Good property/unit and responsive, friendly staff. Relatively quiet in my area.

So far, I've enjoyed my experience at Station Nine. That said, it is not without its faults. Many of the units, including my own, have either no cell service or horrible cell service depending on who your provider is (I have Verizon). Additionally, the wifi can be unreliable, and people often end up needing to buy a router or some other wifi unit to keep the wifi stable. Overall though, I recommend it for any students going to school in the area.

I like living in Station Nine for the location. Most of my friends live in the apartment (I have a friend across the hall and almost next door) and it is nice to go to the pool and gym and see people that I know. The apartment is rather large - over 800 sq ft for a one-bedroom one-bathroom apartment. That said, the hallways are outdoors and that can drive the cost of heating/cooling up. Also, the walls are fairly thin so you can hear your neighbors and people in the halls. The leasing agents are great and maintenance responds quickly to any concerns. Overall, it is fine for 2 years, particularly if you are single or a couple with no kids.

Overall good place to live, close to 9th street and in the area most Fuqua students live in. Parking included for those with cars and close to Duke shuttle for those who don't drive.

I love living at Station Nine. I think the apartments are spacious and nice and the amenities are good as well (gym/pool). The location is the primary draw in my opinion. You are so close to 9th Street and majority of the MBA program lives in this area. There are even nicer and more newly renovated apartment complexes that have incredible facilities, and that is the only reason I am not ranking S9 as high as possible.

Management team is very good and efficient, but there are a few drawbacks: 1. internet is petty bad during peak time; 2. generally, it is overpriced.

Good choice for new to Durham and looking for friends!

Station 9 is a great apartment complex. The management staff are extremely easy to work with and go out of their way to make sure their residents are happy. The maintenance staff are very responsive. The units are newly renovated, and are generously sized. The building feels very secure. The amenities include a gym, pool, grill area, dog run, and free covered parking. A car or a bike is recommended to get to Fuqua, but it is possible to live here without a car if you are able to carpool. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants on 9th St, and right across the street from the grocery store.

Pros:

They are very chill if you throw parties/events

Gym, pool and club house are great

People that work here are very nice

Maintenance responds very fast

Cons:

Apartments are overpriced imo.

You can hear everything your neighbors do.

Apartments “look” good with the renovation, but they are still “cheap apartments”

Overall would recommend if you want to have pregames, people over often. The other apartments in the area are not open to that. If you don’t care about that, the other apartments are way nicer and newer and around the same price.

Ps. Don’t fall for the 2 year lease, get a one year and then you can get another month or two free when you renew through their renewal specials

Also! Avoid first floors. They are concrete throughout, have cracks and they can flood during heavy rain. (Which is why they keep them as concrete, easy to dry)

Great location if you want to be close to fellow classmates. Leasing office is great and easy to work with. Pool, dog run, and gym.
