Personally I think this is the best bang for your buck, if you can afford it. I've lived with roommates and alone during law school - both have worked out great! I can get to school in 7 minutes, the grocery store/pharmacy/restaurants in 5 minutes, and ubers are cheap/quick to downtown! I love that Oberlin has a pool and gym.

I love living at Oberlin Court! The location is walkable to Village District and is a quick trip to downtown. This makes running errands, attending class, and hanging out with friends a breeze!

I've lived several places in Raleigh and this is by far the best I've found. The location is close enough to the law school that there isn't much traffic heading in, but also just outside the immediate downtown area so rent is reasonable for the space you get. My 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment is 950 sq feet and $1475 a month. I do have one of the larger 1 bedrooms they offer, but they have everything from studios to 3 bedrooms available. There is a nice amount of restaurants and shops close enough to walk to, and the area feels very safe for living alone. The walls are a little thin, but I've only ever had an issue with hearing people in the hallway. I do not have any pets, but many of my neighbors do, and there are multiple courtyards easily accessible. There is also reserved parking for residents and plenty of open parking for guests. Maintenance always responds promptly and the managing office is very accommodating. The management office also makes an effort to put on community events each month with provides a break from the law school and an opportunity to meet neighbors. There is a pool and a gym, though both are a little small and can be crowded during popular hours. Overall it is a pretty great place to live!
