Sought-after neighborhood centered around Hope Valley Country Club
Hope Valley springs eternal. This thriving Durham suburb grew up around Hope Valley Country Club, established in 1926 as the area’s first country club community.

"Hope Valley is a very desirable area, and there's lots of demand for it," says Inna Shapiro, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty United. “It’s the leafy and quiet curving roads, beautifully landscaped homes, big stone walls and 100-year-old trees,” adds Laura Morgan, a Realtor with Compass Chapel Hill-Durham, who’s lived in the area for 24 years.

Midcentury ranch-style homes to million-dollar estates
Driving around the area’s rolling, wooded hills, one would discover multiple subdivisions with single-family homes in various styles and price points. While a townhouse or a 1970s ranch-style home can be listed in the mid-$200,000s, a Greek Revival mansion with golf course views can cost more than $1 million. There are also 21st-century multimillion-dollar estates, but most properties fall in the $500,000 and $600,000 range. Morgan says most buyers seek the neighborhood’s older homes that have been impeccably maintained, “They’re grand homes on larger lots, beautifully and thoughtfully laid out. There’s great landscaping and high-end finishes — all of the things that we love about luxury properties.” Homes typically sell within a month. “When a house comes on the market, it goes,” Morgan adds.
Many people that live in Hope Valley commute to Research Triangle Park.
