Showing 8 highest rated

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!
