It’s a very nice place to live, but it is expensive, management is pushy about their improvement projects which are disruptive to daily life, and repairs take a long time.

Love our apartment! Great location, lovely management, perfect gym.

Really nice area and walking distance to Duke (15 mins to med school). Can hear the train go by several times a day, and the noise level depends on what side of the building you’re on. Parking in gated garage below the building with direct access to the buildings (interior doors, feels safe).

This is the best apartment complex in Durham

Berk main is relatively close to campus; students either walk the 15-20ish minutes or take the H1 Duke bus route, which picks you up right in front of the apt building and drops you off right in front of the hospital next to our med school building. It's also really close to 9th street, which has restaurants and stuff, grocery stores like Whole Foods, and not too far from downtown Durham. Berk Main is super clean - there are folks cleaning all around daily, and there is a trash valet service from your door 5 days per week. The gym is nice but just kinda has the basics. The common areas (demo kitchen, business areas, lounge areas, etc.) are all super beautiful and clean. The leasing and maintenance managers are also amazing. The leasing managers were so helpful as I moved across the country, and the maintenance workers have always been so quick to respond to any requests. I always feel super safe no matter what time I'm getting home, and I haven't had any issues with packages or anything. I think my apartment is really beautiful and gets a lot of light. I love the Nest included in every apartment because it is so convenient to control temperatures either automatically or from my phone on my way home. This building is also super quiet and lowkey (maybe thick walls), which is perfect for students I think (the only noisy thing is the train). I have loved living here, and my only qualm is that it is a little pricey, but I think that it's worth the price. They also have a lot of free social events, which are really cool. If you're a pet owner, it seems like a great place for pets because they have a pet spa, spacious floor plans, balconies/patios, and a little doggy run area outside.

The building is close to school and has great amenities. The noise from the train can get annoying at times. Neighbors, parking, and safety are good.

Great location & spacious apartment. Very clean and nice amenities.

Love it here because of all the amenities

Rooms and amenities are very nice, but we have had far too many issues with management. The location is good, but the train is noisy.

Very nice complex with good quality of both the apartments and the common areas. Location is great (5 minutes walking distance from B9/S9 and 9th street, 7 minutes driving distance from Fuqua). The complex is close to a train crossing but it didn't bother my studying and sleeping experience
