Highly Recommend

Amazing property with wonderful staff. Expensive, but I love it and there is a lot of space. Sometimes people complain about the floors/ceilings being thin but I am on the top floor so I do not have issues (and have never had issues with thin walls).

Berkshire CH

Great place to live. Tons of amenities available for residents including gym, pool, study lounge with printer, coffee machine in the lobby and places to hangout in the lobby (socially distanced). The complex also sets up a lot of good events for residents such as free food trucks and breakfast a few times a month. I can definitely tell they want it to be a community when we aren’t in a pandemic.

Great Inside and Out

The Berkshire is located in a great location - walking distance to CAVA, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, and a number of fitness studios. There are walking trails for walking and running all which are located in safe Chapel Hill neighborhoods.

The apartments are very nice, including have huge windows, new appliances, and can be "broken up" to feel as though you have multiple living spaces. Only complaint is that the floors are relatively thin, so you can easily hear upstairs neighbors walking around.

Solid place to live close to amenities

Really good complex. Not too far from downtown Chapel Hill, about a 7 minutes drive to school and walking distance to Whole Foods, Trader Joes and many other restaurants and stores.

Excellent community

New, clean apartments; big rooms, pools, gyms, studying area, free coffee; a very convenient community with several groceries and restaurants around the area. The only concern is the rent is a little bit higher than other apartments, but it's worth.

Great but sometimes noisy

Very nice place to live but the building was not built with sound in mind. You can hear noise from your neighbors next door, below you, and above you. Especially the footsteps of the person living above you.

Best Place to live in Chapel Hill

I have zero complaints about living at the Birkshire. It is in walking distance to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Ulta, Pets Mart, Staples, and many food options. Having that access as well as being 9 minutes away from Kenan-Flagler and 6 minutes away from the heart of Franklin, I would highly suggest living here. Maintenance requests are always completed day of and the front desk is always willing to help. Safety on the building is wonderful and having access to each parking garage level through each apartment floor is extremely convenient.

Berkshire is awesome

Berkshire has been the best apartment complex for me. It’s spacious and clean. We have a pool, games, grills, ample study rooms and tables and free coffee! They also do free events every month and management has been really good. The best part is the location. Walking distance to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s as well as stores and take out. I highly recommend it even over the Morgan which is way too remote for me.

Fantastic Experience

Great community, great location. Brand new -- opened in 2017, and there is another apartment building opening nearby. One of the most urban buildings you can live in here. The apartments are connected by interior hallways, so you can go to the gym or mailbox at 1am without walking outside. Located 450ft from Whole Foods, with many other shops and restaurants within walking distance. Most people drive, but the D bus line is pretty convenient too. Very pet friendly. Floor plans are very well designed; they don't have awkward hallways that waste space. Large common area where many group project meetings are held. Management also holds free food and drink events once per month.

About Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill has a suburban feel, with many single-family homes and quiet streets. The neighborhood is not particularly walkable, with few shops and restaurants within walking distance. The neighborhood is located near several major highways, including I-40 and US-15, making it easy to get around by ...

Getting around Chapel Hill


Chapel Hill Reviews

It's very quiet: mostly graduate students and some families. Very convenient for getting to McColl. It is tucked away in the corner of campus so if you want to walk anywhere, it takes about a mile to get into campus. I would recommend having a car for this neighborhood since there are no grocery stores within walking distance.
Love being right on Franklin street. Walking distance to football games and tailgates as well as restaurants and bars on Franklin.
Lots of food options around the building. I regularly walk my dog in the area around the apartment.
The neighborhood is mostly for other UNC students.
Carrboro is really cool, if slightly offbeat place to be. Weaver St Market and a bevy of other restaurants/smaller places make it a good food hub. For things going on, there are things like the Carrboro Arts Fest, weekly "Carrboro Street Markets" with lots of vendors, and a flurry of other community-oriented activities.

Have enjoyed my time there.
Lots of stores, gym in neighborhood, church, groceries--basically a little town. Con is that it almost feels a bit "Pleasantville." That said, the Walmart up the road (<2 min) is wonderful as is Fig & Honey and the huge Harris Teeter (<5 min away) in Chatham county. Families and children amidst Med School students and retirees. Great feeling, awesome convenience to UNC and downtown CH. Highly recommend.
Neighborhood feels super safe. Little kids will like the playground on-site. Lots of friends for them to play with. Elementary school (Glenwood) is awesome, if not old. Plenty of community events to meet people and for kids to play. I like it here, and recommend it to most people.
The neighborhood is very convenient for business grad students, however, it is far from everything else. You need to get a car for everything, except going to school. It still compensates, given that uber is cheap in the region and the convenience to go to school is amazing.
