Pros:
1. New building and quiet neighborhood (though trains are passing by at mid-night around 2:00 am, it doesn't bother me)
2. 3-minute walk to Durham station, there are buses to school and the airport
3. 15 minutes walk to downtown

Cons:
1. Not so many MBA students live here
2. Not a big neighborhood, facilities such as the gym room and swimming pool are small

Great Place to live. Gym leaves something to be desired.

It is a good apartment overall. Crime is low. I have heard of a garage break-in, but never witnessed one or damage. The apartments are nice. The coffee machine is great. Management is responsive. The gym is terrible, but equivalent to any apartment gym. The pool and outside areas are very nice. Overall, it is a great value for the price and I plan on staying there for as long as I am in Durham.

Great apartment downtown! one con is the pool is in the center of the complex and can occasionally get noisy. another is that my packages keep getting stolen, despite having a mail room lol. otherwise managment is great, maintenance is awesome, the complex is clean and nice, and the price is great for a downtown apartment.

One of the best apartment complexes I've moved into, if not just for the spacious floor plans, parking, and proximity to downtown Durham and ATC, but for the amazing management who are extremely personable and set up monthly events for residents!

I love living at the Whetstone apartments. I live in a Corner unit and we get plenty of sunlight. Management is responsive and has lots of events for residents. Great amenities and location to downtown Durham. Only cons are that sometimes there is a weird smell in the halls, and it can be a bit noisy. Recycling is also a challenge.

The apartment is well maintained, has covered parking, and is located right downtown. Being downtown, its nosier than other places. I wish the windows were not so thin because you hear buses and trains often. The space is on the smaller side but has a nice layout and spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. Management is nice and there are a lot of young people who live in the building.

no complaints at all, the place is nice, safe, clean, excellent administration but if you don't have a car, the university can be far from you.

I’ve loved living at the Whetstone. The management is nice and responsive, rent is very reasonable for a managed property in the area and it’s in a great location. Easy walk to the center of Durham (and Shooters) and a great option for Duke grad students with a car. The apartment complex has a small gym/pool and a mini convenience store in the building.

The location, situated just next to the American Tobacco Campus and event centers such as DPAC (and tons of restaurants/coffee shops in walking distance) is absolutely perfect, and the price is far lower than other surrounding complexes. The leasing team are wonderful and frequently host resident events with free food and drinks as well as contests and giveaways. Parking is free and gated, and there is free guest parking as well (a commodity). The bedrooms and living areas are a bit smaller than I would like, though.
