Nicest apartment I’ve ever lived in. Management is sub-par (not very helpful or responsive) but the quality of apartment makes it worth it.

The apartment itself is pretty decent. I haven’t had any serious problems with plumbing, appliances, etc. Considering there are a lot of Duke students, the building is pretty quiet all hours of the day. Having the parking ramp right outside your apartment is awesome. Very convenient to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, etc.

My main issues have been with the management. They are slow to respond to issues - for example, I was charged for additional storage units that I didn’t rent for a number of months. They eventually fixed the problem, but it was frustrating nonetheless. As well, they are quick to fine for small things, including leaving your valet trash can out after pick up.

I've loved living at Berkshire. The location is perfect (right next to Harris Teeter/restaurants/Ninth St and two shuttle stops that drop you off directly in front of the hospital), it's great for anyone who has dogs (seriously I think there are more amenities for dogs than people), and everything is fairly new within the last 5 years. The clubhouse/main office also has a great conference room for studying. Downside is it's definitely among the more expensive options in Durham. As a result, I think my roommate and I are the only medical students living there (as opposed to somewhere like Trinity where half the class typically lives), but it definitely hasn't been isolating or anything, just something to be aware of. Nothing but good things to say!

This is definitely on the more expensive end of Durham rentals. But this is what we wanted when we moved here. Great property, great amenities, close to the hospital and Harris Teeter

The apartment complex is great - management is responsive and organized. The facilities are well taken-care of and clean. The apartments are very nice and large - new appliances in the kitchen and large closets. The gym is fantastic and the pool and BBQ areas are very nice!

Good space. Love the home appliances, maintenance is very efficiency and reception very useful. Most of my friends live very close to me, is easy to do work, have parties and find/give rides. Being 2 minutes from Harris Teeter (Grocery Store) is absolutely great!
Can be a bit noise sometimes, but nothing major.

- Newer construction
- Very Responsive management

B9 has great amenities and everything stills seems very new. Maintenance requests are easy to submit and usually filled within 24 hours. The location is convenient, and the clubhouse has plenty of space to meet with classmates. Cons: you will hear your upstairs neighbor, many apartments are not in temp-controlled hallways, and parking garage gate is slow.

Location, location, location

Love it here!
