Durham, North Carolina

Once a busy Southern center for the tobacco and textile industries, Durham reinvented itself to become a research and technology center that is often compared to the Silicon Valley. Part of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill triangle, it is a city both rich in history and innovation.

Durham Living

Durham owes much of its wealth and history to tobacco, and this is reflected in its neighborhoods. When searching for your Durham apartment, you find numerous choices from historic to modern. The downtown area has loft and factory conversions which are worth looking at.

These are converted tobacco and textile buildings and are historic but you can also expect amenities like pools and sun decks too. Nearer to Duke University, you'll find complexes both large and small which were built in the 80s. It's a neighborhood convenient to almost everything.

The newest builds will be found in areas like Southpoint. The area is full of grad students, dogs and a great lifestyle.

University Central

While much of Durham centers around Duke University, its sports teams and cultural events, there is also a variety of other activities to be found in this city. The Duke Forest provides many opportunities for outdoor pursuits such as hiking, biking and horseback riding.

There are numerous other garden and parkland areas as well. Golfers will also find many courses that are both beautiful and affordable. Ninth Street is a wonderful pedestrian mall area with shops, dining, movies and more. There are venues for theatre, good art museums and other cultural activities, none of which will be far from your Durham apartment.

Sweet tea and Hush Puppies

The most concentrated area for eating out can be found around the Duke and Research Triangle areas. Cosmic Cantina is great for quick, inexpensive Mexican food or hit The Magnolia Grill for upscale Southern cooking. As in most southern cities, you'll find barbeque places right and left.

Try hush puppies and sweet southern tea! Wherever your Durham apartment is located, you'll find great eateries. There are probably more four star restaurants in Durham than you'll find in even larger cities.

Nightlife in Durham

Also around the Duke area is a variety of bars. From sports bars to pubs to really nice bars, you can find most anything. If you are new to the area, try Shooters II, a place where drinks are cheap and where you'll make new friends.

It even has a mechanical bull and a dancing cage. If you like quieter spots, try Dain's Place for a more mellow crowd and great burgers and drinks.
