Love the gym, pool, and amenities. Maintenance is super responsive every time there's an issue. Ninth street has great restaurants/bars/coffee shops and Harris Teeter and Whole Foods are walking distance, which is huge. My roommate and I take the bus every day to TSCHE and it's really convenient — takes less time than parking in PG3 and walking from there to TSCHE. Only downsides have been that the apartment wasn't super clean when we moved in (drains had some gunk, cobwebs, needing to vacuum) and we have had some cockroaches. It's also a bit more expensive than other options, but for the amenities and getting to know Durham we felt like it was worth it.

A little expensive but otherwise good

Great, lots of amenities and its great to be right on ninth street. All my friends from other buildings always come to mine to congregate.

Very clean and up-to-date, great location, definitely the best building in the area

Great living space!

Love the location! I think the rooms are a bit over priced but the amenities are awesome and the location is great

Pros: Really great staff, seriously they’re awesome. The apartments are definitely the nicest and largest between B9 and S9. Not as much partying activity as S9, events are typically pretty tame and over by 11pm. It’s all mostly quiet. B9 has the best apartment gym in town. The clubhouse is also amazing with conference rooms to work in for group projects, a kitchen area, a pool table, and shuffle board table. There are also community events pretty regularly if you have time to partake.
Cons: it’s not super cheap, which should be expected. The pool at S9 is better, but you can always just walk over there if you want.

Excellent location and neighborhood.

Good location, nice amenities, pricey.

--Very close to campus
--parking is annoying (uncovered on 4th floor and one of the 2 gates has been broken for over a month)
--older building, overpriced for what it is. Appliances are older. My washer has broken over five times and they refuse to replace it
--Building is a maze. Gym, parking lot entrances, etc. are not central or convenient for most apartments.
--No trash chutes on each floor, they make you pay $30 a month for valet trash and it's not consistent.
--loud. Man with leaf blower every weeknight near the building between 10pm--11:30pm
