Flats has nice apartments, with a few caveats. The interior of the apartments are admittedly VERY nice, and the indoor/key FOB access to all buildings means things are pretty secure + there are no bugs. However, the amenities are comparatively worse than the ones at other apartments in the area. The gym is tiny, esp when you look at Lofts or Trinity. We've also had a persistent problem with noisy neighbors (and Flats floors do not help). Management has been pretty unhelpful with resolving that situation. You wouldn't be wrong to choose Flats, but I'd personally recommend Trinity or Lofts over this apartment complex. Flats is more expensive than both of those complexes and is definitely a worse value than Trinity is.

Apartment and facilities are in great shape - building is just 2-3 years old now I think. Management can be kind of slow to respond to things, but with enough follow up emails they'll get around to whatever you need. Amenities are good (pool and gym), not quite as lavish as some of the other more luxury buildings, but still nice. Also, great location for Duke students with some good restaurants nearby.

Feels like home, and very safe and secure. Large space available.

The Flats is great - super friendly, approachable, and responsible staff. Every work order we've put in has been resolved within a day. Easily accessible to Fuqua - not very many business school students (more med school and others), but convenient and nice.

Gym solid; pool is irrelevant - it exists, but the sun is blocked off and the water is always way too cold.

Extremely organized, well-maintained, maintenance is responsive, gym, pool, green with trees, private yet accessible to chipotle and other restaurants, close to Duke. Overall excellent location. Better to have a car while living here. Apartment has nice study rooms. Small sized apartment, sells fast.

Awesome place for med students to live

My experience has been great! The apartment is spacious - especially the closet, which I LOVE, and the kitchen storage. The balcony is really nice, I love looking over the trees and pathway that makes me feel more like I'm in nature than I might feel in a different unit or neighboring complex that looks over a parking lot or street. The sunlight is pretty good for being in an apartment. I appreciate being able to park on the same level as my apartment. The pool is nice and though I haven't used the gym here or the study rooms etc. yet they are nice as well. And the management and especially the maintenance is WONDERFUL! They're really responsive and kind. I love living here. With all that said, there is one main drawback - the walls are pretty thin, to the point that I can hear my neighbors' conversations to a point, and the noise of my upstairs neighbors walking around can be pretty loud. But with the niceness of the actual apartment and the proximity to Duke and to highways taking you to downtown Durham or nearby amenities in less than 10 minutes, I'm happy I chose here over the other options.

Overall good, management doesn't really do anything with consistently noisy neighbors despite multiple complaints. Besides that, they're pretty responsive.

Very professional and attentive. The apartment itself is great!

Great and close to hospital
