B9

Berkshire Ninth Street is one of the more expensive options in Durham, but it's a really nice complex with no major issues so far. One of the best options for people who have some work experience and savings and don't mind paying a little extra for a great apartment.

Excellent place to live

B9 is a great place to live. The property is well maintained and has excellent amenities. The apartment is new, spacious, and comfortable. The management company is responsive when issues arrive, and they throw at least 3 social events per month for you to meet your neighbors. The only issue I've had is with the 3rd party vendors that B9 contracts with. Sometimes those vendors, notably the trash collection service, will miss entire floors while rendering their services. However, this is no fault of the management company, and they are always willing to get in contact with the vendors and work to get things right. I highly recommend it overall, and heavily encourage any graduate or professional student at Duke to look into their graduate leasing program for an excellent leasing rate.

Great Place to Live

While a bit pricey, this is a fantastic place to live: a good mix of students and working professionals and a short, beautiful drive from the law school.

Expensive, but solid!

You certainly pay for it, but the facilities are very nice!

Berkshire Ninth St

Responsive management, maintenance request responded to within 1 day, apartment complex feels safe (although the parking garage door is sometimes left open for no reason), residents are pretty respectful of other residents, pet friendly, clean gym, close proximity to Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and East Campus is added bonus. Wish there were more individual self study rooms.

Large, clean apartments. Helpful staff. Lots of resident events with free food now. A big communal clubhouse area with places to study. Great location, across the street from Harris Teeter which has a Starbucks in it.

Berkshire Ninth Street Review

Very good amenities, the extra utilities costs are a little much with valet trash but the add ons for internet/cable are reasonable. The office is responsive and helpful and the building is gorgeous

Sort of luxury

B9 is great for people looking to spend a couple of hundred bucks extra for a more modern, quiet and better looking apartment

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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
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.
Reviewed by Fuqua MBA Student living at Station Nine
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.
