Find a Durham Apartment

Durham is one of the three famous Research Triangle Cities. It’s also the home of three prestigious institutes of higher education, including Research Triangle Park, Duke University, and North Carolina Central University. Though certainly the most underrated of the triplet cities, Durham has a host of things to offer to visitors and residents alike. The city’s rich history is built on the tobacco and mill industries, but it has since progressed to become one of the best destinations for learning, shopping, dining, and living in North Carolina. From its vibrant nightlife to wonderful festivals and great shopping destinations, Durham has something to offer for everyone.

When to Search

Because Durham is the home of three major universities, it’s important to begin looking as early as possible. The apartment search season tends to begin around May, peaking in July, and petering out around August. Though there are certainly properties available after August, it may be more difficult to find them.

Staying in the Know

Durham is definitely the most underplayed of the Research Triangle Cities, but its recent cultural revival makes it an exciting (and affordable) place to live compared to Raleigh and Chapel Hill. The community here is incredibly vibrant and the people love their city. It’s easy to find friends and good neighbors here.

Life in Durham

Transportation

Durham has many walkable neighborhoods for those without a vehicle, though the Durham Area Transit Authority (DATA) has limited service range and is not known for its reliability. Durham residences with vehicles can sleep easy knowing that their short commute to work in the morning won’t involve heavy traffic or stress.

Where to play

There is no shortage of nightlife and shopping in Durham. If you’re looking for some of the best restaurants and shopping in the area, check out the famed 9th Street. At Brightleaf Square, enjoy some of Durham’s finest dining among the architecture of old tobacco warehouses. If you’re itching for a shopping spree, don’t miss out on the sprawling retail district at Streets at Southpoint.

Attractions

Durham’s past as a booming center of the tobacco industry has certainly made its mark on the city. Residents and visitors alike enjoy touring the Duke Homestead and Tobacco Factory, the historic farm where Washington Duke grew his product and sold into the world. This idyllic location is both picturesque and educational.

Of course, Bull City has more to offer than tobacco history. Enjoy taking a turn through the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, a beautiful 55-acre garden housing plants and exhibits from countries across the globe. You can also have a singular experience at the Duke Lemur Center, an 85-acre Prosimian primate sanctuary that allows you to learn all about these adorable creatures as you take a guided tour the facility.

Dining

The American Tobacco District in Downtown has also become a culinary hub for new and exciting restaurants. Eating your way through Durham is sure to be an exceptional experience!

Bars

Much like Durham’s food scene, the bars in Bull City are flourishing. Unsurprisingly, the area around Duke University is crawling with bumpin’ clubs and dirt cheap dives, ranging from a wild-west themed dance club to a popular brewery. If you're searching for a more adult crowd, head over to 9th Street or West Main and kick back at an industrial brewery or upscale wine bar. Rigsbee Avenue is also home to a few popular hangouts, including an LGBT Bar, moody lounges, and a few hole-in-the-walls too. As long as you have a few bucks, you'll never go thirsty in Durham!

Events

In April, the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival attracts international attention as one of America’s largest fests. May brings the Durham Art Walk, a huge showcase of local artists' work right downtown. Each summer the city also hosts the American Dance Festival, the nation's largest contemporary dance fest. Lovers of diversity can also check out Bimbe Festival, a free African Harvest festival with out-of-this-world live music, a craft bazaar, and delicious food. These are only some of the awesome events that'll keep you occupied in Bull City!

Outdoors
