Berkshire Main Street reviews and highlights
- excellent building amenities and beautiful facilities
- plenty of parking available
- close to center of social life
- one of the best gyms of any complex in the area
- pricey compared to similar buildings in the area
Nice finishes and space to live, management sometimes slow
Overall, I like living in Bmain. I have not had any bugs (roaches) in my apartment, which is on the 2nd floor; I would suggest not living on the ground level, as that seems to be worse wrt roaches. The common spaces are lovely. Printing is somewhat frustrating, as they use an outside vendor and if there is no paper on a weekend, you have to wait until the next week to hopefully have paper. Walls are thin, as is the case in any newer building in my experience. Packages easy to pick up and food delivery never an issue. DO NOT live on the side facing the train. I live in the original building, parallel to the train tracks, not facing the train, and I think it's generally brighter/nicer than the other, larger building. I seem to have taller ceilings than than units in the other building as well.

Berkshire Main Review
We like living here. Building management is very responsive and friendly. The apartments are spacious and modern looking. I can walk to Fuqua in about 30 minutes. The apartment life team does a great job organizing social events about 2x per month. I think Berkshire Main has one of the better common spaces compared to other buildings in the 9th street area. There are some things to be aware of: the surrounding grounds of the building appear to be a breeding area for cockroaches that enter your apartment from time to time, the train is very loud so you will not want to live near the intersection of Main and 15th street, and there has been a recent influx of undergrad students that occasionally are loud late at night.

Average Apt - overpriced
This apartment knows that they have business from students and therefore charges more than rent should be in Durham, NC. The management never wants to take responsibility for anything that happens in the apartment. The apartments are spacious and there is light depending on which side of the building you are on, but it is also right next to an active train and has pest control problems. Its not a terrible apartment but I would recommend living elsewhere.

Nice amenities but be prepared for nickel and diming
The apartment building is great- I have no complaints about the gym, pool, facilities, and location. The apartments are nice and so are the amenities. But the management will nickel and dime you for everything, so be prepared to pay a lot in fees for anything that's not explicitly in the lease (an extra key fob, leaving packages in the locker for too long, adding someone to the lease, subletting, you name it...)

Overpriced
The complex buildings by 9th st are overpriced and the quality is terrible. Once you signed you can be considered ignored. They seem they care but they don't if I have to do it all over again I will never live in Bmain. We had a roaches problem and management took over a year to resolve it. The only real benefits of these buildings is that are close to Duke.

Amazing place with some minor issues
It is the best apartment building (infrastructure and amenities-wise) in the 9th street area. However, it does come with some minor issues:
1) It's a couple of blocks from the rest of the 9th street buildings, but the area is very walkable
2) Beware of the apartments that are close to the train tracks, the train noise can be very uncomfortable
3) There were some issues with cockroaches and fire alarms going off this year

Nice Apartment but Unimpressed by Management
The apartment is much nicer than any walk up I lived in in NYC, but the management company won’t take responsibility for some very real problems we’ve had here. The building was overrun by roaches earlier this year (I probably saw one in my apartment per day at the height of it). We also have had fire alarm problems that remain unresolved. It’s pretty ridiculous.

Great Place to Live with a Pet
This is a very dog-friendly community. Management and maintenance staff are very friendly and responsive. The apartments are just a few years old and in great condition. Beware of the train that runs along Main Street as it can be loud at night. If you live towards the back of the building, you can hardly hear the train. The apartment is a short walk to campus, especially to the Duke Gardens.

You can get to the school by bus (45 mi) or by car (10 min). Carpooling is very commom.
