Great amenities and close to Station Nine/9th st

I've enjoyed living at Berkshire Main for the most part. The building was mostly empty this year because it's brand new. It's nice living in a quiet building near S9.

Nice new apartment, but management could be better

The apartment complex is almost a year old and when I moved into my apartment it was brand new, which was great. Although there were some minor maintenance issues at the beginning (to be expected considering the newness of the apartment), the apartment itself has been great. The only downside to the apartment is that the windows are not sound proof, so if there is anyone below who is talking you can hear them fairly well. The gym is fantastic and there is a nice grill area outside. The biggest downside to the apartment complex has been the management's lack of communication and miscommunication on multiple occasions and they are almost always coming up with new rules (some of this due to the fact that it is a new complex, but others seem unnecessary).

Fancy building, good location

Berkshire Main is a good place to live in the 9th street area. It's really close to the center of social action for Fuqua students, but it's not too noisy. If you live here though, be sure to live on the back side of the building (farther from the train tracks). If you live right next to the train tracks, it can be very loud! The building amenities are also excellent. If I had to do it all over again though, I'd likely choose to live even close to campus because the walk from the blue lot adds 15 minutes to my commute.

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.

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.

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.
