The building is very nice. The amenities are great. The location is great-- I walk to and from the law school every day. The one bedroom is a glorified studio (no door in between the living room and the bedroom its just a half wall). Additionally, I have spotted a couple cockroaches around the building and I can not emphasize enough how inept the management is here. When you move here, assume they will not help you with literally anything. That being said, I do really like my apartment and how close it is the the law school so I do not see myself moving at all my 3 years here. The view in my apartment is spectacular also. The gym is great for a gym apartment to be honest and its not super crowded. Theres some restaurants within walking distance and a dunkin if you are feeling lazy one night but I warn you they are not very good. My neighbors are very nice and not noisy. The closet space is fantastic; The best I've ever had. The AC and heating also works great.

Solid - some utilities problems but overall good.

Close to Fuqua, around 15 mins walking.
Common area clean and big.
Study space is larger than the other few buildings at Erwin Rd.
Not so many cockroach as I expected (I live at the ground floor).
A little bit older than the other Erwin apartments, but acceptable, since the rent is also a bit lower than those.
Apartment space is significantly bigger than other apartments.

The apartments are nice. Quiet. Convenient location.

If you're trying to live alone, price may be an issue. For some reason, the studio and 1-bedroom apartments at this complex go for considerably more than at other nearby complexes. Should be fine if you get a roommate, though.

When I was looking for options to live near Duke, everything pointed to 9th Street. However, the prices didn't align with the apartment qualities, and you definitely need a car (or carpooling friends) to move around. I decided to take a chance on this apartment building, and I don't regret it. The entrance builiding is full of trees and beautiful, the apartments have high ceilings and are very well illuminated. It's close enough to campus to walk, and there's a 10-minute free bus ride to 9th Street. The downside: It's true that not many MBA students live here, but everything is so close that it makes it easier to get around. Alsod the apartments are not the most modern.

Facilities are great. Room super spacious. But the roaches & ants issue has been too annoying.

Best place walking distance to campus.

Lofts is one of the most expensive apartments near Fuqua. But the living experience is not that good. Residents here often comes across cockroachs in their bedroom/bathroom/living room/aisle, almost anywhere. The buildings are quite old. There is only one elevator and one trash chute for every floor. Some rooms far away from elevator and trash chute takes 3-5 minites walk to get there. Some 2b2b here has a room with no door, which is hard for residents to keep privacy with the other roommates. The outdoor swimming pool only cleaned for one time in the morning. In the afternoon occasionally there will be some leaves or bugs floating on the pool. The furniture here is often broken, especially the air conditioning in summer, which often needs maintenance, but the maintenance response is slow, sometimes it takes half a month to repair.

Pros:
- Within walking distance of campus so I don't have to buy a parking permit
- Quiet
- Rent increases from year to year have been less than the inflation rate (so actually a relative decrease in rent)
- Maintenance issues have been fixed promptly
- Lots of other med students live in Lofts/Flats/Trinity, so there are lots of friends nearby and people to hang out with

Cons:
- Baseline rent is somewhat pricey but still less expensive than Trinity or Flats
- Maybe 2-3x per year I will see a cockroach in my apartment

Solid apartment, close to campus
