I live one hour and thirty minutes one way from Merck right now. I want something close. I went and looked at apartment only nine minutes away. They had security everywhere everything electronically locked. SCARY.
I would like to stay where I know its safe and I can walk my dog without a stun gun in my pocket. Merck is totally secured, but once you leave it looks pretty ghetto. Any suggestions?
Oh yeah, I think that area near Old Oxford Road can be really bizarre.
I'd love to advise you on specific apartments, but I can't really in that area. Would you go for a 20 minute drive? I think I've seen Croasdaile Apartments mentioned here. I live in Durham but not North Durham - from what I understand, North Durham is pretty safe - I almost rented a house by putting an ad on Craigslist, maybe try that?
Yep -- the North Durham areas east of Guess Rd., north of I-85 are very nice and plenty affordable. There's some luxury apartments about ten years old in Croasdaile Farm, run by Garden View Realty (great landlord) -- available for a bit less money now that brand-new apartments are coming online downtown. Also, the apartments between Guess and Hillandale north of I-85 are worth a look. Or, you could look for house rentals in the Infinity/Latta or Rose of Sharon/Cole Mill Rd area. And of course, there's always the "popular" neighborhoods around downtown Durham. Good luck!
You drive an hour and 30 minutes to work each way??? You must work in VBF, those people are crAzy down there.
Sincerely,
