Van Alen

The Van Alen is great and it is really close to the downtown area, which is great for walking to bars and restaurants. The apartment is really nice and the amenities.

I love the Van Alen.

Safe, thick walls with no sound pollution, balconies, great amenities, outdoor spaces, very clean, easy commute to school with a car, near some good restaurants and coffee shops, easy to go downtown, can watch a baseball game from the rooftop.

Worth every penny

Van Alen is a relatively new building downtown. We have loved having more space than you would get on 9th Street, and the building amenities are top-notch. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place for a summer bbq with friends, and the location is great with the baseball stadium and DPAC within a 5 min walk. We have had no issues with management, and they are great about repairs if and when they come up.

Amazing place to live!

Van Alen is a great place to live. The buildings and grounds are very well-kept. Having a concierge service is super helpful, and maintenance is very responsive. It's a nice walk to the more central part of downtown without dealing with as much traffic. The walls are not thin, so I never have a problem when I have company. There are food trucks here a couple of times a week, and they also offer free workout classes and other cool activities throughout the month.

Two cons; one is that the sky lounge area reservation cost is much too high and the other is the lack of guest parking.

Great Downtown Experience

I've really enjoyed living downtown at Van Alen. Unique apartment design compared to others in the area, feels new, great management, relatively easy to have a dog (as far as downtown/apartment living goes).

Best Apartments in Durham

Love it here. Worth every penny. Extremely safe and has every amenity I could ask for. Management is very friendly. Don't see myself moving out for as long as I stay in Durham.
