I am moving to durham to begin graduate school in a few months, and I was looking for some help in my apartment search.
I am looking for somewhere that is walking/shuttle distance from west campus so that I will not have to drive every day. Proximity to restaurants and shops would be nice too.
As a grad student, I have a budget and was looking for places with one bedroom apartments for $800 or less a month.
I would go on the Duke housing listserv. Lots of good apartments will pop up on there as they become available. I know University Commons has a sign up right now saying they have a one bedroom apartment available. You can easily walk/bike/ride bus to West Campus from there and would also be easy biking distance to Ninth Street/Whole Foods/etc. Also within the Duke Safe Rides zone.
