The overall complex is great with many good amenities. The management team is very responsive, though deals with high turnover and therefore inconsistent communications. We love our apartment, its location, and the quality of life that we have here. My partner and I enjoy our stay here, but there is certainly opportunity for growth.

Room for improvement: Better package delivery system, Ensure better security for gates (there have been some thefts lately), Install functional cameras for internal community, Install cameras for parking garage, AWFUL Central Office staff.

Overall, is it worth the cost? Not really. They have enough demand from graduate students that the company inflates prices, but does not keep up with amenities and staff are overworked.

- Overall it's a nice modern apartment.
-Wall is a bit thin so you can hear whoever is above you when they are walking.
- Cheap material throughout so do expect some broken things here and there.
- mgmt team is pretty quick on responding maintenance request which is a plus.

Apartment is really nice, maintenance is responsive, management leaves a lot to be desired. My car got broken into the garage and I got no support.

Very good overall

Ninth St. Student Review

Berkshire Ninth Street is one of the more expensive options in Durham, but it's a really nice complex with no major issues so far. One of the best options for people who have some work experience and savings and don't mind paying a little extra for a great apartment.

B9 is a great place to live. The property is well maintained and has excellent amenities. The apartment is new, spacious, and comfortable. The management company is responsive when issues arrive, and they throw at least 3 social events per month for you to meet your neighbors. The only issue I've had is with the 3rd party vendors that B9 contracts with. Sometimes those vendors, notably the trash collection service, will miss entire floors while rendering their services. However, this is no fault of the management company, and they are always willing to get in contact with the vendors and work to get things right. I highly recommend it overall, and heavily encourage any graduate or professional student at Duke to look into their graduate leasing program for an excellent leasing rate.

While a bit pricey, this is a fantastic place to live: a good mix of students and working professionals and a short, beautiful drive from the law school.

You certainly pay for it, but the facilities are very nice!

Responsive management, maintenance request responded to within 1 day, apartment complex feels safe (although the parking garage door is sometimes left open for no reason), residents are pretty respectful of other residents, pet friendly, clean gym, close proximity to Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and East Campus is added bonus. Wish there were more individual self study rooms.
