Overall satisfied

I love my apartment itself -- spacious, lots of light, brand-new with brand-new appliances. Amenities are also nice -- the gym and pool are on the smaller side (comparable buildings like Trinity, Lofts, Berkshire have larger/nicer gyms and pools) but get the job done.

The management could definitely be better. Communication can be slow and inconsiderate. They try their best, but it's obvious that it's a new complex and they're still learning the ropes.

Overall have had a good experience and will probably stay for another year.

Great Experience at the Flats

I've enjoyed living at the flats. I love that it's within walking distance of the hospital (makes my commute a breeze). There is plenty of parking for residents right outside the buildings. Having doors inside a locked building makes me feel very secure.

Solid choice

Pros: Convenient location, new/modern design & appliances, trees/greenery is beautiful and unique compared to similar apartment buildings

Downsides: inconsistent communication with management, communal areas are not serviced frequently enough

Live at the flats!

I absolutely love living at the flats. The building is brand new, has ample amenities, and is less than a 15 minute walk from school. Our apartment is large - 1100 square feet for a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom which makes it easy to live with any roommate. While there are certainly cheaper places to live in Durham, the flats is certainly good bang for your buck. Similar apartment complexes in other cities are at least double the price. Other apartments nearby in Durham may be a bit closer to school but are older buildings and the rent is as expensive if not more expensive. If the flats is in your price range, I think it truly is the best place to live!!

Nice place to live close to Fuqua

This is a new complex that has a lot of potential for Fuquans because of its proximity to the school.

Highlights include a gym, free coffee, and new buildings. Pretty extensive greenery and well-kept common areas. Nice bike room for those that need that amenity. There's a good space for dogs nearby as well.

Management could improve on its communication methods: they seem to introduce new rules and regulations, or announce events, at a whim. Seems like a newsletter would serve them better. Be prepared to weather the fact that they are ironing out kinks, being that this is a new apartment complex.

Great place, great management

The apartment itself is really nice with high ceilings, a good view, and good utilities despite some minor issues.

I had heard some horror stories about corporate apartment managers, but these guys have been great. Maintenance has been very responsive and helpful as well. Big shout out to Mallory in the front office and Al on the maintenance team.

Getting around Erwin - LaSalle


Erwin - LaSalle Reviews

430 reviews
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.
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).
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
