Student living at Lenox

While Lenox is far from campus and housing that most international students use, it’s a fantastic option for those that seek comfort, security and good amenities. The service from the main offices is generally good and fast, especially if you find issues with your apartment, which they usually don’t appear. The only setback is the distance. I’d recommend getting a car or taking the bus.

Located in South Durham, Lenox at Patterson Place offers comfort living within a few miles of campus and Downtown Durham.

There are recommended well-known restaurants nearby and retail grocery stores like Walmart. Open living areas, and spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Big disadvantage is transportation. I’d recommend getting a car to commute

Really like it here, valet trash, very clean, routine pest control.

Lenox at Patterson Place Review

Overall, I enjoy living at Lenox at Patterson Place. I'm a first-year graduate student at Duke, and I plan to live here next year. The complex is a 10-minute drive from campus, but that drive is longer with bad traffic. Some of the other students in my program chose to live as close to campus as possible. I expanded my search because I couldn't find any apartment complexes right around Duke that were 1.) affordable and 2.) of decent quality. Lenox meets both criteria for me. There is some noise. For example, you can hear people coming up the stairs, closing their doors, etc., but the noise is nothing compared to the apartment I used to live in. Temperature control is great. No pest problems. I think this is a decent place if you don't mind a short drive to Duke and are looking for something nice as well as not too expensive.

Lenox is a great place to stay. There is not so many Fuqua or Duke students living here, mostly because it's 6 miles away from Fuqua Campus. Most of the residents in Lenox is family. It's quiet, has a lot of parking lot. Gym(not fancy) provided; self-serve car washing and vacuum provided. There is a pool, but most of the time, there are a lot of kids. Fewer parties. The view is great; sometimes you see deer passing the community. It's near by walmart(1 mile), whole foods(3 miles), trader joe(3 miles), best buy(1 mile)

I have lived in this complex for my 2 years at Fuqua. It is a 10minute drive to campus. The grocery store and Walmart are both within a 2 minute drive of the apartment. The units are small, but I do not mind. Many of the apartments around school are double to price I am paying. The apartment complex is not luxurious in any way like some of the ones by Fuqua are, but you have to make the decision for yourself if that is something you care about. I would recommend my complex to anyone who is looking for an affordable 1 bedroom apartment that doesn't need the upgrades (stainless steel kitchen appliances, hardwood floors, granite countertops, etc).

I really like my apartment. It's about 10 minutes from school. It doesn't feel like I am far away, and I am only a short car ride away from all of the school related activities. The only thing is I wish the space was a tad bigger (its 700sq ft so its definitely a decent size). It is not a popular student building at all, but that is why I like it because it is a super quiet complex.
