Impressed with amenities

2024 will be my second year at Blu on Farrington. I am impressed with renovated gym. Their gym was lacking before for the size of the community, but they have corrected that, My apartment has a nice entry leading into the living space. Bedrooms fit a full size bed comfortably. Bathrooms are a great size with a narrow linen closet. I have an island in the kitchen.

Great place to live with minimal issues

Overall, my experience has been good! We have had a few problems with the leasing office and I can hear my upstairs neighbor a lot, but overall, I am pleased with the space.

Great Spot

Really nice apartment with great amenities. Parking is easy and the gym works. Haven’t had any issues with management. Maintenance is responsive when called upon. Community events once or twice a month are also nice. The pool area is great. Love the location. About 15min drive to campus with traffic.

Blu on Farrington

The apartment is nice but not very spacious for $1,650 a month. Management is wonderful and plans many great events for the complex. The gym is small but usable. The pool area is very nice. It is not located close to Franklin St. so the social aspect is lacking but that's not a huge deal with Uber/Lyft. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Love the apt layout, the well-kept grounds, and the staff

I love living here! The apartment layout is spacious and functional with lots of storage. The unit is also well updated - it was freshly painted when we moved in, and has stainless steel kitchen appliances, granite countertops, and huge garden tubs in the bathrooms. The many windows in the open floorplan let lots of light into the common areas. Aside from an occasional spider, we haven't had any pest issues.

We haven't had any maintenance issues other than asking some questions about the air filter, and they came promptly and explained everything in detail and changed the filter out early for us. The front office staff are friendly and always hosting events for residents. The clubhouse is great - I love going in there to read or for free coffee. And the pool is nice even though it's not open year round. The property grounds are kept beautiful as well. Rules are enforced, so all the neighbors are respectful and I haven't had any issues like pet waste not being picked up or loud neighbors. This has been the best apartment I've lived in by far.

The only negative would be the neighborhood. Although you're conveniently located a short drive from Southpoint and Chapel Hill, the complex isn't right next to much. There's one shopping center with some restaurants and a couple gas stations at the end of the block, but everything else is 5-10 minutes away. Not a big deal, but just something to be aware of ahead of time. There is also construction next door (a new apartment complex is going up) but there hasn't been much noise or traffic disruption, so it's been fine so far.

Great place to live

Very pet friendly and quick to respond to service requests! On the expensive side but feels very safe. Apartment feels roomy and the community has plenty of parking spots and good management.

Blu on Farrington Review

The amenities are second to none. The pool has grills, lights, patio, turf, plenty of lounge space, and comes with lawn games (cam-jam, corn hole). The apartment frequently has community events. The parking is a giant lot, easy to find parking. The leasing office has free coffee, printer, scanner, computers. The commute to school is 12-15 min, and the average uber/lyft to Franklin is $10.
