International Student

Good space. Love the home appliances, maintenance is very efficiency and reception very useful. Most of my friends live very close to me, is easy to do work, have parties and find/give rides. Being 2 minutes from Harris Teeter (Grocery Store) is absolutely great!
Can be a bit noise sometimes, but nothing major.

Great place

B9 has great amenities and everything stills seems very new. Maintenance requests are easy to submit and usually filled within 24 hours. The location is convenient, and the clubhouse has plenty of space to meet with classmates. Cons: you will hear your upstairs neighbor, many apartments are not in temp-controlled hallways, and parking garage gate is slow.

Best choice in Ninth Street area

Great experience over the last two years. Good location on Ninth Street and lots of graduate students in the building. The clubhouse is a good spot for team meetings and larger events.The management team is probably the most responsive of any apartment complex I've lived in.

Great for convenience and amenities

Overall great apartment, awesome gym, super convenient to Station 9 and 9th Street. A little bit pricey but you get a lot for it. We wish we had known about some of the lower priced options around 9th street, including other apartment complexes (810 especially) and apartment houses.

Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
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.
