If you're going to live on 9th street, b9 is an excellent choice. Pros: nice apartments, management is fine (they are generally good but sometimes tough to get a hold of), easy to pay and put in maintenance requests with the online portal, spacious gym, and a good pool that barely anyone uses. Cons are that it's not incredibly secure--they've had issues with doors being propped open all night, the bike room being raided, and packages being stolen.

B9 is a better but expensive alternative to station nine. While the apartments look nicer, the management is not very competent. if you are someone who doesn’t have a car and wants to live in the middle of the action, this is a good choice, but it can be more expensive than other alternatives.

Great proximity to 9th street Harris Teeter

Pro: apartments are clean and new. Appliances are included and fell of good quality. I signed a two-year contract and got a discount over the summer.

Con: there is an issue with trash pickup, the garbage room is always full. The lighting is bad, I had to buy lots of lamps to get good lighting in the apartment. Also, the management office is always empty. It takes forever to get administrative issues resolved. Finally, price is high, but apartment is on the nicer end.

Love how quiet yet well connected B9 is. The units are well designed and have great utilities.

A few problems related to security. Garage gates and pedestrian gates are often broken and we had a few cases of people breaking in and stealing bicycles from balconies.

The studios are too dark since they have only one light entry (window+door) and you have to constantly leave lights on, increasing energy bill. Also, it’s a bit depressing during winter. One last problem with studios are how thin the walls are. If you have problem with noise I would recommend living in the 4th floor to avoid an upstairs neighbor.

I love living at B9 since it's so close to Harris Teeter and other Fuqua students. The gym is good enough (and convenient) and I love the community that exists in the building. My only complaint is that they make you pay for garbage pick-up and in warm weather, we get roaches :(

- Overall it's a nice modern apartment.
-Wall is a bit thin so you can hear whoever is above you when they are walking.
- Cheap material throughout so do expect some broken things here and there.
- mgmt team is pretty quick on responding maintenance request which is a plus.

Very good overall
