Station 9 - 2 bed 2 bath apartment

I have very much enjoyed my time at Station 9. I am a student at Fuqua and my roommate is in Fuqua as well. Many of our friends live in this building, so it is convenient for being near classmates. It is also a convenient area as we are right across the street from a grocery store and very close to many restaurants. The parking garage is free for residents and the gym is as well.

Good for students

So far, I've enjoyed my experience at Station Nine. That said, it is not without its faults. Many of the units, including my own, have either no cell service or horrible cell service depending on who your provider is (I have Verizon). Additionally, the wifi can be unreliable, and people often end up needing to buy a router or some other wifi unit to keep the wifi stable. Overall though, I recommend it for any students going to school in the area.

Love station nine!

Biggest reason I love living in Station Nine is the sense of community. I love being able to live near my classmates and other graduate students. I didn't have a car my first year here and it was very easy to find rides to campus, walk to Fuqua if I had time, or take the bus. I also loved how easy it is to get to Ninth Street restaurants/bars and the grocery store. Only reason I wouldn't give S9 a 10/10 rating is that there are some aspects of the maintenance that I have yet to have fixed (such as leaking window sills when it rains), but that's a trade off I'd be happy to have to live in a great location in a nice apartment for a little bit less than the rent of other Ninths Street buildings.

Good for throwing parties

Pros:

They are very chill if you throw parties/events

Gym, pool and club house are great

People that work here are very nice

Maintenance responds very fast

Cons:

Apartments are overpriced imo.

You can hear everything your neighbors do.

Apartments “look” good with the renovation, but they are still “cheap apartments”

Overall would recommend if you want to have pregames, people over often. The other apartments in the area are not open to that. If you don’t care about that, the other apartments are way nicer and newer and around the same price.

Ps. Don’t fall for the 2 year lease, get a one year and then you can get another month or two free when you renew through their renewal specials

Also! Avoid first floors. They are concrete throughout, have cracks and they can flood during heavy rain. (Which is why they keep them as concrete, easy to dry)

My unit is great, the complex not so much

I really enjoy my unit given it's located far away from the pool, close to a door to exit/enter the complex and has lots of natural light. I don't think I would be as pleased if this wasn't the case.

Cheaper "Luxury" Living

Leasing staff is really nice and maintenance is responsive (will come within 1-2 days depending on your issue).

Poor WiFi signal is sometimes a pain. The occasional roach spotting, but maintenance does come and spray if requested. Would make sure to do proper vetting in terms of where your apartment location is within the complex (i.e. not near the dumpster with very loud/early trash pick-up, not near the pool with loud socializing, not near the road with loud traffic).

Resident population skews a bit younger, but there are some families. Parties occur, but usually only held on the weekend. It's a typical multi-dwelling unit so walls are somewhat thin.

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.
