I live in a 1B studio that could easily be an apartment. In general B9 team helps fix fast any issue. Furthermore, the building is relatively new, has a great gym, lobby and pool

Good place to live if you compare it with other 9th Street apartments. But independently, it is pretty average and overpriced. There have been a couple of security-related cases as well recently, but I am guessing that's more because of the apartment being on the 9th street.

Berkshire 9th has a great location to school, grocery shopping, and restaurants.

I have really enjoyed living at Berkshire 9th and have lived there all 3 years. It is a great location and you can easily walk to Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and several restaurants and shops. The area feels safe and I like that it has a parking garage for my car.
I have a dog, and the complex has one of the best dogs parks in Durham. People at the dog park are friendly. The complex also has events every month that are fun.
While I don't really use them much, the gym is large and well-stocked, and it has a nice pool. There are also gas grills available for use in the courtyard that I do occasionally use to cook. Finally, the property has a clubhouse and outdoor area that are great if you want to host friends.
The biggest downside of living here is the expense. The only other complaint I have is that the fire alarm was having some issues last year and would randomly go off during the day.
As a final tip, do not get tricked into apartments 201, 301, or 401 because those units are by the trash shoot.

I have really enjoyed B9, particularly as a dog owner. I live right by the dog park which has been a nice benefit for having a high energy pup. My experience has been very positive, outside of the way mail/packages are delivered, and a slight lack of transparency around total cost.

During my FY it was great living close to other FY students. Many club and social events happen around ninth street which makes this location great. The building has a decent gym and pool.

Despite being somewhat expensive, it’s worth it. It’s relatively new and in an excellent position. Furthermore it’s Pool and gym are in a really good condition. Finally, while there are some events in there, you can still get a good night sleep

B9 may be a tad pricier than S9, but it is SO worth it if you want to live on Ninth Street - which about 50% of Fuqua students do. B9 has fancier amenities, a staff that actually cares about you, less cockroaches (welcome to the south), a bigger pool, and a larger dog park. I also don’t have to walk through the parking garage to get to my apartment nor do I have to wait forever on an elevator (which happens at S9). I highly recommend B9!

I really enjoy living on 9th Street. It's a bit away from where a lot of other students live, but if you have a car, I think it's the best place to be. Right next to the grocery, a ton of restaurants and stores two minutes away, and not far from Duke. All amenities are great and management has been fantastic.

You can tell the team at B9 cares not only about their residents but the property. They are constantly out on the property walking and checking to make sure everything is good to go. They can be delayed on responding, but always get you a response with 24-48 hours. They have done a lot of updates to their amenities including the fitness center. They are truly in the middle of everything and a short walk to campus. Maintenance is fantastic and super responsive. They have 2-3 events per month where you can meet your neighbors and socialize as well!
