Since you really can’t even start thinking about living off campus until senior year, most students don’t worry about it too much. However, if you’re a big “I want my own apartment!" kind of person, you might not be thrilled by Duke's options. While there are plenty of apartment complexes close to campus, Duke and Durham lack a cosmopolitan high-rise scene that other universities often possess.
That being said, the options off campus are more than sufficient. There are many new apartment buildings, and most are reasonably priced. Additionally, there are houses for sale or rent off East Campus.

Off Campus Housing
Off Campus Housing is possible, however, you are best off having a car. Also, downtown Durham is not exactly the safest area to live in, so On Campus Housing may be easier and safer.

Limited but Open to Duke
Durham is a scary place. They're pretty cheap and some a literally just targeted to Duke undergrand, so you can do what you want with minimal noise complaints.

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
