The thermal isolation is very bad, and the ground floor is cold all the time. In the summer roaches appear, although the property owners always try to help and send people to deal with it. Even though electricity bills in winter are higher than in other places, is one of the cheapest options. They are just installing a washing machine and a dryer in mine, before doing the laundry was a bit tedious.

Pros: Proximity to school, nature, laundry building nearby, clotheslines, responsive maintenance, cheaper than other similar rentals.

Cons: Off and on cockroach problem, not near anything else besides school, laundry facilities are not great.

Its a quiet community, the rent is reasonable and the services are prompt. You often get bugs here though so make sure to keep the place clean. The apartment is a bit old but well maintained. Overall, I would recommend living here if its just under a year.

Apartment is spacious for two people. Poor insulation so downstairs gets cold in the winter but overall fine. Neighborhood is mostly families so feels very safe. Some issue with cockroaches but management was quick to address the problem. 15 minute walk from campus. In general the apartment is good for the monthly rent value and management is awesome.

Nothing over the top or fancy. It's a calm and relaxed place. The only limitation is there are no washers and dryers inside the apartment because we have a common place for that.

I like walking to school every day.

This house is definitely not the most fancy in Durham, but it is one of the best places for students.
The rent is cheap, the house is spacious and all the appliances work perfectly. As well, it is a very calm neighbourhood, so it is great for studying and sleeping without anyone bothering.

The stay at the apartment has been good. It is very convenient to reach campus either through the LaSalle Loop bus or even by walk. The place is quite good if you have to live in a community with lot of families. It is great to take your pets out for a walk. The amenities like washing machine are in a common space and the house lacks a microwave. The closet space is alright if you don't have a lot of luggage.

Poplar west is good to live in. I love the townhouse structure and good location.

Low rent, lovely townhouse, walking distance to west campus, near the bus station. But the safety may not as good as other luxury departments. An we don't have washing machine and dryer in our home. We need to use the public ones.
