Nice Downtown Location with Great Amenities

West Village is in Downtown Durham close to a lot of the nice cafes, restaurants, and bars. The campus has a mix of new and old buildings, but they all share great amenities. Most of the tenants are young professionals with a few grad students. I love the location, but the only downside is that it's not quite walking distance to Station 9 where most of the Fuqua students live.

Central to Durham and Duke

West Village is perfectly located in downtown Durham right where all the bars and restaurants are that Fuqua's like to go to which makes it easy to avoid FOMO and walk right over to the Social, Tyler's, or Shooters! More so, the apartments are simply beautiful with high ceilings, modern kitchens with granite countertops, wood floors, and even exposed brick walls and balconies in some units. It's better value for money than S9, plus it's really cool to live in a 100 year tobacco warehouse. The gym is huge compared to most apartment gyms and you have easy access to parking garages, parking lots, and two swimming pools. Living here has made me feel more a part of the Durham community, more active with access to bike and running trails just down the street, and close to everything that's going on. I don't know why more people don't live here!

Getting around Brightleaf


Brightleaf Reviews

29 reviews
Very safe neighborhood, I have never felt unsafe here and have been comfortably walking alone even at night. Streets have good lighting. Very close to bars and restaurants.
Brightleaf is essentially the (very small) area between downtown and Duke's East Campus. It's fairly walkable, has a few good restaraunts, and is about as central in Durham as one can get. It's not the most scenic neighborhood, but if you want to run or walk, you're very close the ATT, or the leafier neighborhoods of Trinity Park.
Love the neighbourhood, very lively filled with the newest restaurants and bars
Really love the brightleaf area. Lots of restaurants and bars. New spots popping up! Very close to downtown.
Love it - Durham is growing very fast and it's nice to be close to it!
Brightleaf tends to be pretty quiet; It is almost entirely made up of West Village. It's walkable to good dining options and is central to Durham as a whole. Not a lot of "neighborliness" however. Most people seem to be working professionals with a few young families.
Fantastic neighborhood - fun to live down town. Very walkable to all bars and restaurants. Close enough to Ninth Street.
Downtown is a very social place with a lot of bars and restaurants. A lot of graduate students live in this complex and the complex is very secure with access cards requirement in every building.
