Beckon Apartments

Love the building and its size, and also the price compared to other units in the area. Soundproofing is not great though. Be prepared to hear your upstairs neighbours toilet flushing and general moving around. Generally speaking the building itself is very quiet. The amenities and events are great, and the leasing office are very helpful and welcoming. I’m really enjoying living here so far.

I’ve had a great experience at Beckon so far as a new resident! There were a few maintenance issues upon move in that Adrian was super responsive to and Sean was great getting everything resolved! I love my apartment and the amenities are great!

Beckon, a delightful place to call home in Durham. Nestled in a prime location, you’ll enjoy easy access to all the city’s vibrant offerings. Take a leisurely weekend stroll to the farmers market or indulge in some delicious food at the nearby Durham Food Hall. Grocery, shopping, and downtown are all within walking distance. It’s a dream come true for those who prefer a car-free lifestyle. Plus, the on-site park and dog park make it even more fun.

If you’re a professional in AI or health tech,... you’ll be thrilled to know that Beckon is just a stone’s throw away from Durham’s innovation hub. The amenities here are top-notch, especially the well-equipped gym with a heavy bag for stress relief. And the beautifully decorated co-working lounge creates a cozy and inviting space.

Beckon is a nice new apartment located in the heart of downtown Durham. It is a very nice complex full of diverse individuals with myriad backgrounds. Students and working professionals fill the building and they are all nice neighbors.

The staffs at Beckon have been very welcoming and never get tired of answering the residents' redundant questions. I think the highlight of Beckon is not only the property, however also the staffs who work in the building

The only positive is that the staff is helpful and responsive.

Construction quality is lower than you'd expect moving from a more developed area, but par for downtown Durham. Appliances are not very reliable, in the space of a few months I've had two appliances repaired. Each time, ordering parts took a few weeks.

Apartment is very dog-centric. To live here you should either be a dog owner or comfortable walking through all kinds of dirt, leaves, fur etc. on a daily basis. The cleaning service... can't keep up with the dirt all the dogs track in so some hallways are generally squalid and dirty.

Walls are thin so neighbors are audible: you'll hear music, and know if they are cooking, assembling furniture etc.

The only real community seems to be the dog-owner clique - some folks are normal, and some make dog ownership their entire personality.

Package room is a mess, you usually need to look through every shelf to find your package.

I recommend you live elsewhere if you have options. Read More
