Specific employees are nice, but the management of the building as a whole is poor. Undergrads and greek life have taken over the building, with garbage and spilled drinks all over the elevators. The garbage rooms are perpetually full and management will fine you for the slightest thing. The amenities are nice but are often broken.

The main advantage of living in Berkshire Ninth Street is the proximity to other students (in this building, Station Nine next door, Berkshire Main closeby, and 810 close by). It is a luxury building so the amenities are a perk and the apartment itself is nice. It is more expensive than other apartments and housing options you would find in Durham. There are places walking distance, but getting downtown is a longer walk or short drive. This year (due to COVID) more undergrads are living in the building so it's been noisier

No complaints. Nice facilities, new apartments

It is silent and really close to Harris Teeter. (This will depend on the location of your apartment.) If you have a patio or a balcony, you can enjoy life outside. However, you should be aware of the exposure of sunlight when you live in the studio with a patio.

I have been here for about 4 months, and it has been a wonderful experience thus far. I was able to seamlessly move in and set up my utilities with the help of the Leasing office, and it has been responsive to any other issues I have had so far. I would definitely recommend living at B9!

We picked B9 for its location mainly to be close to fellow graduate students. But now being in Durham, I think we could have benefitted from a cost perspective and space by exploring a few more options off the beaten path to have more space and pay less in rent. Overall, I enjoy the amenities at B9 (gym, pool) but have had issues with the bike storage (my back wheel went missing during a management movement of my bike and nothing has been done about it). The actual apartment, parking, amenities, etc, are awesome, and I love being so close to Harris Teeter, 9th Street, and Downtown, but the management has been rough.

Great place to live but there are a few problems

Living at B9. Very good overall. Decent value if coming from a big city pre-Fuqua like myself (NYC). A bit pricey for the Durham area, but again, not expensive compared to something like a NY, Bay Area, Boston, DC, etc. Nice building, good amenities. Close to all other Fuqua MBA's, Ninth St commercial district, and Duke bus lines to campus (you do NOT need a car, campus is a mile down the road and an easy walk and Duke buses are perfectly reliable and quick, carpooling is a very easy option too). Management of building can occasionally be a bit difficult to deal with, you just have to be firm with them and won't have any issues. Otherwise no complaints.

1) Property Managers were unfair and unreasonable. I had signed a 2-year contract with them because one of the graduate student addendums said that I would only need to pay half the rent during the summer months (i.e., May to August) because I would be out of state during my internship. Due to COVID, they took advantage of this difficult situation and nullified this addendum, making all graduate students pay full rent for the summer months giving us unethical and unjust reasons as to why they can.

2) Moving out of this apartment has not been smooth. The property manager is always "out-of-office" without giving me notice when we are negotiating time-sensitive topics. It has been a very disorganized process on their end.

3) The floors are very thin and therefore, I hear every footstep that my neighbor above makes. This has oftentimes affected my sleep and health.

Overall, the apartment itself, the amenities, and the location are all fine but the property managers make me not want to recommend this apartment complex to anyone.

I really love my B9 apartment, it is spacious, comfortable, full of light, and has the largest kitchen of any apartment I've ever lived in. One negative to the apartment is that the walls are somewhat thin.

However, the B9 managment has so severely degraded my experience at B9 that I cannot recommend this community to anyone.
