Beautiful apartment, poor location

The apartment itself is beautiful, spacious, and cheap. The pool is small but nice, and the leasing office staff are always friendly and super helpful. The gym is only good for arm workouts, and the common area doesn’t feel very cozy.

Location-wise, it depends on your situation. If you have a car, it’s fine. Without a car it’s not recommendable to live here. The only grocery store somewhat nearby is Target and Li-Ming (25 min walk). Walking to campus is far (little less than an hour), hilly (not recommendable during the Summer), and not safe after dark (you walk through a forest). The Duke bus service is limited in the Summer with inconvenient times, but in the Fall the schedule improves, though the time schedule is more an indication.

Overall, a great value if you’re looking for space, peace and quiet, and affordability, but only if you have a car.

Best place in Budget

The apartment is very spacious compared to most other places around Duke. You get good parking space, the swimming pool and the gym is also decent. The only con would be that it’s a bit far away from campus but Bus is regular. Target and spice Bazaar(Indian Grocery) are at walking distance of around 20 minutes.

Convenient

Lancaster is a great option. Is a bit cheaper. However, the location is not ideal if you don’t have a car. We have busses that take us to Duke. However, no grocery shops or restaurants are in walking distance from Lancaster.
