“I love living here – the proximity to downtown Durham, the sky lounge view of the Bulls stadium, the gym, sauna, steam room, pool, pool tables, and the friendly staff at the front desk (shoutout Ondia!!!). Maintenance is fast and the neighbors are friendly. Parking is never an issue. Staff does a…”

“Van Alen has been an around amazing place to live. Ashli and Breana were so responsive and helpful during the leasing process. With both going above and beyond to answer any questions we had. On top of that the concierge team have been great for answering general questions and handling packages.”

“Moving from FL, I visited multiple apartments in Durham before I stumbled across Van Alen. Ashli Tucker, one of the leasing representatives, accommodated us as a last minute walk in before 5pm on a rainy Sunday (no appointment scheduled). Not only did she take the extra time after her working hou…”

“Van Alen is a nice place to live overall and the apartments and amenities are nice. But the rent tends to be way over the market rate for the area so you have to be able to afford it. Its age is definitely starting to show with things like doors and locks being consistently broken. If they were t…”

“I toured at least 10 different apartment complexes in Durham before finding Van Alen—and the moment I finished my tour here, I knew this was going to be my home. It just felt right. No other place gave me that feeling, and looking back now, I couldn’t be happier with my decision.
From the start,…”

“Upscale city living at its finest! We moved from Boulder, CO last fall and couldn’t ask for ask a better city living experience. The staff from leasing to concierge to maintenance is pure class. My wife works from home in our apartment and has had no issues. It’s quiet but has the perfect amount …”

“Delivery is here are very hard. Everything has to go to a specific building to the concierge desk to be logged in and for me being in a wheelchair that’s very difficult, but there is a gentleman here Kelvin who helped me with a large load of groceries shortly after I moved in the driver from Walm…”
