Recensioni Durham

Overall rating 6
Overall Guide : 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 ... Leggi tutto 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 all ages is abundant and most neighborhoods are very family-oriented. Though my husband and I are seniors who moved to Durham just 3 years ago, it very quickly became our new home!

Overall Guide : Durham has various attractions in the form of art places, events and festivals, golf courses, sports activities and nature parks. A historic landmark of the city is the Carolina Theatre of Durham which dates back to 1926. It consists of ... Leggi tutto the Fletcher Hall which is the main stage, the Kirby Lobby and the Connie Moses Ballroom. Documentaries, plays and various film festivals keep the place alive. The Durham Central Park is a famous Municipal Park in the city which houses various art pieces and collectibles, a beautiful butterfly garden and lush lawns. Also worth visiting is the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science, featuring an array of exhibits on natural science. Featuring six weeks of summer festivities including modern dance performances by various artists is the American Dance Festival where visitors could also try learning different techniques of dance.
