Durham Greens Apartments

Apartment is very neat and clean. Balcony view is very pleasant. Everything’s is working good in apartment like dishwasher, taps, etc.
Apartments are here is very nyc. I recommend to everyone.

Lived here for more than a year, Mostly a good community with polite residents. Laundry machines are faulty and my electric bike was stolen from where it was locked up 3 feet from my front door, otherwise, fine. About a year after I moved in they offered to renew my lease for an extra 700$ a month, or let me switch to a monthly lease for an extra 900$. Can't recommed moving in unless you plan to leave as soon as your lease ends.

No Transparency on the availability of the apartment. They push something we don't like or something in the 2nd floor or 3rd floor even the ground floor apartment is available.

The leasing office staff are very arrogant and there are a lot of car break ins and thefts even though it is a gated community. Not a safe community to live in, my car parking is right opposite to leasing office where there are surveillance cameras but still someone from outside easily managed to break in into my car. I reported to the cops about the car theft and went to the leasing office to talk with them about the incident as they are open at 9am after 30 minutes of wait a lady came around... 9:30 am they never are punctual and when I spoke with her she said there is nothing they can do and when I questioned them about the outgate which was left wide open as it was not working since 2 weeks giving access to outside people to easily get in and out she said said outsider would enter either way but I was not happy with that answer so I asked her when they were going to fix the gate she did not have an answer for it and just closed the leasing office door on my face and left without even answering me. Later I wrote an email to the manager and I never heard back from her as and if you want to meet the manager you can’t because she is never around. I strongly believe the break in just happened because of the management negligence as they left the gates open since 2 weeks without fixing them giving access to outside people to get in and out of the community at any time of the day.

1) There are many theft incidents. Every week a car is vandalized. My car glasses were broken and management was careless and no further action to avoid such future incidents. Many hideous areas without proper lighting and cameras. Frequent anonymous activities sighted on premise.

2) They rip off your security deposit, how much ever good you leave your apartment clean. No consideration of basic wear and tear even if you lived for many years. Take proof before and after moving if you plan to... live here, which i don't recommend. Manager will ask you to take legal avenue if you question charges.

3) High rent for such small apartment with outdated layout and appliances. You will get frequent maintenance issues. No individual water/sewer meters, so expect high utility charges. Read More
