Durham suburb accessible to anywhere in The Triangle
Bethesda is a growing and evolving Durham area within minutes of Research Triangle Park and downtown Durham. “We’ve had a big influx of people in the last few years. It’s had tremendous changes, but it’s still a good local, rural neighborhood,” says Norman Stallings, president of the Bethesda Ruritan Club and Bethesda resident for 85 years. “We still have a lot of older people from the community who’ve lived here since the 1930s and 40s. They’re people we rely on and who have a good quality of life.”
Bethesda Park, C.R. Wood Park and Umstead Park
Bethesda Park has a paved trail with a disc golf course, a high ropes course, and covered tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. Private groups can book the high ropes course for an afternoon, or individuals can sign up to use the course on monthly High Ropes Discover Days. In the northern portion of the neighborhood, C.R. Wood Park has a multiuse field and basketball courts. For more outdoor fun, Umstead Park is less than 7 miles down US-70 from Bethesda. Umstead Park has over 34 miles of hiking trails, three lakes, campgrounds and more.
Community events at the Ruritan Club and more entertainment nearby
The Bethesda Ruritan Club has served the community since 1955 and still organizes roadside pickups and delivers meals to community members in need. “We cater to local basketball and volleyball groups that want to come in and practice. Our recreation center is the home court of Bethesda Christian Academy,” Stallings says. “The Ruritan club also gives out tremendous scholarships to local high school graduates for colleges and technical schools. That’s a big part of our fundraising.” The Bethesda Ruritan Club also hosts community events, including a quarterly Monday Night Music event where community members gather for a night of singing and live music. On the weekend, residents can visit Frankie’s of Raleigh off Route 70 for rides and arcade games or head to downtown Durham to hit the breweries and bars.
New townhouses and older ranches and cottages
The housing stock in Bethesda largely includes recently constructed townhouses with Craftsman-inspired and modern architectural styles priced between $400,000 and $450,000. More established areas of Bethesda have modest brick ranches and cottages separated by mature trees and private driveways. These neighborhoods date as far back as the early 1900s and come on the market less frequently than the area’s new developments.
Students attend Durham Public Schools and private options
Students in Bethesda may begin schooling at Bethesda Elementary, which earned a C grade on Niche. Bethesda Elementary is at the former location of the Bethesda School, the area’s original K-12 school that opened around 1900. “Bethesda Baptist Church was pretty much the central function of the community back in the 40s and 50s and kind of dictated what the school did. But that has changed,” Stallings says. “There are so many people in the local community on the school board.” Bethesda Christian Academy, a private K-12 school, now operates at the church. Older students now progress to C-rated Lowe’s Grove Middle School and B-minus-rated Hillside High School, the oldest historically black high school remaining in the United States. North Carolina Central University and Durham Technical Community College are also within 5 miles of Bethesda.
Dining on Miami Boulevard and shopping in Brier Creek
Miami Boulevard has a variety of chain restaurants in and around Bethesda, including Cook Out, Bojangles and Wendy’s. The area also has locally owned restaurants. Among them are V’s Kitchen, a Southern restaurant serving comfort foods like fried pork chops and baby back ribs, and Piper’s In the Park, serving wraps and sandwiches. Bethesda is just 5 miles from Brier Creek as well, which has an array of big box stores and restaurants, including Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Chick-fil-A, LongHorn Steakhouse and more. Publix on Yunis Road is also nearby for grocery trips.
Getting around Durham, Raleigh and RTP
Bethesda is about 6 miles from downtown Durham, 9 miles from Raleigh-Durham International Airport and 20 miles from downtown Raleigh. The neighborhood is also within about 15 miles of Duke, UNC Chapel Hill and NC State Universities. Bethesda is immediately north of Research Triangle Park, a major office park with over 250 businesses, including IBM, Lenovo, Cisco and Bayer. The area is largely car-dependent, and transit is limited, though existing routes are serviced by GoDurham buses. Locals get around on major roads like I-885 and Miami Boulevard, which takes drivers to I-40.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
