West Village reviews and highlights
- huge gym compared to most apartment gyms
- easy access to parking garages
- perfectly located in downtown Durham
- high ceilings, modern kitchens with granite countertops, wood floors, and exposed brick walls and balconies
Good value but walls do not reach the ceiling
Review title says it all. I live in a 3br in West Village and my walls do not reach the ceiling. The walls are 8 feet and the ceiling is 14 feet. This means theres is very little privacy between rooms. We don’t really even notice anymore, but I would not recommend for introverts or people who frequently have guests over.

If you love factory apartments, West Village is great
It has a lot of character which makes the downsides pretty much worth it.

Great Place to Live, Easy Access to Downtown and Duke
Overall, this place has been great for me. I have a great view from my balcony of downtown and the pool. I have had relatively few issues with the apartment, and maintenance is pretty timely whenever things need to be fixed. The front office is wonderful and normally handles requests on the same day. My neighbors are nice and friendly. This place is also pet and kid-friendly. There are different generations and family configurations that live here. It is safe and I have lived her for my entire graduate experience.

Management Issues
The building is undergoing renovations and as a result we have had many maintenance issues and maintenance has been slow to respond to them.

West Village Warehouse Apartments
I just moved into West Village, but I'm enjoying living here so far. I'm living in one of the units in an old warehouse building, so the building is very unique and has its own style. West Village is located downtown and less than 10 minutes drive to Duke's campus and the hospital. The location is perfect, because you can easily walk to restaurants and other businesses nearby.

Attractive apartments, but that's about it.
I you like high ceilings, exposed brick, and raising hell with management to get them to come fix things in your apartment, West Village is for you!
The apartments are beautiful although can have limited windows and the location can't be beat, but it's an expensive place to live and general upkeep is pretty shoddy.
I think the management/maintenance staff are pretty small in number for the size of the complex so be prepared to wait for things to get done and make several trips to the leasing office to get them to do something.
We did renew our lease, though, but mostly because I really, really hate moving.

West Village is good, but expensive.
I only really have two gripes about the apartment complex. First, the property management is not great. They fail to respond to emails and leave expectations unclear for certain obligations the tenants have (e.g., they said they would start fining for units that leave trash cans in the hallway after the garbage collection window, but they didn't respond to an email asking what that specific window is). Second, the price is pretty high. The apartments are great and spacious, and the commute to the law school takes 7 minutes.
