Love my UHILL Apartment! It is really cozy the way they have the courtyard string lights on at night! I also like to decorate with my photography to give the place my own look and feel.
Great team here as well! ... maintenance, office, etc. Shout out to Nancy for always being so helpful to all of us University Hill residents!
What else... parking is super easy and safe! Overall a great spot to be at over here in Durham!

University Hill is by far the best apartment complex I have lived at in Durham! The apartments themselves are beautiful, new, clean, and very well maintained. The leasing office staff and maintenance team are very helpful, kind, honest, and efficient! Every interaction I have had with them has been pleasant and professional. Shoutout to Nancy, who helped me tour and move into a unit on the same day because of last minute housing issues I had with a previous apartment complex. She is kind and thoughtful, and always takes the time to say hello to residents and even ask about my pet haha. Rent is very reasonable given the quality of the apartments, amenities, location, etc even on a Duke grad student budget :) I have genuinely enjoyed every aspect of living at University Hill, but to summarize some of my favorite things...
-The new samsung appliances (kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, etc) are fantastic and save on water and electricity bills too.
-Location is great, being central to plenty of stores, Duke campus, and even walking distance to some great coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants.
-Amenities are wonderful and much better than other "luxury" apartments in the area. Apart from a great gym, lounge, and office rooms they have a salt water pool, multiple pizza ovens, a doggy play area, and an indoor gardening center.
-The leasing office really makes an effort to form a community within the complex, and host lots of fun and free events for residents ranging from cooking classes to yoga to pet photo sessions.
-I love the artsy vibe of the apartments, with the beautiful lobby area and murals on the exterior, and they also make a point to host local Durham artists in craft workshops and art fairs as well.
-The apartments are quiet, and residents are very friendly to one another and respectful of shared spaces.
-Units are well-lit and even have dimmers on the living area, bedroom, and hall lights

University Hill Apartments has wonderful amenities, including a beautiful lobby with many spaces to hang out with friends or complete work. The gym and pool are very nice as well. The appliances included in the apartments are very new and the apartments themselves are renovated well. The staff is very kind and helpful. Working with Mary was great and we really appreciated her help.

Nancy at UHill Apartments is truly exceptional! From the moment I reached out, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my experience was perfect. Her professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness are unmatched. She’s always quick to respond, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about making the process seamless and enjoyable.
Nancy’s passion for her work is evident in everything she does. She made me feel valued and took the time to address all my questions with patience and clarity. Moving can be stressful, but with Nancy’s guidance and support, it felt effortless.
The level of service she provides is rare to find these days. If you’re considering UHill Apartments, rest assured you’ll be in the best hands with Nancy. She’s a true asset to the team, and I can’t thank her enough for her dedication and kindness!

My daughter moved in to Uhill July 2024. She absolutely loves it there. Mary greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel at home and comfortable right away. Mary answered all of our questions and got us organized for move in day!
The amenities are 5 star including the gym, pool area, green egg smoker, study areas, movie seating and green room. Mary goes above and beyond for her guests and tenants.
The BEST amenity and most convenient is a 2 bedroom guest suite that is available - I have had the pleasure to stay there on several occasions. It is decorated and furnished with all the comforts of home. So convenient to stay where my daughter lives yet still give her her privacy and space she needs.
Stay there during your next visit.

It’s great to live in Uhill! Thanks to Mary, Nancy, and all uhill supportive and nice staff to give me this beautiful experience! The fully equipped facilities make your life quite easy, and the neighborhood has everything you need - Target, bullbox, gym, coffee shops. Since I am an international student and it’s my first time living in US, I always have tons of questions regarding to packages, electronics, rent, insurance. However, all the staffs are patient and help me to figure out, especially thanks to Mary and Nancy! Btw, it has the most breathtaking view in Durham, if you don’t want to miss it, come and choose to live at Uhill now! It’s the best in Durham!

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!
