It’s great to live in Uhill! Thanks to Mary, Nancy, and all uhill supportive and nice staff to give me this beautiful experience!

Uhill has been an amazing place to live. The modern design and fully equipped facilities make life super convenient, and the neighborhood has everything you could ever need—gym, restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops all nearby. They also organizes regular events like free yoga and dessert and drinks, which makes it feel like one big family.
What really makes this place stand out for me though, are the staff, especially Nancy and Mary. When I first moved in, I had so many questions about things like packages, insurance, and paying rent, but they were always there to help me figure it all out. They’ve made everything so much easier. Even when I’ve felt frustrated or overwhelmed, they’ve been a huge source of support and encouragement.
As an international student, adjusting to life in a new place can be tough, but they have given me strength,warmth and peace of mind. For me they’re the heart of this community, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done to make here a better place to live. Truly love them and appreciate how much they’ve made Uhill feel like my second home. ❤️

I took a tour of UHill last weekend and all I can say is WOW! This place is different - in so many good ways. There is art everywhere. Huge murals, funky furniture, and beautiful colors. The design of this complex makes so much sense too - you can tell it was designed with intention. Multiple spacious common areas that have a private feel. Huge apartments with big windows and closets, with beautiful appliances and finishes. There are SO many places you can walk to - a coffee shop, salad place, cute little gift shop, brewery, and more. And target is right around the corner. There’s also dog wash station, pool area with wood fired pizza ovens, even a plant nursery….?! The staff was super friendly (shout out to Mary who is the sweetest) and everyone we passed in hallways smiled and said hello. I love where I live but this was the first place that made me think I could move and be even happier there. If you’re considering the Durham area, you really should check out this masterpiece of a complex.

I’ve been living at University Hill for a year now, and I absolutely love calling this place my home. The environment is peaceful and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere every time I come back. The amenities are top-notch, making life here not only comfortable but also convenient.
What really makes this place special, though, is the incredible staff. They are always so friendly, caring, and quick to help with anything you need. Their warmth and dedication truly enhance the experience of living here.
If you’re looking for a place that combines great amenities with a supportive and welcoming community, I highly recommend University Hill!

By far the best place I have ever lived. Nothing is ever broken for more than a day and also kept spotless. All of the appliances are new and run super quiet. The best part is the staff. They are always on top of their game and so helpful. More apartments need to live up to what this one brings! One of the main reasons I will be trying to move back to Durham. Please make one in the Portland area!

I visited the Murals while on a road trip (passing by). The area looked great as you drive up to it especially if you’re into murals. It’s a mixed use complex with buildings scattered throughout. I took pictures with the J Cole and Little Brother murals. I thought the murals were all lined up on a strip, but they are not.
While we were there, we considered getting food from one of the restaurants, but none of them seemed appealing, so we didn’t eat anything and got back on the road.

I moved to UHill Apartments from NYC about 3 years. I ended up moving out after I became an employee. I missed it so much that I decided to come back just a few months ago! The location is awesome & your minutes away from everything you possibly need- target, Sam’s, restaurants just foot steps away, the mall, airport, Chapel Hill, Duke & Downtown Durham. I wouldn’t have moved back if it weren’t for the amazing team that I work with but that also keeps the building running almost perfectly! Carlos, Mary, James, Ken & Larry work hard to keep this place as immaculate as possible. Thank you for making UHill feel like home again!

As a Duke graduate student, I found UHill to be the perfect living space. The accessibility and convenience it offers is unparalleled.
Firstly, I want to highlight the exceptional staff. Mary is incredibly kind, nice, and always ready to help with any issue. Her warm demeanor makes every interaction a pleasure. Similarly, the manager Carlos deserves special mention. His willingness to offer me a short-term lease, understanding my situation as a graduating student in December, was a perfect example of his kindness. Nancy, who conducted my initial virtual tour via Zoom, was equally impressive. Her friendly and professional approach made me feel confident in choosing UHill.
Another aspect that stands out is the ambiance, especially the refreshing and welcoming smell in the lobby. It's a small detail, but it significantly enhances the living experience.
Lastly, the monthly activities organized by UHill, each with a unique theme, created a sense of community and belonging. It's a great way for residents to connect and feel part of something special.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend it to any Duke student looking for a convenient and pleasant living space.
