Great place to live if you are single, a couple without children, a couple with children if you are financially able to enroll children in private schools, and, especially, a senior. Durham's public schools are the worst I have ever seen, with academic test scores barely on the charts and overall ratings in the 1 and 2 range where 1 is worst and 10 is best. Teachers are paid such low salaries, though, it is no wonder that the schools are so bad. Health care could not be better than here in Durham - or, the Triangle, and career opportunities abound in the world of technology. Durham housing is very, very affordable and an identical house in Chapel Hill would cost about $100,000 more (all but 3 schools in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro school system consistently rate 8 - 10). Entertainment for...
Absolutely a fantastic place to go; we enjoy it more than the Vineyard and as much as going to Napa or St. Helena for a getaway. So wonderful that a place like this still exists, like a European village in some respects.
