Croasdaile has gone from farmland to sought-after suburban community

Croasdaile is a vast suburban neighborhood on Durham ’s northern end known for its mix of homes and access to top-notch recreation. The land here once served as a dairy farm and amusement park before being developed in the 1960s. It consists of multiple subdivisions, giving buyers plenty of choices for housing style and location. The Croasdaile Country Club is a highlight of the neighborhood, offering a pristine golf course and newly renovated swimming pool. With Hillandale Road nearby and Interstate 85 to the south, popular destinations like downtown Durham and Duke University are never far away.

The Croasdaile Farm subdivision has over 400 homes, 260 apartments and over 50 luxury townhomes.

Tree-lined streets feature a wide mix of housing options

Homes in the neighborhood cover a variety of styles, from Colonial Revivals to expansive New Traditional houses. You’ll also see some areas with bungalows, split-levels and ranch-style homes. Tree-lined streets and spacious lots add a natural feel to the community. “When they built this neighborhood, they did something kind of unusual in that they didn’t cut down every single tree, so there’s a lot of old-growth trees,” says Steve Gardner, a Realtor at Urban Durham Realty and neighborhood resident. “They also didn’t make all the houses look the same. They had a requirement that you couldn’t have the same house as your neighbor.” Prices vary widely throughout the area. Homes under 2,500 square feet typically cost between the lower $300,000s and the lower $600,000s, while larger homes can range from the mid-$500,000s to around $1.9 million.
