Neighborhood

Neighboring the Bull City’s vibrant downtown district, Durham City Center, Central Park is a hip, walkable, fun-filled neighborhood dedicated to the arts, recreation, and locally-owned businesses. This namesake community is home to the original Durham Bulls stadium, a skate park, gardens, a seasonal craft market, food trucks, and the Durham Farmers Market. Central Park is a great destination for dining with trendy coffee shops and southern-inspired eateries like Dame’s Chicken and Waffles and Saltbox Seafood Joint. The neighborhood also has a vibrant nightlife with hip venues in repurposed buildings or decorated to maintain an industrial chic aesthetic. For instance, Motorco Music Hall was formerly a car dealership. Since Central Park is so close to City Center, residents have access to even more entertainment, shopping, and dining options nearby. Catch a show at the Durham Performing Arts Center or cheer on your team at the new Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

We've lived here for almost a year and I've waited to give my review until I'd been here long enough to give an honest review. PROS: The staff and residents MAKE this community! The large balcony was the deciding factor on renting our apartment. I love the location and the maintenance team is SUPER FAST in getting things done! The apartments themselves are larger than most of the units in the area. The CONS: There's no dog park. The parking deck is 2 levels that don't connect & the parking spaces are small if you have a larger car like an SUV or truck. There are 2 elevators and 1 of them is locked down for movers, repair, trash collection, etc. at least once a week. The employees of the Senior Center park on the alley that leads to one of the parking garages which doesn't leave enough room for incoming & outgoing traffic simultaneously. I'm not sure how the Aura can fix it since the alley is a public road & not under the Aura's control so I don't fault them for it but it's a problem.

Living here is wonderful! The staff are kind and maintenance is super fast and easy. The location is lovely and it is so fun to walk around downtown. The only downside is that false fire alarms are more common than one would hope, always resulting in some stress to us and our cat. This issue has gotten better since we moved in, and I hope it continues to trend that way!

It’s good but I think the apartment has increased fee for everything like parking, even coffee which we’re not there the last year. Nonetheless the experience is good

Apartment is nice. Minor issues solved timely. The only thing i would note for people to consider is that the walls are not very soundproof, but it is not a big issue

Love the amenities and staff is great! I have had a smooth transition moving in and there is ample and secure parking. I also feel like I need to get a dog because the wash room goes crazy.

It's been two weeks, but so far, so good. The staff are always around, friendly, and responsive. My experience with tenants has also been incredibly positive. Easy access to the American Tobacco Trail, walking distance to Bulldega, DPAC, and all sorts of bars and restaurants. I've missed city living, and so far loving it here!

I was debating between Durham and Chapel Hill and toured several apartments in Durham. Although Aura 509 wasn’t my top choice on paper based on my research, the service I received during the tour was exceptional. When I arrived, Phil was busy finishing up another tour, but another gentleman greeted me warmly, brought me to their coffee bar, and made some pleasant small talk while I waited. Phil then took over and was incredibly welcoming and detailed throughout the tour. The building was spotlessly clean—something I didn’t see at many other complexes I visited. The apartment I was shown was fresh, clean, and had a lovely view of the pool area with modern fixtures. Although it was a bit smaller than I had hoped, Phil showed me other great options. In the end, I found an apartment that worked perfectly for me. Highly recommend Aura 509 for their outstanding service!
