I had such an excellent experience at Avalon Communities in Durham that I wanted to take the time and give a big shout out to the leading department! Specifically, I want to give a special thank you to Paula F, the leading agent at the property. Paula was incredibly informative and helpful throughout the entire apartment visit and leasing process. She was quick to respond to all my questions , making everything go very smoothly. Her positive and friendly nature made it a real pleasure to work with her, and Paula’s professionalism really stood out. I highly recommend Avalon Communities, especially if you're lucky enough to have Paula as your agent!

I have loved living in Avalon so far! The building is spacious and chic, the amenities are brand-new, and and the support team couldn't be friendlier and more competent. David and Heather have been a pleasure to work with and have been very attentive and easily reachable with any issues I have encountered.

It has not been an easy transition for me to move away from home. I miss my family and friends. Fortunately for me, I found Avalon. It's a beautiful place to live. I'm slowly building a home here. And the leasing process went very smoothly thanks to Heather Mariscal. She's incredibly knowledgeable and professional. You're very lucky to have her. Thank you, Heather!!!
