4 Reviews & Comments About Durham
/5
I live n Durham. Most of it is fishy. And I'm from,ny !,!,!, but oh boy downtown about to start booming. But the high schools. No way
Durham has been a great place to live for the past 5 years.
There are two clear sections to it from my perspective, downtown and mid-burbs.
Downtown you can walk to everything and they are building it up like crazy.
The mid-burbs are still part of Durham, feel like the suburbs, not walking friendly, but safer and more kid friendly.
You can always park wherever you drive, so it's more of a lifestyle choice than anything else.
Durham is a small city with big city dreams. Fantastic restaurants and museums, lots of local flavor and passion, and a beautiful landscape.
Check out the museums, all of the musical venues, and the great outdoor amenities like the Eno River and the Tobacco Trail.
My son lives in Durham and his home has been broken into 3 times, he has had bullets come thru his window and the police tell him he's in the better part of that area. The bullets came from several blocks over where they have constant gun violence, he's west of Briar Creek area. I lived in Durham where you can't even leave a plant on the porch without it being stolen.
