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.

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.

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!

Didn’t lease here but worthy of 5 stars

I leased at the sister property aura in chapel hill. This aura was nice but location was not it for me. Hard to get to the highway and far from work. Erica though was lovely and delightful and recommend the other aura for me. So I’m psyched !!!

Said Yes to the Address

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!

Sad how empty this apartment is and it's honestly because the amenities and space are not there compared to all the other builds nearby. My apartment had terrible soundproofing as well and I woken up by garbage trucks at 5 am nearly every weekday because the apartment's back is to a school. Garage door was broken for almost 6 months. I think the worst part though was how nice the staff seemed until I signed the lease. After that though, it took so much back and forth to get simple maintenance tickets looked at or even a response from the staff. They also nickel and dime you on everything including amenity fees, etc. I would not live here, much better newer apartments with much better locations and staff nearby.

Really nice place to live. Quiet but still close to downtown, so we can enjoy both sides of the city. Also communication here is good. The apartment itself is new, the amenities are great so in my opinion no complaints. Our apartment doesn’t have any balcony which I’m lacking off. At least living on the 5th floor is giving me beautiful sunsets with magnificent view on the downtown.
