It’s… fine

You sort of get what you pay for at B9. The management is nice but not particularly responsive to anything pressing. Elevators and halls will sit uncleaned, gym machines will sit broken, etc. That said, haven’t had any issues with my unit and I’ve enjoyed living on 9th. Ultimately, I’d recommend living at one of the buildings on 9th and I think B9 is as good as the rest.

Not great, not bad

In general, I’ve had a fine experience with B9. It is expensive, so I would expect a high level of service, and I’ve found the service/amenities typically fall below expectation, but not by a massive margin. I wouldn’t live here again if I were to start from scratch, but I did decide to re-sign for a second year so that I wouldn’t have to move.

Good location

Good location.
Noise issues related to dogs and kids in nearby apartments, but have not experienced noise to do gatherings.
Have been pest issues at times. Management is fairly responsive.

Superb

B9 has been incredible - so quick to help with maintenance issues. The apartment also hosts various social events so I can meet non-Fuqua folks.

B9 2 Fairview Apartment

Great apartment overall. There have been a few issues with things breaking, but management has been communicative and responsive to everything that we have requested. The neighbors upstairs are fairly noisy. The printer is terrible. Some of the cardio gym equipment could use an upgrade. The rest of the community amenities are great and you cannot beat the location!

Great location & reasonably priced

I really enjoy living in B9 (as we call it). The location is optimal and many MBA students live in the building, so there's always something to do. The convenience of being across the street from Harris Teeter and 9th street cannot be understated! Short drive (~7 min) to Fuqua and Big Duke.

A little pricey for the offering

Per person rent at the apt is very high - the community does not offer many more amenities than other communities nearby, which have cheaper options.

Great amenities and very spacious

B9 amenities and staff are great and responsive. It’s very comfortable and close to grocery stores and restaurants. Gym is great. The only I’d say is that the floors are thin and you can easily hear your upstairs neighbor if they don’t have carpets.

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.
