810 9th is a great place to live-- there aren't any major red flags I'd mention because the management is kind, responsive, and helpful and the units are clean and well maintained. One thing I would say is that the walls to the outside are thin- you can hear every car, conversations from the sidewalk below, etc. through the walls facing the streets.

I'd say that of all the 9th St. options (B9, S9, Erwin Mills, BMain) that 810 is probably the most premium option. Then again, I'd say you get what you pay for. The apartment complex is generally quiet, the amenities are nice, and the appliances are up to date. It's a very easy complex to navigate and has a pretty solid gym. Packages are delivered to an amazon locker and you don't have to be concerned about packages being taken in a mail room. The pool is quieter too if you're considering facing the pool. Also, management is super responsive. I've never had a problem.

I thought my apartment was going to feel small, but the space is just right for me and my husband! Our apt view is towards the dog park (Green St.), no problem with noise but natural light during winter can be limited some days.
Compared to other places in Durham, 9th street alternatives are expensive. However, the location is great if you are an MBA student (single or with a partner - no kids). If you don't plan on having/buying a car, it might be your best choice. I do feel 810 is the best option among 9th street alternatives!

Love my stay at 810, management is very helpful

Great place to live but very strict with the noise after 10 PM.

The building is new, pretty. Good gym. Everytime I have a request, they solve it quickly. HOWEVER, the leasing office always puts noise complaints. So if you are a party person or like to have people in your place regularly, this is not the place. Honestly, security came to a friend's house just for 5 people talking, no music.
Besides that, just one private conference room.

Very clean and nice place to live. I like the space to study. Quiet and easy access to East Campus which has the bus to Fuqua.

Good apartment, but very expensive as compared to similar apartments in the area.

Paper-thin walls, disorganized and controlling staff. The amenities are great but the staff is so strict about using them, it undermines the value.

I think 810 is the nicest building on 9th street, compared to the other popular options. It is the cleanest building; management is extremely friendly and responsive; and there are days where residents are given free breakfast on the go.

If you are not someone that likes to host parties, then 810 is the perfect place to live. It's not a social building, you'll get peace and privacy here. Management is strict about noise after 11PM, which makes it great if you're trying to study or sleep! But it is a short walking distance to the other buildings if you want to attend pre-games, etc.
