Old West Durham Condo for Sale

Old West Durham is one of Durham’s oldest neighborhoods, with lifestyles of the 19th century centered around quiet farming, rowdy tobacco trading and the constant hum of the cotton mill. As Durham’s economic development changed with the growth of Duke University, the neighborhood has remained at the heart of the action, situated 3 miles west of Durham’s city center. Today, Old West Durham lies directly across from Duke University Hospital, a highly esteemed teaching hospital and trauma center, specializing in pediatric care and cardiology, among other disciplines. The neighborhood borders Duke University’s East and Main campuses; Duke is a private research institution known for its academic rigor, neogothic architecture and nationally ranked basketball team. “A lot of Duke students and employees live in the neighborhood or nearby,” says Miles Honeycutt, who builds and sells homes in the neighborhood as the owner of Longleaf Building & Restoration and Longleaf Realty. “Old West Durham’s biggest perks are walkability to urban amenities and Duke.” Homeowners can also bike to Ninth Street’s locally owned shops and restaurants or to the LGBTQ Center of Durham.
