Poplar West Apartments 2729 Brown Avenue, Durham, NC 27705

"Friendly"

"While this may have changed from when I lived there in 2018, thought I'd post this review anyway: The value of property is extremely good for it's size and location right next to Duke, especially close to the business, public policy and law schools. But the house I had did have a roach problem which persisted even after pest control (provided by the management. They provide it once every few months, I forget the exact number of months). Also, since it's an old apartment complex, insulation is a bit lacking for extreme weather, it snowed in Durham when I was there and for ~10 days, even with the heating on full blast, the internal temp in the house hovered between 55-60 F. It's a decent place, just know that there may be roaches in some houses (my friends who also lived in the same complex but in different houses had fewer roach issues or none at all, so it's a bit of a gamble and I might recommend talking to the current resident of the exact house you are planning to move into, if possible, to find out whether the problem persists)"
