Some of the best (and safest!) places to live in
Durham, North Carolina
include:
  1. Hope Valley Farms
  2. Northgate Park
  3. Parkwood
  4. Southpoint
  5. Treyburn
  6. Trinity Park
  7. Woodcroft
All of these neighborhoods are great for families and others who want to avoid living in areas with higher crime rates. Unfortunately, the city of Durham has a high overall crime rate compared to other cities in the United States. Most notably, residents recommend that you avoid McDougald Terrace and the surrounding area, as this is known as Durham’s most dangerous neighborhood.
