Good overall. Maintenance is prompt, office staff is helpful

Very responsive and friendly management. Great apartment layout that met our needs.

amazing apartments, great size, love the amenities.

Berkshire Ninth provides convenient, modern apartments great for business school students. The location is very close to Duke and a convenient walk to necessities (e.g., grocery store, restaurants, bars, dry-cleaning). The apartments and amenities and up-to-date and kept in good condition, particularly the gym, which is one of the nicest I have seen at an apartment complex. The complex is good for those are married or living with significant other. Noise travels in the hallway and the floors are thin, which could make it difficult for those with children. Although the rent is on the high-end for Durham, the complex runs specials on certain apartments for Fuqua students, which makes it very affordable.

This building is ideal for graduate students at Fuqua. Families should beware though as it can be nosy with parties (though not nearly as bad as station 9). The building is nice and and new, making it every comfortable while at school. Also, the location is perfect!

Be aware that management is always looking for new ways to fine residents (very money hungry), the rent is a premium--well above any average rent in Durham with it's only differentiating factor being that it's new and updated. Other complexes in the area are coming up and more affordable.

Also note that during the summer heavy rainfalls, millipedes get into apartments (management has no solution), and the walls are thin; I can hear my neighbors when they're talking a bit loudly.

Apartment is beautiful and the location nearby everyone makes it easy. It was the right choice for the business school situation, but value isn't great. You pay a lot for amenities (gym, trash, service from staff, etc.) and those things are really lacking. Gym TVs have been broken for months, valet trash just encourages leaving trash outside for ages, and the staff is nice, but unable to solve issues.

Moved in about a month ago and have had a great experience thus far! Move in was great and my apartment was incredibly clean. The management staff was very prepared for my move-in appointment and had everything set-up (and I even got a nice move in gift)!

Amazing location next to Harris Teeter, lots of restaurants, Duke hospital/campus. Management is very poor, they have no idea what they're doing. Looks very nice, but things tend to break often, fire alarm testing happens all the time and is extremely loud.

The complex has a strong contingent of business school students and is close to others at Station 9, making the location a great place to be.

Berkshire 9th is currently the most expensive apartment complex that MBAs can live in around Durham. But given how new the units are and how large they can be depending on your set up, its worth the extra cost. Location is ideal given the Harris Teeter next to the building and the density of students in the building or across the street in the much dirtier Station 9. High costs are probably what makes the building ideal for couples who can share a 1BR or 1BR plus loft and not sacrifice as much on cost as those people requiring a 2BR. Amenities overall are a whole lot nicer than Station 9, particularly the gym, which is great.
