Berkshire Communities

Great location & spacious apartment. Very clean and nice amenities.

Providence is great! Not a lot of noisy neighbors. It is a bit on the expensive side, but I love the location. Highway is super close so commute to school is about 20 mins which is very doable!

Highly recommend living in this building. The location is incredible, it has a rooftop pool with one of the best views of the city, young building with people in their 20s-early 30s.

The community is very familiar and traditional, perfect for a family. The neighbors value and respect hours of volume, and are well behaved (no parties or smoking). The only reason I'm giving a 9 instead of a 10 is because the rail (Metro) pass next to the property every five minutes and the bells ring loudly.

Berkshire Main

Very good amenities, the extra utilities costs are a little much with valet trash but the add ons for internet/cable are reasonable. The office is responsive and helpful and the building is gorgeous

Large, clean apartments. Helpful staff. Lots of resident events with free food now. A big communal clubhouse area with places to study. Great location, across the street from Harris Teeter which has a Starbucks in it.

Management is responsive and there is a 24-hour security officer to manage who enters the building. Every entrance point requires a key fob and the building is very secure. Less than a 10 minute drive to campus!

Access to pool and gym makes this gated community really enjoyable. Kitchen works. Living room was pleasant. Furniture a bit old but nothing dramatic.

I love the location of my apartment - it is only a 10-15 minute walk to VUMC and there are plenty of restaurants and bars around for when I don't want to cook for myself or go and socialize. The apartment building itself is very clean and feels very safe. I love the management - they are extremely personable and helpful. The only thing is that I feel I am paying quite a bit for rent based on the amenities (a small gym, not huge lobby/meeting spaces, and nothing fancy like a recording studio or pet spa, and no utilities) compared to other places, but you really can't beat the location.

Management is pretty horrible

Great for Fuqua students. Is it expensive? Yes, especially if you don’t have a roommate. But everywhere on 9th street is. I have gotten frustrated with random charges. One tip: see if you can negotiate your rent down a bit before signing, it worked for me. B9 has the best dog park and a nice lobby/clubhouse which is nice to use for small get-togethers. They do a lot of resident events with free food and drinks. Love that it’s close to Harris Teeter. Nice that S9 is right across the street, so you can go there for pool parties/house parties, but then come back to somewhere a little quieter. B9 is also a lot easier to navigate than S9, in my opinion. Berkshire Main is a bit too far away from the action and not as many MBA students live there. B9 is the best option for a Fuqua student. I’m in a studio which has very little closet space and storage space. You have to get a bit creative in a studio.

Good, but expensive

B9 is great for people looking to spend a couple of hundred bucks extra for a more modern, quiet and better looking apartment

Love b9! Amenities are amazing, and it’s less of a party scene than station nine. The building has a gym, a pool, and a bunch of common spaces. Really love it here.
