Apartment hunting around the triangle

0 Upvotes

Hello r/triangle folks! I'm headed down to the triangle for a new job in December and hoping to get some opinions on apartment complexes OR learn if anyone knows how to find a home for rent by owner- please share!

I am planning to check out:

  1. Avalon Perimeter Park

  2. District Station

  3. Elevate Brier Creek

  4. Sinclair Cary

My main concern is roaches.

I have been in the trenches fighting German roaches in my current work place and very concerned about possible infestations in large apartment complexes. PLEASE share if you know of any compromised buildings or otherwise red flags.

I was able to tour NOVEL Morrisville and Broadstone Trailside, but didn't love them. I'm pretty introverted and can't imagine using all the amenities like co-working space or a clubhouse. If there are any other good suggestions in a <30 min commutable distance for a 1 or 2 bedroom under $1800/mo I am grateful for any and all input!

FRBO is the dream:

The last time I moved for work I got really lucky and lived on the second floor of a house for rent by the owner. I really liked this setup and would love to rent from the owner or a small property management company again. If anyone has a reputable source for this besides Zillow, I would be happy to hear from you! I am a single person with no pets (allergies) and very clean (positive letter of reference from my previous landlord).

Thank you in advance! This subreddit seems very friendly and gives me some reassurance about relocating to a nice community!

Hi everyone,

My name is Christina Holloway and I am a Suzuki-trained violin and viola teacher based in Durham. I also gig in the area and have music on most streaming platforms under the name Cardinal Christy. I just wanted to share that I am currently looking to expand my music studio and am taking new students!

I teach beginner and intermediate violin, viola, piano, and voice. I also teach clawhammer banjo. I teach all ages from children 5 and up to adults. If you are interested in scheduling a first lesson, please reach out to me via my website (https://cardinalchristymusicstudio.com) or by directly emailing me at [cardinalchrisart@gmail.com](mailto:cardinalchrisart@gmail.com)

You can also check out my instagram cardinalchristy where I regularly post banjo and violin/viola videos.

Thanks so much, I look forward to hearing from you!

WASP Auto repair - my recent experience

41 Upvotes

Service advisor recommended suspension work, due to dry rot on some boots could allow further damage. He then showed me a VIDEO of a dry rotted boot that was opening up when turning, and presumably let grease out and contaminants in. Seemed like a solid recommendation to me.

Based on some other aspects of the visit however, I got a second opinion, and was allowed under my car when it was on the lift. You could see clear as day that everything was fine with boots (and bushings), and no work was required.

About a $1,300 quote.

I was driving to work this morning and I looked in the sky and saw this object moving pretty fast in the sky. I originally saw it on South Miami and TW Alexander. The pictures were taking at the light getting on southbound of 840 on TW Alexander. The time stamps are 6:40am-6:41am. Please excuse some blurriness.

Pickup basketball/pickleball

1 Upvotes

I know there probably isn’t a huge overlap of players of these sports….but just moved to the area and looking for good pickup games in Cary (where I work) or chapel hill/durham (where living).

Fairly novice but athletic with pickleball and prefer singles play.

Former small college ball in hoops but now old (47) and just looking for some decent runs but really anything works at this point …pretty much a y all star now.

Divorce Lawyer in Raleigh/Wake County

7 Upvotes

I have a complex family law case. I have a cheating abusive husband, a 24 year old disabled sick daughter, and I have been financially dependent on my husband for 10 years with no way to work, since I am my daughters full time caretaker. We were married 30+ years. I need an attorney that works with unequal distribution, mediation, and alimony. I need one that will fight for me and my daughter that won't back down so we don't lose our house or alimony. I have been burned by 2 attorneys so far that took what little I had and screwed me over. They didn't provide any service for the money. I've paid over 15k total and gotten no where. I don't have alot of money left due to the fact I can't work and only have the small amount he pays me for the mortgage. I want to stay out of court, as I can't afford it but could end up there. My husbands attorney is Shea Maliszewski. I am in desperate need of any lawyer referrals in the Raleigh or Wake County area. Please let me know if anyone knows of any or has personally had any good experiences with any. My mediation is in a few days. Thanks.

A tiny kitten survived I-540 in Wake County. The deputy who rescued her kept following her story

I reported this story for The News & Observer after seeing the SPCA/Wake Sheriff post.

Willow was about 4 weeks old when Deputy Devin Richardson spotted her running on I-540. He wasn’t sure he had missed her, pulled over and ran back.

I spoke with Richardson and traced what happened to her afterward through the Wake County Animal Center and SPCA Wake.

RDU airport parking

1 Upvotes

Newbie to the triangle area and need to fly out from RDU for 5 days. What are some good parking options? Don't want to do Uber/Lyft. Are ParkRDU Express at the airport or offsite Fast Park & Relax pretty secure and reliable? May be getting a very early flight so need to be at the airport no later than 5:30am and would like reliable shuttle services.

DURHAM: Folks that are hosting free community events in Durham, where do publicize (online or IRL)?

8 Upvotes

I'm hosting a few free community events in November & December - a free graphic tee swap and a nighttime listening party of Dark Side of the Moon in the park. I'm looking for places to share this to the Durham community specifically, not the whole ass triangle. I really doubt people will drive all the way across town for a few free graphic tees or listen to Pink Floyd lol

Anyway, the bullcity reddit unfortunately deletes community event posts so that's a no-go. I already posted the graphic tee swap to Bull City Shares on Facebook. Any other community oriented online spaces good for this kind of stuff? Are the neighborhood listservs still active or did nextdoor eat all those up? Do yall get good responses putting up physical flyers around town at places like Central Park)? Any bars have good community boards for flyers?

These aren't HUGE events so I don't want to blast to the larger Downtown Durham FB groups that have 25,000 people, but I'd love to get word out to specific niche of folks that would be into small free community events.

I also organize the pie in the park event on 3/14, so it would be great to know what is working for folks doing these kinds of events.

I built an app to help people with mobility issues in Wake County find safer routes to their destination. Seeking feedback.

29 Upvotes

I'm a high school student, and I built PathWalk (pathwalk.app), a free web app that finds the safest walking or wheelchair route rather than the fastest. It's for people with mobility issues, primarily those who use wheelchairs, walkers, or canes in Wake County, NC.

What it does

  • Routes around missing sidewalks, risky crossings, steep slopes, steps, missing curb ramps and pedestrian crash hotspots
  • Builds routes for a mobility profile (manual or power wheelchair, walker, or custom limits) and gives each route a safety score
  • Turn-by-turn voice navigation, rest stops along the route, and crowdsourced hazard reports
  • You can even simulate a walk to preview a route

PathWalk currently only covers Wake County, but anyone can try it: enter a start and destination within Wake County (a few suggested places pop up when you tap the From or To box), then press "Simulate walk."

I want to expand PathWalk to other counties, then all of North Carolina, and even the whole country if possible, so please let me know what you think. Brutal honesty is welcome.

(sorry, theres no audio in the video...)

Quick demo of the website. Use on mobile for most access to features.

Seeking Local Jazz Band

7 Upvotes

Hi there!

I work in property Management - we are seeking a local jazz band or artist for live music to be played at our next resident event this November!

We have a smaller property and event budget so any one willing to recommend or connect about pricing and budgeting would be great - the event would be like a social happy hour with Residents mingling and you playing - it would also be a great chance to co-mingle or promote services if you do provide private event or venue gigs.

Any and all suggestions welcomed!
