Belmont is not recommended for international students

Due to all the accidents happened recently, I find that Belmont apartments lack sufficient security measures to help protect the safety of its residents. Management is not responsive. And the police is really ineffective. Although there are security guards working at Belmont right now, I don't know whether this kind of service is going to last or not. If Belmont stops offering this service, this place could again turn to be a target of the criminals.

Good but unsafe

There were 5 armed robberies in a week at the Belmont. It’s very unsafe. But undoubtedly it has the most beautiful property amongst all. It’s up to you to choose. Hopefully it can become safer till you guys come.

Good environment, but safety is a concern

Overall good living environment. The community is quiet with a lot of international students living here. However, several armed robberies have taken place in the community due to the opening front and back gate and no security cameras. The doors for each apartment are relatively old and it is not impossible for someone to kick it open (that's how some break-in happened). If you are looking for an apartment for more security, don't choose Belmont.

Please do not recommend this place to anyone

My experience at the Belmont has nothing but disappointing. Be prepared to deal with roaches, silverfishes and other pests + no elevators + no garbage disposal services + HIGHLY UNSAFE COMMUNITY with a LOT OF ROBBERIES AND THEFTS + old fashioned apartments. Absolutely horrifying!! I do not recommend anyone to live here!

Belmont apartments

Belmont is a good property with good value for money. The clubhouse, pool and lakeside make it an attractive property.
The concern though is that of safety. In November 2018, we had around 5 robberies in our apartment and it took a lot of effort to get the authorities moving.

Great location, value, service

I've had a very positive experience at the Belmont. It's very convenient to class (10 minute bike ride, 20 minute walk, or bus). The gate isn't always closed, but there is added security that allows me to feel safe walking around. Maintenance requests are completed timely. Office can usually answer my questions. Pool and fitness room are great. Walking distance from chipotle for easy dinner. Apartments are smaller and older than Station 9/Berkshire 9, but definitely worth it for the lower rent.

Good to stay but overpriced

Belmont is close to west campus with bus stops nearby. It is convenient for new students who are not familiar with the area. The community is well-equipped, with plenty of parking places, open area, and gym. The 2b2b apartment can be comfortably shared by two, but it is over-priced a bit and the price is rising every season.

Great for the price

Belmont is right by Loft and Trinity, so easy walking distance to Fuqua and yet probably 30-40% cheaper. You don't get the granite counters, wooden floors or nice lobby of the other places, but I calculated I probably saved $12,000 over the course of the MBA by living here. It is also quite with a nice walking path around the lake which is all fenced in for just the community to use, which the other places don't have. The pool is larger than the other spots as well. The place shows a little age but certainly not to the point of feeling crummy or dirty.

Erwin - LaSalle Reviews

430 reviews
It's been perfectly fine. People are nice but it's not much of a community, just a place where people live. Behind the Belmont which had a spate of robberies a few months back, but the Flats is further away from the main road and is better lit. So far no security incidents or concerns at the Flats. Affordability depends on which apartment complex you choose in the Erwin-LaSalle area. Wide range in rents, ranging from very expensive to very affordable depending on which one you pick.
The broader neighborhood's chief attribute is convenience to Duke. A lot of students live in the apartment complexes around here. It can be inconvenient sometimes getting to a supermarket from the neighborhood, though (eventually they're going to re-open a Harris Teeter on Hillsborough, which should mitigate this issue somewhat).
The neighborhood was perfectly fine when I started living there, but recently there have been some armed robberies in apartment buildings that are about a 10 minute walk away. However, I would like to say that I have not felt unsafe walking home at night and the security at Trinity is quite high. For example, you have to use a special key to get into the lobby (where a security guard sits after dark) and then you have to use the key to get in from the lobby to where the rooms are, and then again to get into your room. There are about 10 good restaurants within walking distance ranging from greek food to Mexican food to sushi so it's great for a quick dinner when you don't want to cook. There is also a hair salon and a manicure place, as well as a Walgreens pharmacy. We are very close to Duke Hospital and the bus systems are very accessible.
The apartments are close to campus and easily accessible through bus, bike, or walking if desired. There is a nearby Kroger that is a less than 5 min drive away just up LaSalle St. Overall, there are some older apartments further up the road that have had issues with crime in the past, but The Heights and other apartments around the area seemed to be insulated from those issues.
The food in the area is really accessible and I feel quite safe in the surrounding area, excluding the gas stations and bus stop. I've heard some odd things at night but never seen anything fishy and feel safe coming home at night. +Tons of dogs!
Lofts is right next to a few restaurants - TGIFridays, Chipotle, Enzo's, Noodles, Smash Burger, Sushi Love, etc. The Kroger grocery store is just a few minutes away, off of Lasalle. This is a quiet neighborhood.
Quiet neighbourhood. Conveniently located to West Campus and walking distance to Fuqua. Easy and healthy fast food options nearby. Close to food stores e.g. Kroger & Harris Teeter. Close to WaDuke trail.
Not the safest neighborhood and has little transit. There have been issues at other apartment complexes with safety, but Heights has been very safe. It is absolutely fine to walk around in the day here, but not at night. There are not very many restaurants or bars nearby, although downtown Durham is 10 minutes away.
