Homes like bungalows to grand estates
The community has homes built during the 1920s through the past decade. “Home prices are affordable when you’re looking at Durham as a whole,” says Charles Davies, broker and realtor of Davies Real Estate Group with Keller Williams Elite Realty. Davies is based in Durham but also sells in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Townhouses and bungalows might sell in the low $100,000s to low $500,000s. Contemporary builds can range in the high $500,000s to high $900,000s, while grand Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals go for $1 million to $4 million. Some of the most expensive homes in the area don’t have HOAs, but subdivisions like Hope Valley Farms charge around $30 a month, while Dunbarton charges around $405.
Well-kept lawns line residential streets throughout the neighborhood.
Hope Valley is known for mature trees and distinctive home styles.

4 miles to Duke University and its hospital, one of the city's leading employers for education and medical science.

Many residents also head to Downtown Durham, which is full of breweries, bars and a range of restaurants. Mothers & Sons Trattoria makes its mark on the downtown scene with handmade pasta, while Alley Twenty Six pairs a lengthy cocktail menu with charcuterie and small plate options.
