Easily the worst apartment complex I have ever lived in. Non- existent sound proofing, so you can expect to hear your neighbors at all times. Extremely limited visitor parking- maybe 8-10 spots for the entire complex. Complex reeks of marijuana regularly, and in the summer months there was an infestation of millipede like bugs in my apartment. Lastly, I was charged nearly $500 after move out for "carpet damage" after an assessment by some sketchy carpet cleaning service.
Please save yourself the trouble and frustration and do not lease here.

This place is so beautiful in a great location near I-40! Plenty of parking, amazing free coffee & kombucha, and fun resident events throughout the month!

I toured here a year ago before going with a different property and once again a few weeks ago. This time I will be moving into Kelby’s beautiful property! While the charm of the property is unchanged I very much enjoyed and appreciated the help while touring with both leasing office staffs. I understand there is new management, but I could not be more pleased from my second tour. I felt that they were extremely helpful answering all my questions, and they have been amazing through the application process thus far going above and beyond in all the ways I needed!
I’m also looking forward to all the fun community events I have heard about from friends living there currently!

Kelby Farms is amazing!! The office staff is so welcoming and always willing to help with whatever I need. The amenities are top notch and the clubhouse is gorgeous. There’s games, a beautiful patio overlooking the pool, and a bunch of cozy little nooks to hole up with a book when I just need a change of scenery. Also, coffee :D
I work from home most of the time, and the business center has been a game changer for me. The individual workstations give me a space to lock in and focus when I need it, and the conference rooms are perfect for video meetings. I highly recommend!!

The initial experience was good, but with the arrival of the new management, everything fell apart. For unknown reasons, the entire staff was suddenly laid off, without prior notice to the residents. One day everyone was there, and the next, they were gone.
This caused a series of problems: the previous payment system disappeared along with the previous management, and now we have to pay with money orders or checks, which is quite annoying. Trash collection has worsened noticeably, and according to what people who still live there tell me, it's still the same or even worse. The recycling area is a complete mess, with trash piling up.
In addition, the insect infestation is real. I don't know where so many earthworms came from, but they were everywhere in the house, both large and small. The only good thing about the winter was that they disappeared, but as soon as winter ended, they returned.
This is definitely far from a "luxury" experience. For the price, it's ok, but nothing more. There are better options in Chapel Hill and downtown Durham.
