Durham

The Triangle's second anchor city and home to Duke University, Durham has undergone a dramatic downtown revitalization centered on the American Tobacco Campus, Durham Performing Arts Center, and the growing tech and biotech employment base. Durham County's 330,000+ residents span the gamut from the walkable urban core and historic Brightleaf Square to suburban neighborhoods along NC-98 and the northern I-85 corridor. The city borders Research Triangle Park on its southeast side, providing direct access to the region's largest employment concentration. GoDurham bus service and GoTriangle regional routes connect to Raleigh and Chapel Hill.
