Bell Partners

I waited a couple months to write my review of this place. I was initially drawn in by the beautiful amenities and the seemingly really supportive management. Upon move-in I was welcomed to dead roaches throughout the halls and stained carpets. In addition, within the first week I was able to hear all my upstairs neighbors footsteps to the point where I wanted to transferring units. I tried to speak to them and in response to trying to reason they would purposely stomp through out their unit - you can here every single foot step they take. When you are walking in the hallways you can feel the shaking from the people walking/living above. Resident have told me they have to listen to noise machines to be able to able to sleep at times. When you are in your bedroom you'll be able to hear your next door neighbor talk on the phone and enjoy the music that they are listening to. I was told by management I would have to pay a $1,000 transfer fee. When I tried to appeal to regional management I did not hear back for a month. When I went in person to follow-up they had not even reached out to regional about the issue. The property managers are really supportive and nice... until you have a problem. There are a few nice staff which I appreciate however nice doesn't help when you have a problem.

In addition, my electricity constantly short-circuits and my power goes out in portions of my apartment. If I didn't know how to reset my own breakers, I'd constantly be in the dark.

If you are a young professional that works, needs a quiet environment or even are moving with a family and desire a tranquil environment, I would avoid this place.

On the positive side maintenance is responsive where they can be for issues that they are able to resolve.

Overall, I really wish I would've taken heed to the comments that I read on here and I could've avoided this situation. I will definitely be leaving this complex when my lease is up.

I pay extra for water, sewer, two types of trash removal, electric, pest control, "recreation - pools and facilities perpetually out of order" Also pay extra for parking and for the privilege of being billed for all the above. Unfortunately, I had the same experience as many - I arrived to find an apartment and lease terms much different than I agreed to. If I hadn't been dealing with illness and death in my family, I might have declined the keys. I double confirmed that the unit had a bathtub.... no bathtub. And the apartment is old, I understand, but it is shabby and hasn't had any improvements in many years. Yet my rent increase is about three times the average rent increase for our area. And I pay over four times what a nearby single family residence pays for curbside trash pickup - with recycling. I am one person with a 400 square foot apartment paying over $40 for trash removal? Somehow, my electric bill is accruing some common area power, I can see it on my initial bill. I am paying an inflated rate for water. And the pool in my section has yet to open this year as far as I can tell. I have never received anything for the pest control fee or the fee I have to pay some other platform to tell me how much to pay with utilities. Sewer, water - over $30 per month? How is that possible? My move-in was forced to an earlier date, I really should have seen the red flags.

It has a pool, gym, meeting rooms, etc., and is quiet for being near an airport. It has good access to transportation anyway, including a Metrorail station, bus stops in many directions, and a free shuttle bus to/from Los Angeles International Airport. It takes only 30 seconds to get there from your apartment. I was a little perturbed that the address was in Inglewood, but in general, it was fine.

My apartment is an appropriate distance from KFBS. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to get to school. There are stores within very close driving distance, and Downtown Durham is approximately 15 minutes away as well.

The condition of the apartments is above average. I have not had any issues with my utilities, and the management is very quick to respond.

I would recommend this apartment for someone that wants the happy median in between Chapel Hill and Durham.

Big fan of Environs Lofts

Environs at East 54 is quiet, has great amenities, and is super convenient within walking distance to Walgreens, First Watch, Fresh Market, and several fancy hair and nail salons. The Finley Golf Course is right behind so great views. The apartments are also built to be condos so very spacious with good soundproofing.
This place is only a 7-13 minute drive to business school, with no traffic most of the time.
There is a bus stop right outside of my building but I would still recommend driving because the bus here is not always on time.

Trails at Short Pump has been a great place to live so far. Quiet neighborhood, nice walking trail around, good location, and maintenance is relatively quick to respond.

This apartment is a great off-campus spot that is still within a 10-15 minute drive from campus. Management is very responsive and helpful.

High quality apartments, great amenities, etc. The walkable restaurants and retail options are quite limited (particularly compared to apartments like the Berkshire). More of a quiet community than the Berkshire or the Morgan (for better or worse.) I was the only MBA in my class to live here and I believe 2 or 3 MBAs in the class of 25 live here. Very close to campus- no easily walkable routes, however.

My family and I enjoy the nearby walking trails and proximity to campus and groceries/shopping. My bike ride to school is just over 2 miles away (takes between 10-15 min). The best route is an off-road trail that runs alongside the UNC golf course and botanical gardens.

The apartment itself is comfortable and nice. The closet space is great. I’ve been in previous apartments where you can hear just about everything your neighbors do. That hasn’t been an issue here. You can pay extra for covered parking, or just accept the free outdoor parking. It’s pricier than I’d like to be paying but my family and I are happy here.

Its a bit far from campus but its easy to get thanks to the georgetown shuttle

The management is quick to respond to service requests. I love the amount of natural light my apartment gets. There are many amenities that I’m hoping to get to use more in the coming months. I do wish the pool was kept open longer, as they close it in October.

Apartment is great it has study rooms but internet is awful in the building common areas. It is expensive and the area per se is not the safest

This place is SWANKY!! Very nice all around and close to campus. I rent one of the nicer places in here but there are more affordable units and they rent up fast.

I've had a good experience living at Bell Chapel Hill so far. There have only been minor issues, but management is very responsive and happy to help.
