Icon Downtown Durham is an updated historic apartment community located within walking distance of Duke University and Downtown Durham! We offer a variety of upgraded apartments, some still retain their original charm with real hardwood/parquet floors, large windows and 9' ceilings. Many of our floor plans include washers, dryers and dishwashers! For years we've been the preferred choice for Duke affiliates due to our location, price and range of floorplan options. Best of all, you don't necessarily need a car as we are on the University transit line.
Our community features many amenities including a pool, dog park, fitness center, gazebos, grills, picnic tables, upgraded units, laundry facility, 24 hour emergency maintenance and management onsite.
*Short-term leases are available for an additional fee
