Try walking to shops, boutiques and destinations
The community and much of Durham are full of restaurants, from breweries and coffee shops to bars and sit-down diners. "You can walk to the farmers market and do your weekly shopping,” Hock says. “The number of restaurants in Durham itself is phenomenal, and most of them are quite good. You would be walking for coffee or dinner, or music and entertainment. The Durham Food Hall features 10 restaurants, two bars and plenty of space for parties. You can get your morning coffee at Cocoa Cinnamon and catch up with friends at Bull City Burger and Brewery. For groceries, Bulldega Urban Market offers gourmet ingredients, but there’s also a Harris Teeter and a Whole Foods Market about 2 miles away. Boutiques line West Main Street in City Center, but when you need more of a selection, there’s a Target about 5 miles away or a roughly 15-minute drive with light traffic.

Central Park residents are always close to the action, from scheduled events to entertainment destinations downtown. “Central Park, the park itself, is event central,” Hock says. “Just about every weekend, there’s something going on there, whether it's a Food Truck Rodeo or movie nights in the summer.” You might hear music and crowds during:
Food Truck Rodeos

Walking, biking and driving around town
Central Park is made for people who like to walk along paved sidewalks shaded by tall oak trees. “It's terribly convenient,” Hock says. “I’ve lived in that area since 1996. You’re very close to major highways, like the Durham Freeway and Interstate 85, but also it’s so walkable that you tend to walk or bike a lot. I think that’s what people like.” Raleigh is about 25 miles away using the freeway, but the Raleigh-Durham International Airport is closer, about 14 miles away. GoDurham buses make stops in the area, and Amtrak’s Durham Station is located a few blocks south on Main Street
Central Durham is a fun, vibrant and walkable section of Durham, NC.

Where you can take your dog for a day out
Having wide sidewalks means it easy to take your dog out for a walk, either to see what’s for sale at the Durham Farmers’ Market or visit pet-friendly shops, like Vessel Coffee House & Art Cafe. Locals bring their dogs to walk around Durham Central Park, but there’s also a playground called Mount Merrill, a skate park and a wide-open lawn for the many festivals held in the park throughout the year.
