The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Blu on Farrington
Horrible management team won't listen to tenants for any concern that aren't in original contract. Aggressive pricing policy that scams people by fronting as a Luxury Apartment. Smelled like drugs, raised to management multiple times and said nothing they can do. Avoid at all costs, save your money. The pool is invaded with people that do not live there. Aesthetic of a luxury apartment, management not of one.
Property Manager at Blu on Farrington, Responded To This Review
Good Morning: Thank you for taking time to review your experiences with our community. We regret your unpleasant experience and the issues you've raised. We have a very active and involved management, leasing and maintenance team that work together to ensure no issue or concern is brushed off or left at "nothing we can do," So, your feedback was quote unrepresentative of the level of service we expect from ourselves. As the lease agreement governs any and all aspects of a resident's time with us at Blu, we do have to operate within those legal guidelines in every case, which all residents agree to once they sign their lease. And, if residents or their guests violate said agreement, we work diligently to remedy the situation to the fullest extent possible. If you have any more specific examples or concerns that we can look at and address, please contact us directly at blu@zaremba.net. Thank you, again, for your review, and we wish you all the best. - Your Blu Team

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad to hear that our staff was friendly and helpful during your apartment search, and that you enjoy our community events. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy your time at Blu.
Apartment unit is nice, but rent cost is not worth it. Management took long periods of time to handle issues, and some issues were just not dealt with. Upon move-out, I am dealing with excessive fees for issues that I had reported before I moved in.
My husband and I are moving to the Durham/Chapel Hill area to be closer to family. I wasn’t thrilled to go back to apartment living but this property has truly changed my mind. Bridgett showed us the C1 floor plan and I amazed by the size. We love the business center. The location of the property is very ideal for us too. I can truly say I’m ready to rent an apartment again. Thanks Bridgett for changing my mind!
Property Manager at Blu on Farrington, Responded To This Review
Good Morning: Thank you for leaving us a 5-star review! We know that finding a new home is a huge life event, which can be stressful. That's why we are so glad to hear that our community and staff have been able to put your mind at ease and meet your needs as you transition to our area. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance as you make the move. We look forward to having you as a resident!
While the first set of units will only be available until Sept 3rd, I had the pleasure to schedule a hardhat tour with the building staff. The place is located in a private and quiet area and is minutes from many shopping places. The room design is modern high rise and have well-thought-out floor planes, and the pool is beautiful with outdoor gas grills. The university discounts and 1-month free may be available also!
