THE LOCAL PICTURE

Follow the city's own rhythm.

Durham has a strong sense of place, from its downtown streets to its green corridors. Spend time in more than one part of the city before narrowing a home search; a short map distance does not always tell the whole story.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOMES

A map is a start.
The address tells more.

Compare the feel and practical routes of each area rather than treating Durham as one uniform market. Walk a few blocks around a potential home and test the trips you expect to make.

QUESTIONS TO TAKE ALONG
  1. Which downtown or park destinations matter to you?
  2. What does the route between home and work look like?
  3. How close do you want to be to a trail entrance?
