Garrett West

Lots of law students live here. There's a gym, pool, plenty of parking for guests, and the apartments are pretty big. The 1 bed/1baths have great natural lighting. The 2bed/2baths not so much. But all in all I'd recommend living here as I've been here all 3 years of law school.

Good value depending on which apartment you're in

I used to live on a first floor unit by the woods and it was awful. I moved to a second floor unit away from the forest and closer to the pool and it has been a much better experience. Definitely worth what I pay in rent now. Many of my friends live here or in the apartment complex next door. I also love how walkable the neighborhood is.

Quiet complex with lots of space

The apartment itself is a lot of space at a better price than similar apartments in the area. The community is quiet with lots of green space and a dog park and playground. Management has been helpful and quick to respond the over 1+ years we’ve been here. The complex is about 10-15 minutes from campus depending on traffic.

Good Apt Not Many Other Médical Students

On the expensive side but I like my apartment enough to renew my lease for second year.

Mixed experience

My roommate and I had serious issues with the apartment at move in, and management was extremely difficult to deal with in resolving these issues. However, our issues were (mostly) resolved, and we haven't had any major problems since then. The biggest plus factors for GW is that it's close to campus while not being too expensive, and there are a lot of other law schools living in the complex.

Garrett Road Reviews

45 reviews
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.
