The houses are wood made. Some electrical utilities are old. It was unsafe during Nov 2018. Now there are police guarding to community.

Leasing and gym is not bad.

It's a great place, nice apartments with exceptional views and the clubhouse is amazing too. Gym membership is included and there is also a pool. In general you may think this is THE place.

BUT, there were armed robberies/break-ins in the back side of the property. The owners response was very commendable and now there is a lot more security, but there are kinks in this armor. Also it is very expensive. We are sharing rooms. If you don't want to, it's almost twice as expensive as Campus Walk (But it is an ungated and a very basic property).

security problem but has been improved

Walking distance to Duke Med

There were some safety issues where there were a string of armed robberies in the fall, but Belmont has upped security measures a lot and there has been none since. Otherwise, it's a very easy walk to the hospital and the most affordable within the walking distance especially if you want 2 bedroom 2 bath apartments (I can speak less on single bed/bath places). They upgraded the gym so it is very nice and convenient.

The apartment complex is good, the surroundings are good and quiet most of the times but the recent robbery incidences have made the place quite disturbing to the residents.

It's a good experience except for a month where seven robberies happened. We felt quite unsafe those days especially international students. So research well, before choosing any apartment. Safety comes first.

4 robberies in 2 weeks. Don’t stay there unless they’ve amped up security and put up electric fencing around the property

At September and October 2018, there were several break-in issues happened in the community. Fortunately, their attitudes and actions after the robbery are overall satisfactory, which makes Belmont still an okay place to live.

Other dimensions of the apartments are fine.

My roommate and I moved to the Belmont in order to be closer to the hospital during second year. However, there have recently been several armed robberies within the Belmont community. It seemed like the management was slow to take measures to increase security. We also heard a description of one of the incidents from a classmate that was very different from the information sent out by management. They have since added security guards and reinforced the doors but it still does not feel safe.
