Even though it is not the cheapest, it gives you the best value for what you pay

Overall, I would describe my experience in Berkshire Ninth as very positive--the staff is quick to respond, good at addressing concerns, and takes care in maintaining the community. There are minor issues: harmless scavenger bugs that can find their way into an apartment, relatively thin walls, and a garbage disposal that barely qualifies as powered, but the apartments themselves are new with good appliances and space, parking is plentiful, the common areas are trendy and well maintained, and the gym is functional.

For the price and location, it's very worthwhile.

We got lucky with our apartment. We have no one living above us (which I heard can be loud), and are happy with the space, warmth, AC, ensuite laundry, dishwasher, etc. There are some limitations to be aware of: you don't have a choice on internet/cable provider, our kitchen tap had lousy water pressure and maintenance took a couple of tries to fix it and added an aerator that helped but often sprays water around, you don't have a choice but to pay for pest control and garbage removal, you have to pay extra for water (10-20/month) and electricity (60-80/month), the kitchen appliances are relatively cheap models. They have strict rules around propert damage, parking, waste removal etc, so remains to be seen whether we get dinged for any of those!

More pricey than some other options but the apartments are really nice. The management company is great and very quick on any maintenance requests. Additionally, its a mixed community so you have people of all ages which is a nice change.

The apartments are new having been built in the past few years, very convenient location both close to school, grocery, and restaurants.

It's a great place to stay - close to everything and having the flexibility to be on your own in a quieter place or go across the streets to attend parties at Station Nine. The building is well maintained, although I think some of the fee such as trash collection are a bit pricey and the rules are quite strict.

We have been very happy at B9. We have a loft 1BR so lots of space. The building isn't perfect but no place really is. Substantially better than S9 for the price difference and more conveniently located than some of the other apartment complexes to Harris teeter, 9th Street, and the east campus running path.

My place is great but it's too expensive.

Suggestion to live on fourth floor if possible to avoid hearing upstairs neighbors walking - ceilings are very thin.

B9 is very new and modern. I am so happy with my choice. The convenience of the location is also great. More and more people are choosing B9 so almost all of my close friends live there.
