She is such a kind soul with an amazing personality and truly outstanding customer service. I saw someone used the words "rare" and "invaluable" on another site review for her and boy did they nail it. Ms. Elizabeth genuinely cares and you don't get that with a lot of people. She is patient, helpful, and always willing to make sure things are taken care of. Having her really made a difference in us choosing this community as our home. I hope Ms. Elizabeth remains at this property because she brings light to others and is such a pleasure to work with. I am so grateful for all of her help and kindness.

He didn't have to act that fast, but that's just the kind of person he is--always on point, professional, and dependable. Allen truly deserves recognition for the hard work he consistently puts in. Speaking of recognition--I'd love to suggest that management consider creating a Yelp QR code for the property. Google only allows you to post one review, but Yelp lets you give credit where it's due more than once. That way, great team members like Allen can get the ongoing appreciation they deserve! Thank you again, Allen, for always showing up and handling things with such care and urgency!

Update 8/2014 - We've lived here for years and while I can still say the staff is nice it seems the…read morequality of tenants here has gotten pretty bad. We've had to call the police non-emergency number very often this year due to extremely loud crashing and music very late in the night/extremely early in the morning. Cans are strung up in trees for neighbors to shoot at and we've had wet trash dumped in our empty trash cans when we've left it out for pickup. If you're a quiet person and can't get a top floor apartment here you may run into problems. ----- I've been living at Artisan at Brightleaf since August 2012 when I moved to the area from several states away. I originally found the apartments through recommendations from friends who had switched from an apartment complex next to the Briar Creek shopping center, and chose Artisan at Brightleaf after personally touring it and many others in the area. At the time, Artisan was completely brand new. Many of the apartments were still being built, they were still working out exactly what they would offer in certain services, and some of the landscaping was not complete. I expected there to be issues with construction noise and possibly other mixups - after living in Atlanta, GA for several years I've become very sensitive about getting some quiet and respect. None of my worries happened. They were very smart about keeping construction under control and I was surprised to find it complete as I never heard the noise! The landscaping was completed and beautiful, there were never any issues with billing, nothing to complain about whatsoever. Through my months of living at Artisan I've only had one real problem with a neighbor who developed an obsession with playing dubstep as loud as possible. Here's where I have advice to anyone sharing a wall with neighbors - there's not much apartment staff can do when you don't let them know and you don't try to record any proof. I let staff know about the neighbor, recorded a little video just in case, and the issue was dealt with wonderfully quickly. It feels good to know that the people who maintain your living complex honestly do care about you. Artisan has trash pick-up from your front door Sundays through Thursdays (which is FANTASTIC, I've never even heard of this service before!) and there is a large trash and recycling deposit area that is an easy walk away. All of my maintenance requests were handled quickly by very respectful and kind maintenance staff. Originally packages were held at the front office, but it seems that now most packages get delivered to your apartment. I've never had anything but pleasant interactions with staff, both on and off the complex. The gym and pool areas are top-notch and kept very clean - which is important when you're sharing equipment and grills with many other people! About those grills, by the way, they're by the pool and feature minifridges. The staff is great about hosting events and food trucks that keep the community involved. The complex is extremely safe (again, I used to live in Atlanta, so this was extremely important to me) and I've never felt uneasy - each apartment even gets two locked doors, one for the porch and one for the main entrance! The apartments themselves are designed extremely well. I'm definitely no decorator, but every guest (including family and "in-laws") have given me compliments about how nice the apartment is. So far I've seen the smaller one-bedroom and I live in a larger two-bedroom, both have kitchens that flow into the living room and a fantastic amount of storage space. All of the appliances are new and electric (you'll be hard pressed to find gas in an apartment) and work perfectly despite all of the food-related trauma we put them through. We're never at a loss for electrical outlets and since completion of construction there have not been power or internet outages (Time Warner) in the area. I've fallen in love with RTP and have been recommending these apartments to anyone looking into the area. If you're thinking of checking them out yourself, don't be afraid to leave a message at the front office asking for what the monthly special is, as they seem to love running themed promotions. *An edit of things I forgot to add in the initial review: - There is a monthly pet rent addition of what I believe is $10 per pet. The complex is very pet friendly with many dog waste stations and a small dog park. I personally have two cats who love to sit on the well-sized windowsills - In my experience the majority of people at Artisan are professional adults, young adult couples, and families without young children - I use Verizon and reliably get 4G throughout the complex

If you're moving here, by God you better remember to give them a 60 day notice when you move out…read morebecause they absolutely will fuck you in the ass with the extra charges. My lease ended on 8/05 and I gave them notice on 6/24. So they extended my lease to 8/24 (2 extra weeks that I didn't ask for) and charged me the month-to-month rent price of $2000+ for the 19 additional days (mind you, I was already moved out before the 19 additional days even started) which costed me $1873 and they charged me an additional $360 for leaving a few drill holes in the walls. Assistant Manager Deborah Kelly is a narcissist and will play in your face. Had the nerve to laugh at me while I was explaining to her how this isn't right. Also don't expect the maintenance staff to handle your requests in a timely manner. Save your response, I don't care to hear your bs excuses. Do better by the residents that shovel money into your pockets.

Be cautious about choosing Uhill as a place to live. There is a reason for the one month free…read morepromo, because residents left. TL;DR Uhill is a nice apartment with a great location but SAFETY is a concern. Be mindful of positive comments posted right after the car break-ins on 7/31 because at that point we all know it is NOT safe. As you see some other reviews after the 31th talking about feeling safe. Please be aware of the news. https://www.wral.com/amp/20980143/ I had been living at Uhill since September 2022. Unfortunately, there were a lot of car break-ins in July 2023 at Uhill and nearby apartments. Specifically, within Uhill, two parking lots were targeted just two weeks apart. What's disappointing is that the apartment management failed to notify residents about these first break-ins and didn't make the security better. Residents of Uhill asked for better security, like hiring a security company for night patrols and having a guard watch the security cameras. I believe having fence alarm would also be crucial. However, the management said they wouldn't make big changes, although they did say sorry for what happened and offered up to $500 for repairs. From the incident, there were glass pieces in the parking lot causing flat tires which the complex didn't clean up properly. even after a whole month you can see glass piece is in many parking spaces(see pic, this was taken on August 20th so 3 weeks after the incident). Parking lot also have a spot where people can just walk through without effort(see pic). Also, a friend who lived here told me about a problem with the Latch door locks that let someone break in. The management didn't warn anyone about that either. They have security cameras, but they are not being monitored. They tell us to lock our car doors, but that doesn't make sense because if our doors were unlocked, there wouldn't be any broken windows. Also, there were electric gate signs placed around the apartment that caught residents and dogs off guard. The apartment has to let resident know of the change before placing the signs. There is also a spot in the parking lot where anyone can easily walk in and out of, don't even need to climb. Because of the safety concerns, I decided to leave. I had just renewed my lease right before the incident, so I had 13 months left on the contract. But they're charging me the full penalty, which is like two months' rent plus a 30-day notice. They also trying to charge me for utilities after I left and returned the key for the utility THEY used while I do not have access to the apartment. They won't let me pay the penalty in installments. I strongly believe that the break-lease fee should have been waived given the circumstances of lack and refuse to sufficiently improve security. They do minor changes such as fixing the cameras(which means it had not been working), fixing doors(some had been broken for a while). All these changes are not enough for me to feel safe. The lease says Uhill IS NOT responsible for security, and any safety stuff they add that is beneficial to residents is extra and purely incidental. Be aware. Fixing my dryer took two months because they didn't have the parts, which is understandable. However, they didn't tell me anything until I asked after a month. My clothes got messed up because I couldn't adjust the temperature. Even though there are empty apartments, I would've preferred a replacement. Even with these problems, I can't deny that living at Uhill is convenient as it is located near O2 fitness, Target and Sam's. The rent is more expensive than any nearby apartments. My one bedroom cost about $1800+$35valet trash fee(which pickup times were not consistence)+$99 smart home package(net+cable). I thought I would rather pay more for safety/security, but now it is clear that it is not any safer than other places just be mindful of that. The staffs, especially Nancy and Mary, are nice, but I wish the apartment done more to make me feel safe.

This place is the BOMB! Although, I will admit, when I first entered, during Durham's Third Friday…read morethis past month, my immediate thought was "a prison full of artists." I'm not sure why I got the prison feeling, it could've been the completely white washed walls covering the entire building or the fact that each artist is perfectly contained in a small white room with a sliding white door that is padlocked once they leave; but prison of artists was my first thought (in the best way of course!) Golden Belt Studio is a building consisting of several long white hallways adorned with multiple sliding doors on both sides (some with windows, some without). There's some signage when you first walk into the studio that lists stall numbers and names, but as a newcomer, I wasn't quite sure how to navigate. I simply walked the halls and peaked in each door to discover a new artist. When you look inside the different stalls, the entire place brightens up and changes, rooms full of photography, oil paintings, metal sculpture, hand-made jewelry, etc. One would never know they exist unless they stepped inside the tiny rooms. I've only been here during Third Friday, but it's definitely a great time to come. Almost every vendor was open selling their artwork (some even has beverages to offer). In addition, the Durham Arts Guild was present and offering wine as well from a table in the foyer. Golden Belts Studios should definitely be on your Third Friday list. In fact, if you're only planning to visit only one gallery, I'd make it this one (because it's about 25+ galleries in one!) You will definitely find a media that suites everyone, there's plenty of parking in the back lot and you can curtail the time to your needs (either visiting one or two stalls if you're short on time or ALL if you have all night!) This is truly a hidden gem of Durham, I'm shocked I've never heard of it until last weekend and hope to have convinced YOU to give it a visit!

This is a guard i never seen before. I thought he was saying the package is at the wrong location so I replied they go here i scanned them for this location. And he went off talking about he's in charge and has been working there for 6 years and he knows what goes there and what doesn't. I asked him why is he so combative? I also let him know I always leave the packages there and I noticed someone came into the lobby and was standing there. So I asked him if he was the manager and he said yes and the very next thing out the managers mouth was "let him talk". I was so upset I had to take a few seconds before I said anything else. I guess the manager could see how upset I was by the comment he made that's when he asked me what was wrong. I didn't reply so he asked again still I didn't respond because I'm burning inside over the let him talk comment and that's when the security guard said he only take packages for residents and I would have to deliver the packages to the businesses. I'm going to end this right here

I've lived at Cosgrove Hill for about six months and can honestly say that this place is as good as…read moreit gets in terms of apartment living. Kevin and Paul do a fantastic job with management overall and made me feel very welcome when I initially moved in. There are also regular community events of one type or another. Maintenance has always been prompt and you can enter requests using the resident portal. From what I've read, these units were originally built to be condos and the quality of my unit shows it -- there are nice touches like hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and track lighting. The climate control works great and my unit appears to be very energy efficient -- I always turn the A/C or heat off when leaving for work in the morning and when I return in the evening, the temperature is within five degrees of when I left no matter how hot or cold it was during the day. In my experience, Cosgrove Hill is also quiet.... I don't hear my neighbors and noise from outside the building is minimal (well, maybe except for the occasional sirens on Fordham Blvd). The location is great... a lot of shopping and dining is minutes away, although not quite walking distance. I work at UNC and it's a five mile drive. Cosgrove Hill might be slightly more expensive than other apartment complexes in the area, but in my experience it's well worth it -- based upon my experience you can't go wrong choosing to live there.

Disappointing Experience at Cosgrove My time at Cosgrove was…read moreincredibly disappointing. The management conveniently added stricter rules after I moved in, even though they were much more relaxed beforehand.
