Only major complaint is noise from the apartment above mine. It's also on the pricey side for what it is and in the Durham real estate context. Otherwise, staff is helpful, amenities are good, and apartment is comfortable. I like having my own space, but am able to be close to the Fuqua community.

Really nice apartments for a reasonable price. Price evens out with summer discount if you rent for 2 years. Great amenities, beautiful features and great location close to many Fuqua students and 9th street.

Amazing place!

My apartment is amazing -- we pay a bit much compared what else you can get in Durham but it's essentially paying for convenience (close proximity to school, 9th street, social activities, gym). The quality of amenities are really high though and it's all modern interior.

For the location (proximity to Harris Teeter, Station 9, Ninth Street, etc) it is the best. Amenities are great. Awesome gym, and a clubhouse where you actually want to hang out. Responsive management. If you don't mind living a little further away (half a mile) from this central spot, you could find a nice house rental for much cheaper.

Also note that it will probably more expensive for incoming students because it's at full occupancy now. Try to take advantage of specials (discounts if you sign during BDW, free rent during the summer)

Complex is new and the staff know what they're doing. The studios are a great option if you'd prefer to live without roommates -- all floor plans have a walled off bedroom, unlike "traditional" studios where it's just one room.

If you're a couple sharing a one bedroom, the comfort and look and feel of the apartment make it feel like a real home + amenities are really nice. Location on 9th street can't be beat, if you're busy or don't have a car, literally every basic need is in walking distance. About 2 miles from school, $5 uber ride + free bus pickup

The apartments are new having been built in the past few years, very convenient location both close to school, grocery, and restaurants.

Even though it is not the cheapest, it gives you the best value for what you pay

Overall, I would describe my experience in Berkshire Ninth as very positive--the staff is quick to respond, good at addressing concerns, and takes care in maintaining the community. There are minor issues: harmless scavenger bugs that can find their way into an apartment, relatively thin walls, and a garbage disposal that barely qualifies as powered, but the apartments themselves are new with good appliances and space, parking is plentiful, the common areas are trendy and well maintained, and the gym is functional.

For the price and location, it's very worthwhile.
