I love it here! It’s always been a pleasant experience. A tranquil, safe community! I love the events that we have here and the peace of mind I get from living here!

Jul 10, 2021

I have only lived here for 2 weeks now, but so far everything has been wonderful! The entire leasing process was super easy and Odily was very responsive whenever I had any questions. We had to put in a few maintenance requests for our apartment when we first moved in, but the maintenance staff addressed them very quickly and now everything is perfect! I'm so excited for the rest of my time at Realm at Patterson Place!

Jul 9, 2021

The whole experience has been outstanding from beginning to end! The apartment was what I envisioned and more. I look forward to the next few days!

Jul 7, 2021

Really nice place to live, with beautiful facilities. The staff is very kind and efficient with any help or maintenance needed. The community events that are held are fun, and the food trucks coming frequently is a nice treat.

Jul 1, 2021

I’ve been here about 2 weeks and I’ve loved it. Great notifications when something is going to happen and all the facilities feel clean and welcoming. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the weight room doesn’t have a cleaning station every time I go

Jun 30, 2021

Just moved in, but the neighborhood is really nice and can't wait to start using the amenities. The door locks took a few tries to get the hang of, but the apartments are very nice and the location is good too.

Jun 29, 2021

Everything here is amazing. I’ve done my research with this place prior to moving here and everything is spot on. The amenities are clean and well taken cared of, the valet trash service is spot on and actually very helpful, the staff are always eager to help and the apartment left me and my fiancé speechless. Everything is so well thought out and designed beautifully. We love it here!

Jun 27, 2021

The realm is an incredibly welcoming and inviting community. On our first day upon move-in, every neighbor that we passed outside smiled and gave a friendly wave, and our hall mate surprised us with a nice bottle of wine as a welcoming gift. The staff are friendly and always willing to help, the maintenance requests are filled quickly and efficiently, and the apartment itself is absolutely beautiful. The realm is a wonderful place to live that I would absolutely recommend to anybody looking for affordable and quality housing in the Durham/Chapel Hill area!!

Jun 20, 2021

Just moved in and have been having a great time. Everyone is so nice. The community is kept up very well and my dog had so much fun at the dog park.

Jun 20, 2021

Just moved here a few days ago but so far it has been a wonderful experience. Everyone seems very friendly, and the amenities are all easily accessible. It is a very quiet community and I've had no problems so far.

Jun 16, 2021

Very pleasant neighbors, complete silence; nice and clear territory with lots of flowers, bushes and trees; always helpful staff and fast service; wonderful and clean swimming pool with a very new and clean equipment, tables, chairs and hammocks; peaceful and quiet.

May 16, 2021

It’s great here we just moved in and already we are liking the place. We can’t wait for what the next year has to offer. I’m excited to meet our neighbors and go to the pool when it opens.

May 7, 2021

Apr 15, 2021

I love this place! It's a very peaceful and well-kept community. I love how helpful the staff is. You can have a great time here. If there are any issues, they get resolved quickly. My roommate and I are glad to have made the right choice by moving here. The location is perfect - you're only minutes away from a plethora of stores and restaurants! Thanks, Realm - for being a wonderful place to call home! Shoutout to Kendra for making my roommate and I feel right at home. #community #amenities #location #stellar

Realm has been fantastic! The staff is courteous and available to assist in any way needed. The property is well-maintained and our unit is perfect for our needs. It's also great to have local food trucks scheduled regularly to be at the complex!

Awesome place! Some repairs needed to be finished when I moved in but otherwise it’s great! New carpets was a plus. Decent neighbors and very quiet

Feb 2, 2021

Great apartment layouts with new appliances and large balconies! Staff are friendly and communicate updates well about amenities and events, though office staff sometimes forget to respond to requests for information or other assistance via phone call or email. Maintenance has been very quick whenever we have put in requests. Noise has not been an issue either from traffic or neighbors. Great area with quick access to stores, groceries, restaurants, and to both downtown Durham and downtown Chapel Hill!

Jan 29, 2021

I and my husband we are first time at Realm in Patterson Place and we love being here. We like clean grass and nice flowers, fantastic swimming pool and cosy swimming pool area, comfortable clubhouse and clean grill. It’s nice when workers are always very quick and react on our any request. If you look for something quiet and peaceful, especially if you have your pet, this place is the best for living.

Jan 28, 2021

great place to live! Customer service is excellent and the entire complex is very well kept. We absolutely love it here, and would recommend to anyone

Jan 23, 2021

So far it has been good I can't complain but so much I'm very much thankful for the different rules and regulations that is here because it can help save lives of many

Jan 23, 2021

Very good. I had complained about the trash can in the hall on my floor and the next day it was gone. It had been sitting there for quite some time.

Jan 14, 2021

We have really enjoyed our time here. The location is good, and although we haven’t personally been able to use the amenities, they are a great addition to the community.

Jan 14, 2021

Great living here. People seem friendly. I love the landscaping and sidewalks to take a walk. Office staff is friendly. Maintenance staff is friendly. Communication to residents is very open and seems like always something going on to help residents.

Jan 13, 2021

I have enjoyed my experience with Realm Patterson thus far. The staff was very welcoming and is always willing to help. Maintenance is completed promptly, and it's evident that residents are a priority. Great amenities and nice area!

Jan 4, 2021

Well kept and friendly community! Amenities are great, and I appreciate the small things, like valet trash and online rent payments. Only thing that would make it better would be an electric car charging station!

Dec 30, 2020

Nice quiet neborhood friendly clean and love the amenaties also the location and the dog parks the pool and gym also great place to theow a little gathering at the club house and cookout

Apartment has been excellent. Haven't even needed maintenance anywhere! Great location as well as super friendly staff and residents. Plus the amenities have been perfect.

Dec 9, 2020

I've never been more satisfied with apartment living until I moved here. The grounds are always well kept, maintenance is prompt and the office staff is pleasant!

Dec 9, 2020

The only negative thing I would say is that I have 1 neighbor who keeps complaining on me. Even though we have spoken to them and we are not doing anything wrong. Other than that it’s been great!

Dec 9, 2020

Great overall. Beautiful community, friendly service, amazing and huge kitchen, large rooms with nice bathrooms, valet trash is nice but doesn't always come during given times. Gym could use a barbell.

Dec 8, 2020

Love the amenities and community. My only concern is how often the management has changed. I've had no issues but it's something to be aware of.

Dec 7, 2020

Great community, friendly staff, very nice amenities. I recently moved to NC and searched fairly extensively for a good community that wasn’t too pricey. So, when I finally found Realm, I was very relieved and pleased. The apartments are very clean and the community is really well tended to. The staff goes out of their way to make it a pleasant experience for all. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because of something minor not even worth mentioning here. Overall, you’ll love the place.

Nov 21, 2020

I'm loving everything here so far! My apartment is exactly what I wanted and it's the perfect place to unwind after a long day at work. I love how convenient the location is; basically anything I want to do is right around the corner.

Nov 20, 2020

Realm patterson place is a nice place to live. I have been here since March 2020 and haven't had any issues. The staff is good and responsive and the amenities are nice

Nov 16, 2020

I wish things were fixed faster here, particularly the amenities. I also was disappointed when the grocery store right down the road was taken away in my first year here. That was a big plus for me in choosing this place. But otherwise, it’s fairly clean here and quiet, which I appreciate. And I like the proximity to both Durham and CH.

Nov 16, 2020

Moved in this week and so far, so good. It's quiet, clean, and amazing! I'm surprised how efficient the valet trash is and excited to try the car wash on the premises.

Nov 16, 2020

I love this apartment. It has been so calm and peaceful through my stay here. I enjoy the amenities we have here as well as the staff, they have been nice a helpful. I also enjoy the food trucks we get from time to time.

Nov 11, 2020

We are really enjoying living here - keep up the great work! The staff are all courteous, prompt, and very helpful! Amenities are wonderful and units are top notch!

Nov 11, 2020

I love my apartment and the location of Realm Patterson Place is unbeatable. I can get everywhere I need to go in just a few minutes! Conveniently close to everything, but also tucked away in its own little nook of Durham. I love it here!

Nov 11, 2020

Love it! Staff’s ultra friendly, there’s always something to do, maintenance arrives quickly and fixes all issues. Two words: FOOD TRUCKS!!!

Nov 10, 2020

I had just moved in from New Jersey. Massive transition. Came on-site to meet the person who was to show me around. Very accommodating and helpful. Signed my lease that day!

Nov 6, 2020

Moving in has been a pleasure! From the dog treats you gave my dog to the cookies for me and my sister the service has been wonderful! I’m also a college student and the lowered prices and returns for security deposits make life so much easier. I can’t wait to move in :)

Oct 28, 2020

Good and pleasant atmosphere, quiet and peaceful, sweet staff and always helpful, lots of social events, clean and spacious clubhouse, swimming pool and swimming pool area!

So far so good. Minor issues with noise but other than that I like it. We had an issue where someone said we left dog pop bag but it wasn't us we was not home. We had this handled it

Oct 15, 2020

We just signed the paperwork and got the keys, so we haven’t fully moved in yet. However, our experience so far has all been positive! We look forward to our time at Realm!

Oct 12, 2020

Aug 27, 2020

I love it here! The aesthetic of the complex provides me with such positive and Kendra is amazing! I can’t wait to attend more events, enjoy the pool, etc.

Realm has been great so far!The facilities are beautiful and the staff is super helpful and attentive. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming.

Aug 23, 2020

Great place to live and nice leasing staff! Definitely a great place to live while leasing or renting an apartment! Trash-pickup and pet-friendly!

Aug 23, 2020

I have enjoyed living at Realm Patterson Place over the last few years. I enjoy the amenities, including studying at the Club House (pre-COVID). The swimming pool is truly the heart of the community, and it has been nice being able to enjoy that amenity despite our current public health challenges. Even though I do not always participate in the community events, I think offering an event program really elevates the apartment living experience. I'd love some socially distanced yoga or pilates on the lawn while the weather is still nice! Also, I really enjoy how quiet the neighborhood is, glad we do not have any rowdy tenants. I would recommend Lantower communities in the future.

Aug 22, 2020

Amazing place to live! So nice and cleaned up. Its very big and spacious. So many places to walk your dog and they have a dog park for them as well.

Aug 16, 2020

Move in was a breeze. All the appliances were in top notch quality and seemed brand new. Apartment was clean and gave a new home feel. Neighbors are nice, quiet and respectful. Pool area is beautiful and excited to use the gym when it opens.

Aug 13, 2020

So far the moving experience has been great. While moving in, one of the rooms needed its carpet redone and they came in and a did it immediately. The leasing office staff is also extremely nice!

Aug 13, 2020

Staff is extremely friendly and the grounds are beautiful. The location to shopping/dining is also a plus. I just moved in, but I have to say I am loving my experience so far!

Jul 17, 2020

The apartment was so clean when we got here and everyone working here was so helpful as we moved in. It’s a great location and great amenities.

Jul 5, 2020

Beautiful scenery surrounding the location and wonderful amenities. Just the few days spent here have been some of the best in recent years. Absolutely in love

Jul 5, 2020

We are so excited to join this great community. The leasing office is very considerate and thoughtful in helping us settling down. We love our apartment so much, and also the parks and trails nearby and the convenient shopping options.

Our screened porch is a real bonus that we are enjoying already. The employees are very nice and helpful. Looking forward to meeting neighbors now that the warmer weather is here. Margaret S

Apr 1, 2020

Love the vibes! Down to earth elegance. My Goddaughter and I are able to build a home around people who are kind. Can not wait to utilize some additional amenities this spring and summer!

Mar 12, 2020

My experience with the Realm at Patterson Place thus far has been a great experience. I had been working with Odily for about a month trying to coordinate my move in date due to a hectic work schedule and she was very helpful and patient. She was always professional and friendly every time we spoke, she always followed up when she said she would and I appreciate all her help and hard work. Also the community is beautiful and very peaceful!!!

Mar 12, 2020

Just moved in but the apartments are absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The amenities are great and the front office workers were extremely nice and welcoming. This really feels like home!

Jan 26, 2020

I had to relocate from SC for a new job in a city where I didn't know anyone. From the first call with Kendra, I knew Realm at Patterson Place was at the top of my list. Wonderful community with friendly neighbors! Can't recommend it enough!

Dec 16, 2019

Been living here for a couple months and I love it! Grounds are kept extremely clean as well as the clubhouse. In regards to the apartment itself, it is beautiful and the appliances are nice.

Dec 16, 2019

Lived here previously and just moved back! It’s like moving back home!!!! Love the environment and vibe, and is nice to see after a few years some familiar faces in the community.

Dec 8, 2019

Living here has been incredible thus far! A great location, well-maintained amenities, and fantastic office staff. I would recommend Realm to all of my friends.

Nov 27, 2019

My experience has been mostly good. I DO wish people in our building were a bit friendlier. I realtor appreciate the quick response of maintenance when needed.

Nov 26, 2019

I relocated to Durham about a year ago now and was a little nervous because it would be my first time living alone since college. Realm made the transition so smooth and I cant imagine living anywhere else!

Nov 12, 2019

Realm Paterson Place is an excellent community with comfortable apartments and useful amenities. The staff is friendly and maintenance is highly responsive when needed.

Oct 17, 2019

I love it here!! We’ve been here for several years now and are so happy we chose Realm! The grounds are always kept clean and the amenities are above average!

Oct 17, 2019

I would’ve given them a 5 star but didn’t like the fact that pool was closed a month before the end of Summer and still closed now on Oct 16

Oct 16, 2019

Realm is in a great location! The office team is friendly & professional! The amenities are nice! Most importantly, the apartment homes are beautiful, spacious, & modern!

Sep 26, 2019

Love our apartment community! Management could work on fixing this a little faster (printer, dog park water!) but overall they are very good and always very nice!

Sep 19, 2019

So far everything has been great. There was some initial frustrations at the beginning but it’s been ok since. Some of the front desk staff are kind of frustrating but overall I love living here.

Sep 17, 2019

Realm at Patterson Place is in an ideal location for families split between commutes to Duke and UNC. Staff is friendly, and events hosted by the CARES team are an excellent opportunity to meet fellow residents.

Sep 14, 2019

Outstanding. It is just what I was looking for. The workout room the pool are clean and beautiful. The common room has everything I would want. In moving in all the residence we're very helpful and friendly Neighbors. I could not ask for more.

Sep 13, 2019

The staff is very nice and they make every resident feel special. Amenities are great. There are monthly programs to bring the community together.

Sep 11, 2019

So far, everything is great. The only issue is maintenance. It’s not your fault for only having one worker, but more communication with the maintenance workers about who needs maintenance and when would be appreciated. Other than that, it’s a beautiful community and a lovely environment.

Sep 9, 2019

Move in was made to be a breeze with Kendra’s help along with the other leasing agents. The various small things that needed to be fixed like shelves in cabinets were felt with very quickly after putting in tickets. I have appreciated this community so much already!

Aug 27, 2019

So far everyone has been so helpful and pleasant to speak to! I am moving from out of state and the staff at Realm could not have been better!

Aug 15, 2019

Excellent community, fantastic amenities, and the most helpful staff! The complex is always clean and our dog loves the park! It’s in a great location and is close to everything you could need!

Aug 9, 2019

I have only lived here for a week, but I already love it so far! The apartment is very modern and spacious. You definitely get what you are paying for.

Aug 8, 2019

My husband and I have lived in the community going on five years now. During year two, we got a dog. We adore the dog community (the dogs and their owners) and we couldn’t be happier with the greater community that is Realm.

Aug 1, 2019

Went through a few management changes but the team they have now is great. Takes a little longer to answer through the portal but eventually gets answered. Maintenance team is fantastic.

Jul 31, 2019

I really like my experience here. I think that it is a great location and great amenities. I feel like I am at a resort all the time. The design is amazing!

Jul 31, 2019

I’ve been living at the Realm for about 6 months, and I honestly can’t think of one bad thing to say. The apartments are beautiful, amenities are nice, I love the monthly residential programs, communication is great, and it’s a quiet neighborhood, but near everything you could need. My only complaint is that we have very loud upstairs neighbors, but that’s not the complex’s fault.

Jul 29, 2019

Recently moved in and everything was super easy. Great amenities and the place was perfect upon arrival. Looking forward to enjoying our new home!

Jul 29, 2019

Nice amenities and the garbage pick up is convenient. The business center printer has also come in handy many times. It is nice and quiet here.

Jul 23, 2019

Amazing neighborhood, clean complex, beautiful landscaping. Maintenance is prompt and friendly. I have lived here for close to three years and I have love the close proximity to shopping centers in durham and chapel hill.

Jul 22, 2019

The move in process went very smoothly and all the staff that we talked with were very courteous! We were happy for the good value on the rent for our apartment and that we were able to get a deal on the application fees because of the 4th of July and the 1000 off of rent. Those 2 things really pushed us to make the decision to live here. The room is spacious and love the black appliances!

Jul 22, 2019

Thanks, Kendra is the best. The application process was pretty easy and we had do many tools to pay the first month of rent and application.

Jul 22, 2019

Sound environment, convenient location. Management people are friendly. Sometimes door key doesn't work quickly, but it's a small issue. A lot of switches in the room, but I don't know how everything works.

Jul 21, 2019

Friendly leasing agents who make the renting process easy. Clean and updated apartments, continent location with great rates and floor plans. Amenities building is amazing

Jul 21, 2019

Jul 19, 2019

Realm is always friendly, quick to respond, and accommodating for all my needs. I have been living here for almost 2 years and I have never had a problem with any service they have provided.

Jul 18, 2019

I really like living here! The main attraction is the spacious rooms and the awesome pool area. I love the interior design as well. The management has been rewarding for me, as I have always been assisted when I have come into the office. Currently, there is a new manager, but if she is anything like Melissa, then I know she will be great!

Jul 17, 2019

Great experience living in this community with all the amenities. Community events are also very nice and great socializing with other neighbors.

Jul 17, 2019

It’s been a great experience thus far! Very dog friendly, amenities have been great as well. Looking forward to spending more time at this apartment.

Jul 12, 2019

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this community. I’ve only lived here a short time, but no place has ever felt more like home. I LOVE the island in my one bedroom unit, my cat LOVES the screened in porch, and soaking in my garden tub at the end of the day? Just the cherry on top. I have never met a leasing staff more intent on making sure their residents have the best experience possible. I never want to leave!
