Great place to live overall

Pros: Really great staff, seriously they’re awesome. The apartments are definitely the nicest and largest between B9 and S9. Not as much partying activity as S9, events are typically pretty tame and over by 11pm. It’s all mostly quiet. B9 has the best apartment gym in town. The clubhouse is also amazing with conference rooms to work in for group projects, a kitchen area, a pool table, and shuffle board table. There are also community events pretty regularly if you have time to partake.
Cons: it’s not super cheap, which should be expected. The pool at S9 is better, but you can always just walk over there if you want.

overall OK

--Very close to campus
--parking is annoying (uncovered on 4th floor and one of the 2 gates has been broken for over a month)
--older building, overpriced for what it is. Appliances are older. My washer has broken over five times and they refuse to replace it
--Building is a maze. Gym, parking lot entrances, etc. are not central or convenient for most apartments.
--No trash chutes on each floor, they make you pay $30 a month for valet trash and it's not consistent.
--loud. Man with leaf blower every weeknight near the building between 10pm--11:30pm

Great option

I live in a 1B studio that could easily be an apartment. In general B9 team helps fix fast any issue. Furthermore, the building is relatively new, has a great gym, lobby and pool

Berkshire Ninth Street Review

Good place to live if you compare it with other 9th Street apartments. But independently, it is pretty average and overpriced. There have been a couple of security-related cases as well recently, but I am guessing that's more because of the apartment being on the 9th street.

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.
