Good place to live

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.

Location isn't everything

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.

B9 2020 review

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!

Great Place

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.

B9 Beware

Terrible management company. Thin walls with loud neighbors. Do not feel as secure as I would like for the amount that I pay. Go with Station 9, 810, or a non-9th street location.

A Nice Place to Live

The management can be slow to respond to requests, which can be frustrating. If you are a student, it is a good place to live because a lot of other students live nearby.

Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
Neighborhood has been great. Haven't been commuting to school all that frequently for obvious reasons, but takes less than 10 minutes to do so. I can grab everything I need and meet with friends all within walking distance. Durham could use more street lights in general, but in terms of safety, I think 9th street is your best option!
Reviewed by Fuqua MMS Student living at Station Nine
Best place to live hands down. Next to the supermarket, so many food options and many complexes in the area. Near downtown and Duke. Great if you’re new in town because it is super safe. Perfect if you have a car because the only downside is that depending on what Duke school you’re in it might not be walking distance.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
Ninth Street is super walkable and majority of Fuquans live in the area. Definitely worth it to pay a little more to live in walking distance of so many classmates. Plus the restaurants on Ninth Street are great, and a short walk (~3 mins) to East Campus to use the walking trail!
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
Everything is close: other complexes like S9, B9; bars like flying bull, the tavern, supermarkets like Harris Teeter or Whole Foods, East campus hiking route.

You can get to the school by bus (45 mi) or by car (10 min). Carpooling is very commom.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
Neighborhood is fine. All the Duke grad students live in the same area so it makes for a pleasant student community, and there are some decent restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
Harris Teeter and Whole Foods are right nearby, and the area feels generally safe. 5 min from the highway if you need to drive outside of Durham. ~10 min to get to the WaDuke/Science Drive.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
The 9th St. neighborhood is great because it is within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants on 9th St. It could be better if it were closer to Fuqua and/or downtown Durham.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at 810 Ninth Street
All the restaurants around the 9th street area are within 5 mins walk from the complex. The campus is an 8-10 minute drive. Downtown Durham is also an 8-10 minute drive away.
