A furnished apartment at 501 Estates, for a month or more

501 Estates takes its name from US‑501, the Durham–Chapel Hill Boulevard, which puts it between Duke and UNC with the Southpoint and South Square shopping a few minutes away. A Stay Furnished home here comes ready before you arrive: furniture, a stocked kitchen, linens and towels, washer and dryer in the unit, and the utilities, high-speed Wi‑Fi and TV already on and billed through us on one invoice. The community's pool, fitness center and parking come with it. Stays start at 30 nights and extend month to month.

Who stays here

The 501 corridor is the address for anyone whose work spans both universities: clinicians and researchers splitting time between Duke University Hospital and UNC Hospitals, visiting faculty, and pharma and biotech staff at Research Triangle Park who want Chapel Hill's restaurants on the weekend. Relocating families use it to test both school districts before they buy. Duke is about 10 minutes; UNC 15; RTP 15–20. Tell us the department or the office and we'll confirm what's possible at 501 Estates or match you to a comparable Durham community.
