it.

Pros:
- Walkable to Fuqua, and on a bus line. Makes getting to and from school super easy & can save on the parking pass
- Large granite countertops... we love to cook!
- Pet-friendly in a walkable neighborhood. We take the dog around Duke Pond at least once a day.
- Responsive management that corrects issues quickly.
- Amenities are solid with nice study rooms, gym, pool, and green space (though we don't use often)
- Pretty quiet area, and a good way to get some space from the Fuqua bubble

Cons
- A bit pricy, look for sign-up deals and cheaper rooms... though be careful with those on the first floor where people walk by often if privacy is important!
- If the social scene is very important to you, you may find yourself paying for a lot of ubers to 9th st or driving over, and passing on drinks
- No grocery/corner store within walking distance

For entering medical students, this is definitely the best place to live location-wise. It is a 15 minute walk to the medical school and hospital. There are several complexes in the area but this is the newest/nicest and the price points are all about the same. I've lived here for all four years and love it!!

It was nice and very convenient. Pretty responsive and no major problems. Definitely a good place to live!

Safe neighborhood and close to school
