Great Location

Management is great. A safe place. Lighting indoors isn't the best. The pool is great in the summer.

S9 is decent

Lots of MBAs here. Place is nice enough. If I had a partner here in Durham I might opt for a little nicer place.

Great Management and Social Experience

The management is friendly, after a month or two they know your name, your apartment number and make you feel very welcome. They're also FAST. They are prompt with packages, sorting out logistics when you first move in, and reply within an hour or two for every email I've ever sent them. The major downside to this is that outside of business hours, there is no way to reach them.

In terms of Social activity, there is really no better place to the center of MBA life. Events, team meetings, parties, pre-games, and random encounters (building little friendships and face recognition) are the better here than anywhere else.

It's fine.

My apt is comfortable and functional but it is not fancy and expensive for what it is

Best location

It has been great living here! I live in a top floor apt with a loft and the double ceiling makes the whole difference it gives you the sense of so much space.
The ammenities at S9 could be improved to more modern ones but nothing beats the location.

Older complex, rent high, and noisy - but convenient and social

Station Nine has been...fine. I've never had a problem with management, who have always responded to my inquiries and issues quickly and respectfully, and recognize me when I go to pick up a package. It's convenient to Harris Teeter and the Ninth Street shops and restaurants, and easy to catch a ride to school on the shuttle or with a classmate (if your classmates haven't all moved away). But it's not luxury living, and that's certainly the price they are charging. If you are bothered by noisy neighbors or social events, this is NOT the place for you, though security is used to handling complaints (Pro? Con?). The pool is fine, gym is small, other amenities unreliable...

Paying for the Social Aspect

The only reason I'm paying $1220 a month for a 1BR in Durham is for the social aspect. Apartment is nice enough, but everything is average and if I weren't in business school I could get something similar for $600/month on my own.

Very Average

Filthy common areas. Lots of noise, from footsteps to parties. Packages get taken. Central location tho. Side by parizade gets noise from restaurants.

Fuqua Dorm

This was described to me as the Fuqua Dorm because a majority of my classmates lived here. That's about the only appeal over other apartment complexes. It was great having other students in the building, but if people are starting to move elsewhere then S9 loses all value as a complex.

Station Nine

This probably one of the most social places for students, with many Fuquans living here. It's walking distance from Harris Teeter, and a short drive from school and nearby fastfood. Being walking distance from Tavern, enables a little after school drinks at Tavern on Tuesdays. If you are looking for a big gym or pool however, this may not be the most ideal.

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.
