Durham is often ranked by the national media as one of the best places to live in the United States. Boasting all the amenities of a big city with the friendliness of a small town, it offers homes, apartments, and condos in a broad variety of styles and price ranges.

Downtown Durham: The Transformation Continues

The revitalization of downtown Durham has been on a fast track over the last 10 years. An area once filled with abandoned tobacco warehouses has emerged as a vibrant place to live, work, and play, with more exciting changes still to come.

Durham is home to an increasing number of talented chefs, and their unique regional cuisines and custom menus have won kudos from national food critics.

Durham is proving to be an irresistible location for technology startups, thanks to its close proximity to three universities and the lower cost of living compared to areas like the Silicon Valley. Entrepreneurs can draw on a network of local and regional economic development resources to help get their companies up and running.

When CNNMoney ranked Durham No. 1 on its 2010 list of the “25 Best Places To Retire,” the accolade came as no surprise to residents. The article praised Duke University’s lifelong learning program and the affordability of homes as well as the easy access to cultural attractions, golf courses, parks, and medical care.

Internationally renowned Duke University heads a list of award-winning and innovative Durham campuses.

“We believe that sustainability is smart for businesses and smart for communities and that barriers to becoming greener and more sustainable should be lowered so that all can participate.” — Chris Carmody, Director of the Institute for Sustainable Development
