Good but Expensive

Clean and well-kept, but you're paying for it.

Best place on 9th St

BMain is the best place to live in the Main Street area, out of B9 and S9. Amazing property for the value. Wuiet complex and close enough to the 9th St area social scene (approx 3min walk to S9, 4min walk to B9). Neighbors are very respectable and management is friendly and responsive. Common areas are well-kept and maintenance is extremely responsive and friendly.

Fuqua Welcome

Close to Station 9 and Berkshire Ninth Street where many Fuqua students live, as well as walking distance to the Ninth Street area with restaurants and bars. In particular, I really like being walking distance from Yoga Off East and Tavern (popular Fuqua hangout every Tuesday night). I chose Berkshire Main Street because I wanted to be in the same area where most of my classmates live, but also a little bit removed from the action so that I could be as involved in the social scene as I wanted. Also very convenient for team meetings since so many people live in this area. Berkshire Main amenities are really nice and I have enjoyed living here. Also recommend signing a two year lease with reduced rent over the summer during your internship.

Great location, but train is really loud

Really convenient to campus and the rest of the 9th street area, but it is really close to a train crossing that is really loud, sometimes early in the morning and late at night.

Enjoyed Living Here

Overall, I have enjoyed living at BMain and haven't had any large issues. I like that it is close to Station 9, but not in S9. All of the apartments have Nest thermostats in them, which is great for saving money on cooling/heating. The community kitchen space is really nice and is perfect for having a large group of people over. The common spaces can be reserved online, which is also very convenient.

Be aware of where you chose to live in the apartments, as we are very close to the train tracks and the apartments that face the tracks have to deal with incredibly loud trains 5-10x a day.

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.
