Review

Lofts is great if you want to be close to the hospital. It is a little cheaper than the other apartments near the hospital for more space. The apartments are slightly less nice than other apartments (like trinity) but you get more out of your money. The gym is very nice and there is always parking. There is no noise from next door neighbors but you can hear the footsteps of upstairs neighbors.

Great but too expensive

I’ve lived here for 3 months and haven’t had any issues. The area is very safe and there is a food court right across the street. I’m an MS1 so I love that the med school is only about a 15-20 minute walk depending on how fast you walk. The main lobby has a lounge where you can hang out with friends, a study area with a coffee/tea bar, and a decent gym.

The only reason I wouldn’t give the lofts a 9 or 10 rating is because of the pricing. I’m paying over $1800 a month for a 1 bedroom, and no utilities are included (that’s an extra $160-$180 a month).

If you don’t mind the price, it is a great place to live!

Good but maybe look elsewhere

I'm generally happy with the Lofts. The apartment is spacious and gets a lot of sun; the building is a fairly short walk from campus, which is great since I don't own a car; and there are plenty of good dining options nearby. But I've learned that you can enjoy the same amenities (and then some) in other parts of the city for a fraction of the rent. Unless distance from campus is a key concern of yours, I recommend saving your money.

Safe

Living here is safe, close to law school. However, try renting an apartment on the upper level as bugs come in very easily.

Great place to live

I really like living here! I think it's great value for money. Best apartment I've ever lived in - I have great neighbors, parking is free and convenient, and my apartment is very spacious.

Lofts at Lakeview

Good price for the size of the apartment ($2130/month; 1,528 ft, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms). Huge windows with plenty of natural light. Apartment complex is generally quiet, and maintenance team has been very responsive. Amenities are pretty good - gym is on the smaller side but well-equipped, and the complex has two pools. Kitchen appliances are fairly new and work well. Closets are enormous.

Safety is a slight concern - there has been one car stolen from within the garage in the last four months, and there are no locks on the doors that lead from the garage to the interior hallway. Lobby is open to the public during business hours and interior hallway is accessible from the lobby. We did see a few cockroaches in the late summer, but exterminator responded quickly to our maintenance request and have not had issues since.

Pretty good

Have been here going on two years. Rent has been very reasonable thus far, good value for the amenities and age of the property relative to newer, more expensive locations on Erwin Road. There can be bug issues on the lower floors.

Getting around Erwin - LaSalle


Erwin - LaSalle Reviews

430 reviews
It's been perfectly fine. People are nice but it's not much of a community, just a place where people live. Behind the Belmont which had a spate of robberies a few months back, but the Flats is further away from the main road and is better lit. So far no security incidents or concerns at the Flats. Affordability depends on which apartment complex you choose in the Erwin-LaSalle area. Wide range in rents, ranging from very expensive to very affordable depending on which one you pick.
The broader neighborhood's chief attribute is convenience to Duke. A lot of students live in the apartment complexes around here. It can be inconvenient sometimes getting to a supermarket from the neighborhood, though (eventually they're going to re-open a Harris Teeter on Hillsborough, which should mitigate this issue somewhat).
The neighborhood was perfectly fine when I started living there, but recently there have been some armed robberies in apartment buildings that are about a 10 minute walk away. However, I would like to say that I have not felt unsafe walking home at night and the security at Trinity is quite high. For example, you have to use a special key to get into the lobby (where a security guard sits after dark) and then you have to use the key to get in from the lobby to where the rooms are, and then again to get into your room. There are about 10 good restaurants within walking distance ranging from greek food to Mexican food to sushi so it's great for a quick dinner when you don't want to cook. There is also a hair salon and a manicure place, as well as a Walgreens pharmacy. We are very close to Duke Hospital and the bus systems are very accessible.
The apartments are close to campus and easily accessible through bus, bike, or walking if desired. There is a nearby Kroger that is a less than 5 min drive away just up LaSalle St. Overall, there are some older apartments further up the road that have had issues with crime in the past, but The Heights and other apartments around the area seemed to be insulated from those issues.
The food in the area is really accessible and I feel quite safe in the surrounding area, excluding the gas stations and bus stop. I've heard some odd things at night but never seen anything fishy and feel safe coming home at night. +Tons of dogs!
Lofts is right next to a few restaurants - TGIFridays, Chipotle, Enzo's, Noodles, Smash Burger, Sushi Love, etc. The Kroger grocery store is just a few minutes away, off of Lasalle. This is a quiet neighborhood.
Quiet neighbourhood. Conveniently located to West Campus and walking distance to Fuqua. Easy and healthy fast food options nearby. Close to food stores e.g. Kroger & Harris Teeter. Close to WaDuke trail.
Not the safest neighborhood and has little transit. There have been issues at other apartment complexes with safety, but Heights has been very safe. It is absolutely fine to walk around in the day here, but not at night. There are not very many restaurants or bars nearby, although downtown Durham is 10 minutes away.
