|Recommended: YesBeautiful apartments but falling apart — I love my apartment because it has more character than any other apartment I've seen in Durham. I love the big windows, high ceilings, wood floors and gorgeous kitchens. But there are significant problems that never seem to be fixed and it could really use a renovation- for instance, the carpets are really stained and old, there's a leak that stained the ceiling that never got fixed, there are moldy fixtures in the bathroom I was flat out told would never be fixed, and there are paint splatters in various places. Work orders usually take a long time if ever to complete and there are always cockroaches. The air conditioning and heating systems are also kind of wonky. The staff is very friendly and for the price it's great to have a lovely apartment, pool, and gym.

|Recommended: YesWorth the low cost and comfortable — This apartment is worth the money you pay for it. There are little issues here and there and the kitchen space isn't big but totally worth the price I am paying for it each month. It is private, although I can hear neighbors coming into the building and above. Comfortable and a great place to call home. Friendly staff who get to know your name and no trouble finding parking.

|Recommended: YesUA-Durham — Not bad when you consider all other options and the timing.
Joy, thank you for your 5 star review! We appreciate your residency! If there is anything you need during your time here at UA please reach out to the office.
|Recommended: YesAffordable place with some trade offs — I like how easy the parking is. But the noise insulation is not well. You can often clearly hear your neighbors and loud cars at no matter day or night. The apartment also have cockroaches problems, and sadly even pest control didn't do much. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the work orders are usually solved in a timely manner. The location is nice and affordable, and for that you get some trade offs. So overall its a fairly decent place.
Li, thank you for your feedback! I am glad to hear that parking has been working out for you and any maintenance issues that have popped up we could quickly take care of. Some of the challenges we face as an older property can be noise, please know that if you are experiencing excessive noise issues from a particular unit let us know and we can work on resolving that for you. We are working diligently to resolve any pest issues. Please update the office/maintenance with any problems so that we can resolve the issue for you.
|Recommended: YesAmazing place to live — It is a very nice place to live and safe. Plus it is really a central location to Duke and to Downtown
Thank you for your feeback!
|Recommended: YesNice and quiet — I would recommend living here
Thank you for your feedback!
|Recommended: YesGreat location and very affordable I definitely recommend this place to anyone. Despite being close to a busy road, I had no issues with noise. It was close to everything a 5-minute bus ride to Duke and a 10-minute drive to everything else. The management is superb. They are very friendly and helpful. I had to move out due to COVID, and they made the whole process to leave the lease very easy. It is an old building so it comes with some disadvantages like run-down bathrooms but overall the apartment itself is great. Plenty of storage and kitchen space. Lots of windows. Plus, I only had to pay for internet and energy in terms of utilities so the utility bill was very small too Overall, a great place.
