Fine

Am now in my third year living here mostly because of the convenience of not moving. Pest issues have definitely gotten better over the years. However, this year they implemented many "upgrades" which have taken so long without any communication ahead of time. They seem to be done now so maybe future residents won't be impacted.

good not great

roaches sometimes
concierge garbage can be convenient but also gross if it stinks up the hall
see which apartment you’re living in it might be down several long hallways like a maze
near harris teeter and whole foods

Berk main

I think Berkshire Main Street is a great place to live. It is very close to the medical school and the bus comes right over so I barely have to drive during the week. The facilities are a bit older with early 2000s color scheme but the apartments are very large with wooden floors and carpeted rooms. I really like my experience here! There is not a lot of sunlight that comes into my apartment though.

Would Recommend

I love living here! It’s walkable to the main Duke hospital or I can take the bus for free if the weather is bad. The staff are great too.

Berkshire Main Street

Apartments and amenities (pool, gym, study areas) are excellent. Maintenance issues within apartments are addressed quickly. Complex is walking distance to campus. Management is, however, slow to respond to issues with common areas (for example, a flooring issue in a common area and broken garage gates have taken months to fix).

Walkable and social

I have really enjoyed living here! It takes about 14 minutes to walk to TSCHE, or the bus stop is literally right outside so it couldn’t be more convenient. Also super close to 9th street/harris teeter which is so nice. Lots of people live here which is fun socially, plus proximity to a lot of other popular buildings, easy to walk to see friends.

Great apartment, quiet and nice building.

Love the common areas. Not a lot of people around so it’s very private. Pick an apartment on the other side of the train and you won’t hear it.

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!
Reviewed by Fuqua MMS Student living at Station Nine
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
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!
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
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.
