Paying for the convenience

Pros:

-Spacious, clean, and new space. Good amenities--pool, gym, etc.

-Responsive building management has always gotten back to me within the day to address issues.

-Location is ideal, right by Harris Teeter for grocery, variety of dining options on 9th St, and good for socializing as many other Duke grad students live in the area.

Cons:

-Cost. Rent in most of the 9th St apartments is about twice the rate of similar spaces around Durham. You could rent an entire house with what we pay for a 2BD/2BA. You are also forced to pay for valet trash ($35/month) with strict rules that can leave you with occasional fines.

-S9 is right by the train tracks and you can hear loud train whistles throughout the day and night. I've adjusted somewhat by having a very loud white noise machine on at night but am still woken up occasionally in the early morning hours. There also seems to be constant noise from landscaping happening in the meditation garden/courtyard. Maybe less of a problem if I had fewer Zoom classes during the day but for now it's very disruptive, if I'm unmuted others on the call will hear the train and landscaping noises come through.

Okay

Cockroach problem, spotty internet, and annoying requirements for trash pickup. Otherwise it does the job and the apartments are fine amenity-wise. On-site free maintenance staff is also super helpful and prompt with resolving issues!

I love living here!

The apartment is well-situated right by Ninth Street, which has restaurants, a few bars, some cool stores, and a Harris Teeter. The apartment is really big and my only issue with it is the cement floor (ew.)

The room I live in is a 1B1B loft. So it’s very spacious.

It’s quite safe and it’s near the Ninth street. It’s super close to Harris Teeter, just 5 min walk.

Best complex I’ve lived at

I can’t explain how great living at S9 is. The apartments are super spacious, the location is perfect, the lease terms are flexible without increasing prices and the facilities are very nice. But I’d have to say that my favorite thing so far has been the leasing office. They truly make you feel at home since day one. The process was extremely quick and to the point. They host so many activities, food trucks, giveaways and free lunches. They make me love living here.

Nice Apartment for Students

Overall, very happy with apartment - community is clean and has nice amenities, noise isn't an issue, and leasing office/workers are all great. Only complaints would be they do not accept outgoing packages (even with a label- you have to drive them to UPS/FedEx even though they come everyday) and there are some unnecessary mandatory fees ($30 for trash collection that has ridiculous rules and $35 for eh internet). But- the apartment itself has been very nice, amenities (pool, gym, coffee) are always in perfect condition, and someone is always there to respond to questions almost instantly, and you're extremely close to Harris Teeter and restaurants on 9th street. Has been a great community to live in.

S9 is for those who don't mind noise...

Best place if you're single and have no children. S9 is the "frat house" of all the 9th st apartments - it has the most number of Fuquans and the best/most frequent pool parties (when it's warm out). Wine around the world always happens in S9, so needless to say, it gets pretty loud sometimes. That being said, the units themselves are nice and updated, the gym is awesome, and there's pretty decent free food events here. My unit faces the meditation garden and I like it just fine. I can hear the train but it's not nearly as loud as if I were to live in BMain.

Ninth Street Reviews

264 reviews
Neighborhood has been great. Haven't been commuting to school all that frequently for obvious reasons, but takes less than 10 minutes to do so. I can grab everything I need and meet with friends all within walking distance. Durham could use more street lights in general, but in terms of safety, I think 9th street is your best option!
Best place to live hands down. Next to the supermarket, so many food options and many complexes in the area. Near downtown and Duke. Great if you’re new in town because it is super safe. Perfect if you have a car because the only downside is that depending on what Duke school you’re in it might not be walking distance.
Ninth Street is super walkable and majority of Fuquans live in the area. Definitely worth it to pay a little more to live in walking distance of so many classmates. Plus the restaurants on Ninth Street are great, and a short walk (~3 mins) to East Campus to use the walking trail!
Everything is close: other complexes like S9, B9; bars like flying bull, the tavern, supermarkets like Harris Teeter or Whole Foods, East campus hiking route.

You can get to the school by bus (45 mi) or by car (10 min). Carpooling is very commom.
Neighborhood is fine. All the Duke grad students live in the same area so it makes for a pleasant student community, and there are some decent restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance.
Harris Teeter and Whole Foods are right nearby, and the area feels generally safe. 5 min from the highway if you need to drive outside of Durham. ~10 min to get to the WaDuke/Science Drive.
The 9th St. neighborhood is great because it is within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants on 9th St. It could be better if it were closer to Fuqua and/or downtown Durham.
All the restaurants around the 9th street area are within 5 mins walk from the complex. The campus is an 8-10 minute drive. Downtown Durham is also an 8-10 minute drive away.
