Pricey for Durham; Great for Fuquans

S9 is great for Fuquans. Most of my classmates are either here or at B9 right next door. From my apartment to Fuqua is a 9 min drive and a 5 min walk. Harris Teeter is super convenient, and you're only a 5 min walk from restaurants, bars, and anything else you'd need. All the girls who work in the management office are very polite and cordial. With that said, it is a bit pricey for what you get.

The workout part of the gym is small and lacks some equipment. The pool and outdoor amenities are decent but nothing special. The finishes on my apartment aren't super nice (no granite counter tops or stainless appliances). There is no security system, and you're stuck with TWC for cable/internet. Bills range anywhere from $80-200/month. My apartment also has a small pest problem as I consistently see some small bugs. Management is working on that for me and has been very good to me so far. All in all though, $1200+ for a 1 bedroom in Durham should come with more.

My apartment is right by the pool. The noise of people enjoying summer can get loud on the weekends in the warmer months, but it's manageable. Given the timeline for studying at Fuqua, I don't plan on moving 2nd year, however if I was here longer, I would be looking for another place.

Don't do it

Management is absolutely awful. The pool was closed during all the warm months, we get charged for leaving our trash out at the wrong time but we can't opt out of valet trash, and it's the only complex in the area that didn't give summer discounts to residents who were going away for summer internships (Berkshire 9 and Berkshire Main gave $500 monthly rent).

Station Nine

Station Nine is a fine place to live while at Fuqua. It doesn't have a lot of frills, but most people tend to live there so that makes up for it. Apartment size is decent, and it is well-maintained.

👍🏽

Coming from a high-cost market, I am happy with the square footage and price though know that peers can easily find more space for less money. Station 9 is convenient, given the amount of Fuqua students who live here.

S9 - good for the people, bad for value

Apartment is fine. Berkshire 9 is better.

Excellent location

Station 9 is a great place to live. It is convenient as most of your class will be living at S9 or in adjacent areas (Berkshire 9 or Berkshire Main). Across the street, you have Harris Teeter, a 24 hour grocery store. The bank and the duke bus stop is also very close-by.

Perfect for b-school

The place we're in is a 2/2 with plenty of natural light on the top floor and back side of station nine. We get little noise save the occasional party or dog, and are generally pleased with the unit. I've found maintenance to be extremely responsive and friendly and the front desk staff to be (mostly) friendly and helpful.

Its perfect for b-school at Fuqua because of its proximity to everyone else in the program - note that its basically an upscale dorm at this point.

By biggest complaints would be the passive-aggressive emails sent from management, the lack-luster gym, and the price of the unit. Buy hey... supply/demand right?

S9 ain't horrible

S9 is good about fixing your stuff when it's broken. It's not a terrible place to live, and not as loud as you hear it is. Don't even think about living here with children. They offer summer rent to some people and not others which is kind of ridiculous.

Ninth Street Reviews

264 reviews
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
