Durham North Carolina has an affordable cost of living, excellent education system, first class health care and a variety of housing styles. What more could you ask for when looking to move to a new area? Downtown Durham is popular with young couples and students due to its close proximity to Duke University but it is also a popular choice for empty nesters looking for a city lifestyle. Being downtown puts you close to all the action. Northern Durham is a short drive to down town and is more quiet than other surrounding areas. Here you will find homes nestled in trees along the roads. The Treyburn area calls out to the naturists and golfers as the ten different neighbourhoods in this area offers up golf courses, nature trails and lakes. Here Durham NC Houses range from garden homes to estate villas. If you are looking more for an older historic home than try the Watts Hospital-Hillandale or Trinty Park locations where the homes stand out with unique characteristic styles.
