I have not been through the neighborhood very much, but from what I have seen, the residential side of Garrett Road (west of the Garrett Road / Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd intersection) is quiet and safe. The other side of the intersection however - and even the strip mall on the corner across from the Toyota dealership - is a bit rougher and more commercial of an area.

The location is right of US Highway 15 501. There are numerous shopping options located off of this road. The location also provides easy access to both Durham and Chapel Hill as well as Interstate 40. Also, the trails of Duke Forest are located just west of the property. All of these are positives. The negatives would be that a car is basically required to get anywhere.

There's nothing special nearby, you're kind of isolated, and have to drive to go anywhere fun. But, it's a safe residential neighborhood which is personally what I care about.

Great location between Durham and Chapel Hill. About a 10 min drive to school. Not gated and open air entry ways, so does not feel the most secure at times, but have not had any issues.

It’s very quiet; though, there have been car break ins at GW and other apartments in the area.

This is a very nice neighborhood,. There are many stores close by (driving distance), grocery store, gas station, restaurants, home depot, bed bath and beyond, target, etc., that make it convenient.

There are also 3 schools nearby, less than 5 minutes drive.

There's a Sam's and Super Target and Harris Teeter within 5min. Trader Joe's is 10-15min down 15-501, and the med school is about 10-12min away as well. More suburban with a running trail within a 2min run.

The neighborhood has a lot of traffic, but this community is relatively private, and surrounded by trees, so much of the neighborhood's effects are mitigated.
